Abstract

The invention concerns a thermomoldable carpet having a 100 % recyclable insulator made of a single polymer laminated onto a secondary substrate by thermofusion based on infrared units. Recycled low-denier-per-filament fibers made of the same polymer or resin as that of the surface or primary base of the carpet are used as means for mechanical backing. Said fibers must not necessarily have a different molecular weight or a different fusion point. The fibers form a bonded-pile or fabric and are applied by simple superimposition and tied when the threads are inserted during the tufting process of the carpet. The fibers may also form a non-woven. Secondary lamina layers and the same polymer or resin used for the other elements already applied to the carpet are laminated onto the non-woven, one of said layers being a foam insulator. All components have one common denominator, namely the thermoplastic resin, which makes them 100 % recyclable. No other method such as precipitation or the like is needed for the selection of the polymers. In order to manufacture a recyclable thermomoldable carpet, the front and rear sides of the carpet are protected during the manufacturing process by performing wetting and by applying a cooling process using sprinklers and tools with water re-circulation and chambers in which cold air is applied.

Otra ventaja que ofrece la alfombra moldeable 100% reciclable construido de una misma resina o polímero en todas las partes que lo integran y su procedimiento de producción con laminación a una base secundaria por medio de fusión de fibras recicladas previamente insertadas, es que es un producto reciclable y ecológico, debido a que en el mismo desde su inicio esta utilizando productos ya de por sí reciclados o destinados al reciclaje como lo son las fibras insertadasOne of the advantages of the 100% recyclable moldable carpet constructed of the same resin or polymer in all the parts that integrate it and its production process with secondary base laminated by the process of the present invention, is that because the carpet is joined and the secondary base, by means of the fusion of the materials of the same resin (polypropylene or polyester) without the intervention of other resins or foreign elements that contaminate the final product for recycling purposes, or that make it difficult and expensive for The presence of other polymers in the initial production process, results in this product the first 100% recyclable thermoformable automotive carpet on the market. Another advantage offered by the 100% recyclable moldable carpet constructed of the same resin or polymer in all the parts that comprise it and its production process with lamination to a secondary base by means of fusion of previously inserted recycled fibers, is that it is a product recyclable and ecological, because in the same since its inception is using products already recycled or destined for recycling as are the inserted fibers
Una ventaja más de la alfombra termomoldeable 100% reciclable construida de una misma resina o polímero en todas las partes que lo integran y su procedimiento de producción es que su aislante por ser espumado de una resina similar a las otras partes que la integran permite la reducción de costos radicalmente en el uso de la alfombra ya que los pesos del producto se aligeran en un gran porcentaje comparativamente con los proceso actuales por lo tanto los automóviles que utilicen el producto obtenido con el procedimiento de esta patente reducirán el peso de la alfombra y por ende del auto en el que esta se instale y esto tendrá por consecuencia la menor utilización de combustible para el desplazamiento del auto trayendo el beneficio de menores emisiones contaminantes a la atmosfera cosa que no sucede con los métodos convencionales actuales de producción de alfombras automotrices termomoldeables.A further advantage of the 100% recyclable thermoformable carpet constructed of the same resin or polymer in all the parts that integrate it and its production process is that its insulator being foamed from a resin similar to the other parts that integrate it allows the reduction of costs radically in the use of the carpet since the weights of the product are lightened in a large percentage comparatively with the current processes therefore the cars that use the product obtained with the procedure of this patent will reduce the weight of the carpet and by In addition to the car in which it is installed and this will have as a consequence the lower use of fuel for the displacement of the car, bringing the benefit of lower pollutant emissions into the atmosphere, something that does not happen with the current conventional methods of producing thermoformable automotive carpets.
