Abstract: Stabilizing a fabric layer and simultaneously laminating a fabric to a bulky and cushioning backing layer using multiple internal adhesive layers placed within the fabric layer forms a composite textile. The melt index, weight and chemical compatibility of the adhesive layers versus the adjacent fabric sub-strata and the backing layer are adjusted to achieve the desired penetration of molten adhesive, mechanical bonding and chemical bonding. An optional external adhesive layer with a low melt index can be added between the fabric layer and the backing layer to facilitate attachment to a highly porous backing.

Abstract: Resin dissolved or suspended in liquid is applied to a greige fabric formed with finer denier yarns forming surface loops before the fabric is bulked and after the liquid has been removed by low-temperature drying. The dried fabric is then bulked at a higher temperature setting the resin, resulting in superior loop tip resilience, and superior surface durability. Bulking and simultaneous resin setting optionally includes shrinking in area by 10-20%. Print appearance retention is also superior when printing follows bulking and setting of the resin.

Abstract: A surface covering tile has a plurality of edges extending between the face and the back surface. A pressure sensitive adhesive is disposed on the back surface and covers less than 40% of the back along each one of the plurality of edges where the back surface intersects the plurality of edges. For highly porous back surfaces, the pressure sensitive adhesive is selected and applied in a manner limiting penetration into the back surface. The amount of pressure sensitive adhesive required to affix the tile is reduced, and the tile can be optionally constructed in a manner that facilitates lateral movement of the tile during installation.

Abstract: A textile fabric with a three-dimensional contour that blocks fluid penetration at the surface is created by attaching a solid liquid-blocking polymeric layer conforming to the contours of the surface to a fabric layer. The surface includes elevated areas, depressed areas, a plurality of surface fibers and gaps among the plurality the plurality of surface fibers. The liquid-blocking polymeric layer is forced to follow the contours of the surface fibers and gaps using vacuum, heat and forced air. The resulting textile fabric maintains a textile appearance.

Abstract: Stabilizing a fabric or bonding multiple layers using a multi-layered adhesive layer places an intermediate thermoplastic adhesive between a first layer and a second layer or within the fabric. The intermediate thermoplastic adhesive layer has a plurality of sub-layers with a plurality of melt indexes. Heat and pressure are applied to at least one of the first layer and the second layer or to the fabric to melt the adhesive layer and to achieve a bond between the first layer and the second layer or to stabilize the fabric.

Abstract: An added layer attached to a textile sheet using polymeric adhesive placed over a textile sheet or between the textile sheet and an added layer is removed by applying heat or a solvent and at least one of an abrasive action, squeezing, or shaving action to remove the adhesive layer or both the added layer and the adhesive sublayer and to prepare the textile sheet for recycling into a new textile structure, preferably into a textile sheet performing the same function as the original textile sheet.

Abstract: A textile fabric having improved properties, variously including surface stability, abrasion resistance, resistance to edge fraying, moisture control, and resistance to fluid penetration is created by introducing a polymeric solution or a plurality of low-melting particles suspended in a liquid into the textile fabric while leaving a plurality of surface fibers exposed and maintaining a textile feel on the surface.
