= Colour pigments are added to the different filaments before they are extruded into yarn.
+ The filaments are dyed through and through so that there are no visible colour differences and seams between the different tiles.
+ Better colourfastness.
- Large production runs.
Example: Millennium, Centennium.
07
Dyeing: Space Dyed
= Several colours are printed onto the yarn, thus creating
specific colour combinations.
+ Gives a special effect to the carpet.
- The colour pigments do not penetrate as deeply into
the yarn.
Example: Resist100, Reverse100.
08
Dyeing: Piece Dyed
Result:
Unicoloured = even dyeing.
Differential dyeing = multi-coloured dyeing.
The result depends on the chemical composition of the yarn.
09
Latex
Purpose
Anchoring of the pile.
Assure dimensional stability.
Improve backside.
Resistance to fraying.
Steady amount of latex = uniform thickness.
10
Latex: oven
A long oven
Low temperature.
Better pile bonding.
11
Latex: control
12
Bitumen line
13
Bitumen
The purpose of the backing is to:
anchor the pile;
improve the dimensional stability;
give weight to the carpet tile;
enhance the feeling of comfort.
Working with extrusion gives a constant
coating composition.
14
Antistatic
An antistatic agent is a compound used for treatment of materials in order to reduce or eliminate buildup of static electricity
15
Tile markings
Each carpet tile is printed with
the following information.
arrow: indication of the production
direction;
batch number;
SAP-number;
date and time;
16
Plates
17
Cutting of the tiles
All products have a perfect connection of the seams.
