Abstract

Abstract The instant invention relates to a process for coating the back of textile floor coverings, e.g. carpets, with polyurethane foams wherein it is possible to obtain particularly firm fixing of the nap and improved anchorage of the textile filaments. The process broadly comprises: A. applying to the back of a textile floor covering a first coat consisting essentially of a reacting foamable mixture of a polyol and a large excess of polyisocyanate, B. before said first coat has been hardened, applying thereto reacting foamable mixture of substantially equivalent quantities of polyol and polyisocyanate, and C. thereafter hardening the resultant product.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 125 words
A process for coating the back of a textile floor covering with a polyurethane foam comprising: (a) applying a reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture of a polyol and a polyisocyanate directly to the back of said textile floor covering, the NCO to OH equivalent ratio in said reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture being from 1.5:1 to 3.5:1; (b) applying to said reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture before said reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture has fully reacted a second reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture of a polyol and a polyisocyanate, the NCO to OH equivalent ratio in said second mixture being from 0.95:1 to 1.25:1; and (c) allowing the composite material of step (b) to harden, thereby forming said foam coating.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 125 words
A process for coating the back of a textile floor covering with a polyurethane foam comprising: (a) applying a reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture of a polyol and a polyisocyanate directly to the back of said textile floor covering, the NCO to OH equivalent ratio in said reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture being from 1.5:1 to 3.5:1; (b) applying to said reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture before said reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture has fully reacted a second reacting foamable or reacting prefoamed mixture of a polyol and a polyisocyanate, the NCO to OH equivalent ratio in said second mixture being from 0.95:1 to 1.25:1; and (c) allowing the composite material of step (b) to harden, thereby forming said foam coating.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said second mixture is prefoamed prior to application to the first mixture.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the same materials are used in both layers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 14 words
The process of claim 1, wherein step (c) comprises hardening in a heated zone.
