Carpet backing - Import export

The new generation of fabric backing After the carpet raw material has been tufted and dyed in the colour desired by the customer, the tennis floor is given the necessary nap binding and stability by the back coating. With the classic latex coating, the yarn binding and the coating with a textile secondary backing (action back) are achieved using a highly chalk-filled latex dispersion. This makes the carpet relatively heavy and stiff. With this coating technology, the elasticity only comes from the yarn layer, which is also the wear layer. This means that tennis floors with a classic woven backing become harder year after year, particularly in the main running areas that are subject to the most wear. There is no sustainable elastic layer.