Otra ventaja más que presenta la alfombra termomoldeable 100% reciclable construido de una misma resina o polímero en todas las partes que lo integran y su procedimiento de producción es que en el caso de ser automotriz al ser este mismo de polipropileno como en la actualidad son la mayoría de partes que integran el interior y exterior de los vehículos automotrices modernos permite que los tapetes sean reciclados como parte del vehículo sin tener necesidad de un procedimiento diferente para su reciclado, teniendo la ventaja de que estos son 100% reciclables como cualquiera de sus partes externas de resina olefinicas o de polipropileno Aplica el mismo principio con el poliester en EuropaAnother advantage that presents the 100% recyclable thermoformable carpet constructed of the same resin or polymer in all the parts that integrate it and its production procedure is that in the case of being automotive being this same of polypropylene as at present they are the Most parts that make up the interior and exterior of modern automotive vehicles allow the rugs to be recycled as part of the vehicle without needing a different procedure for recycling, having the advantage that these are 100% recyclable as any of its external parts of olefinic resin or polypropylene Apply the same principle with polyester in Europe
Una ventaja más de la alfombra termomoldeable 100% reciclable construida de una misma resina o polímero en todas las partes que lo integran y su procedimiento de producción es que su aislante por ser espumado de una resina similar a las otras partes que la integran permite la reducción de costos radicalmente tanto en las máquinas del proceso de terminado de la alfombra como en las máquinas de termomoldeo ya que la operación se realiza en una sola exposición y no en dos como en los métodos convencionales actualesA further advantage of the 100% recyclable thermoformable carpet constructed of the same resin or polymer in all the parts that integrate it and its production process is that its insulator being foamed from a resin similar to the other parts that integrate it allows the reduction of costs radically both in the machines of the carpet finishing process and in the thermoforming machines since the operation is carried out in a single exposure and not in two as in the current conventional methods
Una ventaja más de la alfombra termomoldeable 100% reciclable construida de una misma resina o polímero en todas las partes que lo integran y su procedimiento de producción es que por ser las fibras sobrepuesta, la base o sustrato primario, estas sirven para sujetar y amarrar las fibras intermedias de los hilos, los hilos que conforman la cara de la alfombra del mismo y el recubrimiento secundario ya sea con presencia textil de polipropileno o sea un perfil de los conocidos como TPO ( Thermo Plástic Olefin ) olefinico termoplástico con o sin espumación, todos ellos del mismo tipo de resina o bien todos de resina poliester, éstos juntos pueden reprocesarse bajo un mismo procedimiento sin utilización de elementos químicos que las dispersen o procedimientos que precipiten los productos a altos costos de operación en su reproceso, esta ventaja es que para el reciclado solo demanda la molienda de la alfombra y su peletización ya que cada uno de los productos elementos integrantes del mismo, pueden ser directamente reciclados sin procesos adicionales por ser el mismo polímero..A further advantage of the 100% recyclable thermoformable carpet constructed of the same resin or polymer in all the parts that make it up and its production process is that since the fibers are superimposed, the base or primary substrate, these serve to hold and tie the intermediate fibers of the threads, the threads that make up the face of the carpet and the secondary coating either with a polypropylene textile presence or a profile of those known as thermoplastic olefinic TPO (Thermo Plastic Olefin) with or without foaming, all they of the same type of resin or all of polyester resin, these together can be reprocessed under the same procedure without the use of chemical elements that disperse them or procedures that precipitate the products at high operating costs in their reprocessing, this advantage is that for the recycling only demands the grinding of the carpet and its pelletization since each of the products integrating elements of the same, can be directly recycled without additional processes for being the same polymer ..
