Carpet coating

MEYER » Anwendung » Carpet coating

Carpets are traditionally coated by applying a high grammage thermoplastic powder to the back of the carpet. The composition of the powder can vary depending on the desired function, allowing different mechanical and functional properties to be achieved.

After application, the powder is heated in a targeted manner until it melts and forms a stable, even layer. It is then recooled using a calender or flatbed system to fuse the coating permanently and ensure high product quality.

The technology is suitable for coating carpets as rolled goods as well as for anti-slip finishes. It is also used in the production of semifinished products for the automotive industry and offers versatile, durable and economical solutions for various applications.

Possible applications

• Coating of carpets as roll material
• Anti-slip finish for carpets
• Semifinished products for the automotive industry

Questions & Answers

How does carpet coating work?
In carpet coating, thermoplastic powder is applied to the backing in a high grammage, then melted and cooled using calenders or flatbed systems. This creates a stable, durable coating.
What are the advantages of carpet coating?
Coated carpets are given improved stability, greater slip resistance and a durable backing seal. Depending on the powder composition, various functional properties can be specifically adapted.
Where is carpet coating used?
Typical areas of application are carpets as rolled goods, anti-slip finishes for residential and commercial areas and semifinished products for the automotive industry.
