Abstract

A woven carpet is manufactured using weft threads made of polyolefins, preferably a fibrillated tape. The warp threads and pile yarns are advantageously also made of polyolefins, thereby to provide a fully recyclable carpet.

Description

WOVEN CARPETS, AND METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE THEREOF
Field of the invention
The invention relates to the manufacture of woven carpets.
Background of the invention
Woven carpets are manufactured by passing a polypro- pylene yarn through between warp threads and weft threads. In the case of known woven carpets, the warp thread is made of cotton and the weft thread is normal¬ ly made of jute. A latex backing or a size is applied to the reverse side, this being necessary to make the carpet stiff.
A disadvantage of such known carpets is that their manufacture requires two process phases, in which the fabric is made first, and the backing or the size is then applied separately.
Besides, jute has the disadvantage that it breaks easi¬ ly, and that its use in the manufacture of carpets pro¬ duces large quantities of dust. Jute also has to be twisted, in order to make it suitable for use in weaving.
Further, both natural products and plastics are used in the case of known carpets. The disadvantage of this is that such carpets cannot be fully recycled, due to the fact that in this case an impure plastic is obtained and is consequently harmful to the environment. Summary of the invention
One object of the present invention is to propose a new type of woven carpet which is stiff in itself, without a size or a backing having to be applied to it.
Another object of the invention is to provide woven carpets which can be fully recycled.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a method for the manufacture of woven carpets.
These objects are achieved by a woven carpet and a method for the manufacture thereof as defined in the appended claims.
Description of the invention
In accordance with the invention use is made of weft threads made of plastic, namely polyolefins, e.g. poly¬ propylene or polyester. The warp threads can be made of, e.g. cotton or a combination of cotton and poly¬ olefins, while the pile yarn can be made of polypro- pylene. The woven carpet thus obtained has the advant¬ age that its manufacture is greatly simplified and is consequently economical, since no backing or no size need be applied to the underside. The woven carpet according to the invention also has the advantage that it is genuinely kind to the environment, through the fact that the production process does not give rise to any dust or dirt.
In order to make the woven carpets according to the invention fully recyclable, polyolefins are used not only for the pile yarn and the weft thread, but also for the warp thread.
Dispensing with natural products and using only plastic, namely polyolefins, means that when the carpet is being recycled virtually 100 % pure granules are obtained and can be reused, for example for the manu¬ facture of the backing of new carpets, e.g. tufted or needle-felt carpets, which has both economic advantages and advantages in terms of being less harmful to the environment. However, the granules obtained can also be used in, for example, the plastics industry for applic¬ ations in injection and extrusion.
It must also be emphasized that woven carpets which are fully waterproof are obtained by means of the inven¬ tion.
A special aspect of the invention is the use of fibril- lated tapes for the weft thread. Said fibrillated tapes are cut out of polyolefin films. The advantage of this is that the fibrillated tapes can be used untwisted, which has economic advantages. In fact, the twisting of conventional jute is expensive.
In addition, fibrillated tapes can be stored on large spools and delivered in this way, which facilitates the manufacturing process and consequently means an enorm¬ ous reduction in the manufacturing cost.
A further advantage of the 100 % plastic woven carpet according to the invention is that the usual finishing of the edges of the carpet can be dispensed with, and the thread ends can simply be fixed by automatic welding.