Abundando más una ventaja del procedimiento de la presente invención está en la no utilización de adhesivos en la fijación de los hilos del textil o cara de la alfombra a su sustrato primario o base ya sea tejido, tejido tufting o tejido no tejido, esto se hace mediante la utilización de radiadores infrarrojos que permiten la termofusión en áreas determinadas del textil que permitirá el sujetamiento de sus fibras a su sutrato o base primaria lo que permite la eficientización de espacios ya que normalmente los hornos para el secado del látex o adhesivos son de enormes dimensiones puesto que tienen que evaporar grandes volúmenes de agua o solventes a muy rápidas velocidades, el tipo de horno de radiación infrarroja utilizado en el procedimiento de la presente invención, es de menores dimensiones y de mayor eficiencia que los hornos convencionales utilizando espacios muy reducidos y no genera contaminaciónFurther abounding an advantage of the process of the present invention is in the non-use of adhesives in fixing the threads of the textile or carpet face to its primary substrate or base either woven, tufted fabric or nonwoven fabric, this is done by using radiators infrared that allow thermofusion in certain areas of the textile that will allow the fastening of its fibers to its sutrate or primary base, which allows space efficiency since normally the ovens for drying latex or adhesives are of enormous dimensions since they have to evaporate large volumes of water or solvents at very fast speeds, the type of infrared radiation furnace used in the process of the present invention is smaller and more efficient than conventional furnaces using very small spaces and does not generate pollution
Otra ventaja más de la alfombra termomoldeable 100% reciclable construido de una misma resina o polímero en todas las partes que lo integran y su procedimiento de producción con base secundaria fusionada y laminada sin la utilización de látex o adhesivos utilizando fibras recicladas insertadas de polipropileno o de poliester como agente de laminación por Thermo fusión de las mismas, es que el proceso de termofusión es muy competitivo en costos tanto de energía como de materia prima utilizada esto porque que las fibras thermofusionadas son de origen reciclado en sí y su costo es bajo siendo sus ventajas financieras y ecológicas muy altas.Another advantage of the 100% recyclable thermoformable carpet constructed of the same resin or polymer in all the parts that integrate it and its production process with a secondary base fused and laminated without the use of latex or adhesives using recycled fibers inserted from polypropylene or Polyester as a thermo fusion laminating agent thereof, is that the thermofusion process is very competitive in both energy and raw material costs used because the thermofused fibers are of recycled origin itself and their cost is low being their very high financial and ecological advantages.
Otro objeto de la invención, es proporcionar a alfombra termomoldeable 100% reciclable construida de una misma resina o polímero en todas las partes que lo integran y su procedimiento de producción de la presente invención un sentido de impermeabilidad puesto que al momento de fusionarse las fibras entre sí y al ser laminadas producen una película que servirá de barrera que en lo futuro impedirá que los líquidos que normalmente en el uso cotidiano de las alfombras caen sobre la misma, auxilia a que no penetren de igual manera no presentara delaminaciones de su base rígida por no tener en ninguna de sus partes componente adhesivo alguno que se descomponga por el contacto con el agua además en el caso de ser de polipropileno o poliester un material completamente inerte esto lo convierte en un producto que no crea hongo.Another object of the invention is to provide a 100% recyclable thermoformable carpet constructed of the same resin or polymer in all the parts that comprise it and its production process of the present invention a sense of impermeability since at the time of fusing the fibers between Yes and when they are laminated they produce a film that will serve as a barrier that in the future will prevent the liquids that normally in the daily use of the carpets fall on it, it helps that they do not penetrate in the same way it will not present delaminations of its rigid base by not having any of its parts any adhesive component that decomposes on contact with In addition, in the case of polypropylene or polyester being a completely inert material, this makes it a product that does not create a fungus.
