A deconstructed tufted carpet having an at least partially visible primary backing. In aspects, deconstructed carpet can utilize the primary backing layer as a design element of the overall pattern and styling in order to reduce material use, waste and the ounce weight of the finished carpet and to improve the method of carpet construction. In order to expose the primary backing, at least some yarn can be pulled very low in the pattern areas to expose the primary backing layer. It is contemplated that the primary backing layer can have a color that comprises part of the overall pattern and styling of the carpet.

In one aspect, floor coverings are described herein comprising nylon fibers dyed with at least one vat dyestuff, the dyed nylon fibers exhibiting enhancements to lightfastness, color fastness, wet fastness and/or resistance to household bleach.

Laminated light-blocking decorative articles are prepared by applying an aqueous foamed opacifying composition to a non-woven fabric, drying, laminating a decorative fabric to the resulting dry foamed opacifying layer, and densifying that layer to have a thickness that is at least 20% less than before densifying. This operation can be carried out so that non-woven fabric, decorative fabric, and aqueous foamed opacifying composition are supplied in a single-pass, in-line operation to make any desired quantity of a laminated light-blocking decorative article. The applied aqueous foamed opacifying composition has 35%-70% solids and a foam density of 0.1-0.5 g/cm.sup.3. It is composed of (a) porous particles, (b) a binder material, (c) two or more additives comprising at least one foaming surfactant and at least one foam stabilizer, (d) an aqueous medium, and (e) at least 0.0001 weight % of an opacifying colorant that absorbs electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength of 380-800 nm.

[Problems] Provided is a discoloring body which is discolored by application of water and has high glossiness and is excellent in applicability to various fields such as a toy field, a decoration field, and a design field.

[Solution] A discoloring body including a supporting body, a porous layer in which a low refractive index pigment is fixed in a dispersed state by way of a binder resin, and a glossy resin layer, in which an occupancy area ratio of the glossy resin layer is 1% to 95% with respect to a 1 cm square at any position in the porous layer.

Disclosed is a napped artificial leather dyed with a cationic dye, including: a non-woven fabric of a cationic dyeable polyester fiber having a fineness of 0.07 to 0.9 dtex; and an elastic polymer provided inside the non-woven fabric, wherein the napped artificial leather has L* value≤50, a grade of color difference determined in an evaluation of color migration to PVC under a load 0.75 kg/cm at 50° C. for 16 hours, of 4 or more, a tear strength per mm of thickness of 30 N or more, and a peel strength of 3 kg/cm or more.

A garment comprises yarns that include an elastic component and includes an uncoated region and a discrete coated region. The discrete coated region includes a coating that includes an acrylic polymer or copolymer thereof. The coated region has an air permeability substantially similar to the air permeability of the uncoated region.

The subject matter of the invention is an adhesive tape, in particular a wrapping tape for sheathing cables in automobiles. The adhesive tape is equipped with a textile support and at least one adhesive layer applied to one or both sides of the support. The support is coloured by an organic dye which is composed of yellow and red pigments. The yellow pigments are based on anthraquinone. According to the invention, pigments based on perylene are used as red pigments.
