Carpet, carpets

Principle appHcations of needle-punched nonwovens for the 1990s include automotive, apparel components, blankets, carpeting, carpet pa dding, coating substrates, filtration, furniture, geotextiles, insulation, roofing substrates, and wall coverings. In 1990, the production of needle-punched fabric was estimated to approach 91,000 t and 606 million square meters (15). 

Carpet. Carpet, an important textile, may also be treated to provide water and oU repeUency however, the principal functions of the current carpet treatments are to provide soU and stain resistance. High quaUty carpets, especiaUy those made from nylon, polyester, or wool, have a significant proportion of the surface coated with fluorochemical materials. The treatments can be spray-appUed to a finished carpet or appUed directly to the fiber during the spinning or dyeing operations. Suitable fluorinated resin materials are readily avaUable from 3M or DuPont.

Invista, based in Calhoun, GA, has been recycling carpet since 1991. It will collect and reclaim any used carpet, as well as installation scraps, from any manufacturer, and guarantees that no material will be sent to landfill. Recycled materials are used in manufacture of new carpet, carpet cushions, filtration devices, automotive parts, packaging materials, and furniture. Users must pay for the service. ... 

Carpet underlay n. A separate fabric, which is used to provide cushioning for carpet. Carpet underlays are made of hair and jute, sponge rubber, bonded urethane, or foamed urethane. 

Debris recovered from the fire scene is often wet and burned, and may consist of material such as wood, carpet, carpet padding, tile, and other synthetic materials, all of which can contribute interfering volatile pyrolysis products that can make the identification of the accelerants difficult. The loss of accelerants through adsorption into the debris, evaporation from the heat of the blaze, and the presence of water all contribute to make the identification of accelerants a challenging task. GC can be a powerful tool in the analysis to separate and identify the accelerant in the presence of these interferences. Fultz and DeHaan have written an excellent chapter on GC in arson and explosive analysis (156). 

The polyolefins--particularly polypropylene—have found a number of applications particularly in home furnishings and industrial fabrics. Uses include indoor-outdoor carpeting, carpet backing, upholstery fabrics, seat covers, webbing for chairs, nonwovens, laundry bags, hosiery and knitwear (particularly as a blended fiber), fishnet, rope, filters, and industrial fabri cs.
