A dimensionally stable universal floor covering includes a tufted textile having stitches and a reinforcement layer operatively connected to the stitches to provide dimensional stability for the entire floor covering. The reinforcement layer is made of fibers that are initially contained within a composition of adhesive and fibers. Mixing of the adhesive/fibers composition and/or injection of compressed air, assists in preparing the adhesive and fiber composition to be in the preferred condition and position prior to the forming of the reinforcement layer. Multiple sources of pressure, including vacuum, are applied in a controlled manner for moving the adhesive and fiber composition to form a reinforcement layer of fibers that is operatively connected to the stitches and/or to form a layer of fibers and adhesive that is contained within the stitches. The universal floor covering is selectively cut and transported in a roll for installation, and it can be conveniently recycled if necessary.

A dimensionally stable universal floor covering includes a tufted textile substrate and a reinforcement layer to provide dimensional stability for the entire floor covering. Vacuum, mixing, and injection of compressed air assists in preparing an adhesive and fiber composition to be in the preferred condition and position before the application of pressure to form the reinforcement layer. The universal floor covering is selectively cut and transported in a roll for installation, and it can be conveniently recycled if necessary.

A dimensionally stable floor covering, comprising a tufted textile substrate and a reinforcement layer wherein vacuum is used to move adhesive into stitch portions of the yarns and into the back side of the primary backing substrate to provide increased dimensional stability for the entire floor covering. Mixing of reinforcement fibers and adhesive takes place before in situ filtration of the adhesive and fibers. Further, compressed air is injected into the adhesive/fiber composition to provide spaces between the fibers before application of pressure to the composition. The vacuum, mixing, and injection of compressed air assist in preparing the adhesive and fiber composition to be in the preferred condition and position before the application of pressure to the composition.

A method to generate a non-woven fabric includes prearranging at least one thread guide arranged to guide at least one textile thread, prearranging moving means for actuating the thread guide according to at least one degree of freedom, prearranging at least one rigid support and handling each thread guide by the moving means for arranging at least one first portion of each textile thread along at least one first trajectory _1 on each rigid support. Each thread guide is handled by the moving means for arranging at least one second portion of each textile thread along at least one second trajectory _2 on each rigid support. Each second trajectory _2 overlaps with each first trajectory _1 at least at one intersection point P_i, joining each second portion of each textile thread with each first portion of each textile thread at each intersection point P_i.

A CIPP liner for repairing a sewer pipe comprises a cover fabric (1) and a base fabric (2) to be attached to each other using needle punch technology, as well as a stretchable plastic membrane (4) attached to the base fabric (2) with a flexible glue (3), into which flexible glue (3) also the with each other mixed fibres (5) of the cover fabric (1) and the base fabric (2) are glued. From this material, a CIPP liner corresponding to the dimensions of the sewer pipe is cut and sewn, the sewing seam of which is further taped.
