More particularly, Reith describes using a composite hot melt adhesive comprising a primary layer in contact with the tufted primary backing and a secondary layer in contact with the secondary backing. Polyolefin and acrylic yarns, as well as nylon and polyester yarns are described as being suitable in this process. The primary layer comprises a first hot melt adhesive and the secondary layer comprises a second hot melt adhesive having a different viscosity than the first adhesive.
  • Hot melt adhesives may be in the form of a composite sheet or separate sheets.
  • Hot melt adhesives suitable for use in such a process are described by Reith as comprising a base resin, modifying or takifying resins, waxes, plasticizers, antioxidants, and fillers based on certain weight percentages.

  • copolymer contains at least 8% by weight of ester groups and at least 1% by weight of carboxylic acid groups.
  • this resin provides for good tuft binding strength in the carpet, because it is capable of bonding to the nylon and polyester tufts by both a mechanical and chemical bonding means, unlike conventional hot melt adhesives.

  • the melt index of the thermoplastic resin used in this invention should be less than about 500 dg/min, and preferably less than 200 dg/min, as measured by the procedure of ASTM D-1238 (Condition E). It is preferred that the melt index be at least 2 dg/min, and especially in the range of 2-50 dg/min.

The molten mixture is then extruded or cast uniformly through a die directly onto the secondary backing. Generally, the amount of resin applied to the secondary backing is greater than 0.25 ounces per square yard of secondary backing material and preferably about 2.5 to 12 oz/yd 2 is applied.