Otra ventaja mas en la alfombra termomoldeable 100% reciclable construida de una misma resina o polímero en todas las partes que lo integran y su procedimiento de producción es el material reciclado Fibras que se utilizan como fibras de fusión integradas a la alfombra al ser esta tejida, es que estas fibras al fusionarse y por ser del mismo polímero que las fibras que componen el hilo y las fibras que componen la base primaria y la base secundaria que se le lamina, estas al laminarse por la presión dado frió herramental de presión y termo moldeado y al encontrarse en punto de fusión hacen el anclaje mecánico de las fibras que integran el hilo de la cara de la alfombra no permitiendo que éste en lo futuro se suelte por el proceso de abrasión normal que la alfombra recibe en su cara o superficie expuesta, término que en la técnica de producción de la alfombra se le llama el sellado del nudo insertado en el caso tufting y en el caso de otros procedimiento sellado de las fibras esto se realiza a muy bajo costo por ser las fibras de material ya de por sí recicladoAnother advantage in the 100% recyclable thermoformable carpet constructed of the same resin or polymer in all the parts that integrate it and its production process is the recycled material Fibers that are used as fusion fibers integrated into the carpet when it is woven, is that when these fibers merge and because they are of the same polymer as the fibers that make up the yarn and the fibers that make up the primary base and the secondary base that are laminated, you are laminated by the pressure given cold pressure tool and thermoforming and when they are in a melting point they make the mechanical anchoring of the fibers that make up the thread of the face of the carpet not allowing it to be released in the future by the normal abrasion process that the carpet receives on its face or exposed surface, term that in the carpet production technique is called the sealing of the knot inserted in the tufting case and in the case of other fibr sealing procedure This is done at a very low cost because the fibers of material are already recycled.
Una ventaja mas que ofrece el proceso y producto de la presente invención es que en su procedimiento de manufactura no se requiere de ningún otro proceso de terminado textil, ya que del tejido se corta un lienzo y se procesa bajo el sistema de la presente invención, ahorrando tiempo, dinero y esfuerzo así como inversión en espacios e infraestructura esto debido a que dentro del proceso de esta invención se utiliza un radiador de calor que fusiona la cara posterior de la alfombra dejándola terminada para solo cortar sus rebordes y empacarse para su ventas e instalaciónA further advantage offered by the process and product of the present invention is that in its manufacturing process no other textile finishing process is required, since a canvas is cut from the fabric and processed under the system of the present invention, saving time, money and effort as well as investment in spaces and infrastructure this because in the process of this invention a heat radiator is used that fuses the back face of the carpet leaving it finished to only cut its flanges and pack it for sales and installation
Otra ventaja que ofrece el procedimiento de la presente invención es que no se requiere de usar como vehículo de fusión fibras de menor punto de fusión que las convencionales o bien de otros polímeros, sino que con las fibras convencionales del mismo polímero o resina de los otros materiales integrantes de los insumos que componen la alfombra y debido a la protección que se le da tanto a la cara del producto como a el sustrato del tejido se logra este objetivo de uso de fibras con el mismo punto térmico de fusión. Another advantage offered by the process of the present invention is that it is not required to use fibers of lower melting point than conventional or other polymers as a fusion vehicle, but with the Conventional fibers of the same polymer or resin of the other materials that make up the carpet components and due to the protection given both to the face of the product and to the fabric substrate, this objective of fiber use is achieved with the same thermal melting point.

Es bien conocido que alfombras termomoldeables para piso representan un grave problema ecológico para reciclamientoIt is well known that thermoformable floor mats represent a serious ecological problem for recycling
TÉCNICA PREVIAPRIOR TECHNIQUE
Anteriormente en términos generales, las alfombras termomoldeables, no presentan una característica de sellado o anclaje de hilos insertados a su base primaria por un proceso de termofusión sino la aplicación de recubrimientos de resinas pulverizadas o películas plásticas y por lo tanto, para la obtención del anclaje de sus hilos a la base primaria se debe de usar látex de estireno Butadieno o bien resinas de polietileno o de PVC Cloruro de polivinilo o de EVA Acetatos de Ethil Vinilo, aplicadas por proceso de extrusión directa, o espolvoreadas en el reverso del producto, o bien por medio de fusión de capas textiles de diferentes polimeros con diferente punto térmico de fusión previamente insertadas en el producto principal y en su base secundarias. Para la aplicación del procedimiento y el logro de producto reivindicado no se