ABSTRACT:
A tufted pile fabric in which the pile yarns extend from a backing fabric to form the face of the fabric. The backing fabric comprises a fibrous substrate comprised of a blend of synthetic filaments having a high-melt temperature and synthetic filaments having a low-melt temperature. The pile yarns are also formed of a blend of synthetic low-melt filaments and synthetic high-melt filaments spun together. The filaments forming the pile yarn are cut into staple lengths prior to spinning. The low-melt filaments of the backing fabric and the pile yarn have the same melt temperature. The tufted pile fabric is subjected to sufficient heat during the tufting operation to cause the low-melt filaments to soften and to thermally bond the pile yarns with the backing fabric to provide a stable tufted pile fabric without a backing coating.
