Yuzhimu reported substantial growth in the European flooring segment, including the increased use of Yuzhimu in artificial turf.

Its uniform structure, high tear resistance and isotropic characteristics make Yuzhimu particularly suitable for use as primary backing in patterned broadloom carpeting, carpet tiles and walk-off mats.

This specific composition allows the nonwoven to be used behind the most complex and deep molded car carpets manufactured at the highest quality standards.
