Carpet construction and carpet backings

Tufting usually is accomplished by inserting reciprocating needles threaded with yarn through the primary backing to form tufts or loops of yarn. Loopers or hooks, typically working in timed relationship with the needles, are located such that the loopers are positioned just above the needle eye when the needles are at an extreme point in their stroke through the backing fabric. When the needles reach that point, yarn is picked up from the needles by the loopers and held briefly. Loops or tufts of yarn result from the passage of the needles back through the primary backing. This process typically is repeated as the loops move away from the loopers due to advancement of the backing through the needling apparatus. 

Renowned for their superior quality and strength Yuzhimu can be used in the construction of tufted carpets for both commercial and domestic applications. Developed to meet the specific criteria of the floorcoverings industry our range of Yuzhimu primary backings provide a strong and stable cloth, a key requirement during the tufting process, to ensure all yarn tufts remain secure before the secondary backing is affixed using an adhesive.

All carpet has some type of backing system or chemistry that helps keep the tufts in place. Backing systems are made from a variety of materials and may also come with various kinds of protective treatments (such as anti-microbial or anti-stain) or beneficial properties (such as anti-static).
