Definitions

• the invention relates to a method for manufacturing a textile complex which can be used as substrate for the manufacture of tufted carpets.
• Such a product is for instance known from the Ne­therlands patent application NL-77.04148.
• the art described therein relates exclusively to fine-tufted carpets.
• Fibre fleeces FLWs and CLWs have a better pile image in the case of fine pile distributions and a better dimensional stability than woven substrates.
• the dimensional stability of a backing is of prior importance if geometric patterns such as lines and rectangles occur in the tufted carpet. If there is insufficient dimen­sional stability, deformation of these patterns will result. The properties of a backing should for these and other reasons be the same in all directions.
• a fibre fleece possesses this dimensional stability. During the manufacture of a carpet with geometric patterns the backing has to have a certain stretch and elasticity. Fibre fleeces do not have sufficient stretch and elasticity and this can lead among other things to damage occurring.
• Fibre fleeces particularly in the case of threads with a linear density of more than 3000 dtex, moreover have an insufficient tuft-lock. This means that the hole resulting from penetration of the substrate by the tufting needle does not close up sufficiently after this penetration. The pile threads are therefore not held sufficiently firmly in place.
• Fibre fleeces are furthermore unsuitable because their price is markedly higher than that of a woven substrate of FLW or a CLW.
• FLWs and CLWs are unsuitable because their multi-­purpose use is limited, and also because the pile image in the case of very fine tufted carpets is inadequate.
• the invention has for its object to offer a method for a textile complex which can be used as substrate for tufted carpets, and which in addition to meeting already existing requirements also satisfies the following require­ments:
• Step (2) can for instance be performed by a yarn knit process, while in appropriate circumstances a stitching or sewing process may be suitable.
• the invention relates to a textile complex obtained by application of a method as specified above.
• Pile image improvement is brought about by making use of a fleece and by improving the dimensional stability.
• the needling process of the knitting operation also gives an improvement in the pile image because the complex becomes softer and more flexible; as a result fewer needle deviations occur during tufting.
• binder thread for the yarn knit a thread that can be dyed is chosen the dye susceptibility of the whole substrate can be improved.
