Polymeric Compound Backing
PVC, bitumen or other. Primary function is to provide weight and dimensional stability.
In the precoat, VINNAPAS® vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) polymer dispersions bind the tufted fibers to the primary backing, provide good fiber bonding (tuft bind) properties to the carpet, and impart good wear resistance properties.

Provides dimensional stability.
PVC, bitumen or other. Primary function is to provide weight and dimensional stability.
Formulated with VINNAPAS® VAE dispersions; filled with calcium carbonate (selected fillers) and adjusted with additives, e.g., dispersing agents or thickeners. The precoat fixes the fibers to the primary backing.
Can be made from woven or nonwoven fabrics. Main function: carrier for fibers.
Made from synthetic fibers, such as polyamide, polypropylene and polyester, or natural fibers, such as wool or sisal.
