Typically, it will be from about 50 to about 800 dry weight parts filler, more typically from about 100 to about 600 dry weight parts, and most typically from about 250 to about 600 dry weight parts, in each case per 100 dry weight parts of copolymer solids.
  • One or more polymeric thickeners is typically included in the composition to provide sufficient viscosity for application according to conventional methods.
  • Any polymeric thickener known in the carpet coating art may be used, for example hydroxyethyl cellulose and sodium polyacrylate.
  • any amount of polymeric thickener may be used, the inventors have found that typically no more than 6 wt% of thickener is needed, relative to the amount of aqueous dispersion of the copolymer, and thus in some embodiments of the invention no more than 6 wt% is used, relative to the amount of aqueous dispersion of the copolymer.
  • At most 5 wt% or at most 4 wt% is used, relative to the amount of aqueous dispersion of the copolymer.
  • at least 1 wt% of thickener, or at least 2 wt% is used, relative to the amount of aqueous dispersion of the copolymer.

  • a roll over roller applicator is used.
  • the primary coating coats at least the loops on the back side of the primary backing, and may also coat some or all of the back side of the backing itself.
  • the primary and secondary backing materials are brought together to bring the still-wet primary and secondary coating compositions into contact, typically with application of pressure, and heat is then applied to evaporate the water from the coatings. This may be done by passing the product through an oven, typically set at a temperature between about 100°C and 150°C. Upon cooling, the final product is obtained.
  • a significant advantage of carpet products obtained according to the invention is better delamination resistance compared with carpet products according to the state of the art.

  • the secondary backing was coated with the secondary coating composition with a draw-down bar at a 762 ⁇ m (30 mil) wet film thickness, resulting in about 237 g/m 2 (7 oz./yd 2 ) of secondary coating solids.
  • the wet coated secondary backing was pressed against the wet coating layer on the primary backing with a large stainless steel roller.
  • the assembly was dried at 132°C (270°F) in a convection air oven for 20 minutes, and the resulting carpet product was allowed to stand at ambient temperature and humidity for at least two hours before testing.

The carpet sample is submerged into the water and allowed to soak for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the sample is removed and placed on a paper towel for 30 seconds to soak up excess water. The carpet is then taken to be tested for tuft bind values as previously described.
  • the loop hook was inserted in the loop to be pulled. By visual inspection it was insured that only one loop was hooked for testing.
  • the tuft was pulled at a speed of 304.8 cm (12 in) per minute. The pull was continued until the tuft was separated from the primary backing.
  • Carpet Delamination resistance was determined according to ASTM D3936-05. This procedure is a method to calculate the force required to separate the secondary backing material from the primary backing material.
  • Samples for wet delamination were prepared one at a time according to the following procedure: An untested strip of the dimensions described above was placed in a 3.8 liter (one gallon) container that had been filled with cold tap water. The carpet sample was submerged into the water and allowed to soak for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes the sample was removed and placed on a paper towel for 30 seconds to soak up excess water. The sample was then tested for delamination values as described below.