utiliza ninguno de los sistemas conocidos hasta la fecha ni extrusión ni de espolvoreo de resinas ni de inserción de capas textiles de diferentes polímeros o diferentes puntos térmicos de fusión Previously, in general terms, thermoformable carpets do not have a characteristic of sealing or anchoring threads inserted to their primary base by a thermofusion process but the application of coatings of pulverized resins or plastic films and therefore, for obtaining the anchor from their threads to the primary base, styrene Butadiene latex or polyethylene or PVC resins should be used, Polyvinyl Chloride or EVA Ethil Vinyl Acetates, applied by direct extrusion process, or sprinkled on the back of the product, or good through of fusion of textile layers of different polymers with different thermal melting point previously inserted in the main product and in its secondary base. For the application of the process and the achievement of the claimed product, none of the systems known to date is used, neither extrusion nor sprinkling of resins nor insertion of textile layers of different polymers or different thermal melting points.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La invención consiste en el desarrollo de un procedimiento para la creación de una alfombra termomoldeanble con su aislante integrado 100% reciclable elaborada en todos sus componentes de un solo polímero esto es las fibras, los substratos primarios y la base espumada o aislante , así como el producto obtenido denominado alfombra automotriz termomoldada con aislante integrado 100% reciclable elaborado de un solo polímero. El procedimiento y el producto obtenido del mismo consisten en los siguientes pasos y fundamentos.The invention consists in the development of a process for the creation of a thermoformable carpet with its integrated 100% recyclable insulator made in all its components of a single polymer that is the fibers, the primary substrates and the foamed or insulating base, as well as the product obtained called automotive thermoformed carpet with integrated 100% recyclable insulation made of a single polymer. The procedure and the product obtained from it consist of the following steps and basics.
Por la inserción de una napa de fibras de muy bajo denier entre el sustrato primario de un tejido tufting y los hilos que se tejen a fin de crear lo que será el vehículo de sujeción mecánica de los hilos insertados entre esta napa y la base o sustrato primario, la inserción de una napa de fibras oliefinicas de muy bajo denier por filamento (DPF) produce un cambio de densidades que impide el flujo de las temperaturas de fusión dentro del producto base primaria de la alfombra lo que permite que las láminas oliefinicas aplicadas en la parte posterior de la misma y expuestas a la acción de rayos infrarrojos de alta y baja onda sean llevadas hasta su punto de fusión sin afectar la estabilidad dimensional del sustrato primario de la alfombra ni las fibras de la cara de la misma. Al ser expuestas y llegar a su punto de fusión, tienen un tiempo de microsegundos para antes de afectar el sustrato, fundir parte de la superficie de la napa de minifibras de bajo DPF en el momento de transformación de las placas de sólido a fusión o derretimiento ésta va siendo gradual debido a que las placas están separadas y expuestas individualmente y su fusión va de exterior a interior placa por placa lo que permite tener las dos primeras placas completamente derretidas y la tercera o subsecuentes se encuentran en menor grado de fusión lo que da tiempo de retirar las aplicaciones de infrarrojas y la energía concentrada sigue trabajando hasta lograr fusionar las últimas placas , debido a las distancias uniformes logradas entre las placas de material oliefinico y las producidas por el exceso de micro fibras de bajo denier se genera un espacio de muy baja densidad de materia y esto impide que la energía penetre hasta la base primaria o substrato que da la estabilidad dimensional de la alfombra .By the insertion of a very low denier fiber nap between the primary substrate of a tufting fabric and the threads that are woven in order to create what will be the vehicle of mechanical support of the threads inserted between this nappa and the base or substrate primary, the insertion of a very low denier olympic fibers per filament (DPF) layer produces a change in densities that prevents the flow of melting temperatures within the primary base product of the carpet which allows the oliefinic sheets applied in the back of the same and exposed to the action of high and low wave infrared rays are brought to their melting point without affecting the dimensional stability of the primary substrate of the carpet or the fibers of the face thereof. When they are exposed and reach their melting point, they have a time of microseconds before they affect the substrate, melting part of the surface of the DPF low-speed sheet at the time of transformation of the solid plates to melt or melt this is being gradual because the plates are separated and exposed individually and their fusion goes from outside to inside plate by plate which allows to have the first two plates completely melted and the third or subsequent ones are in a lower degree of fusion which gives time to remove infrared applications and concentrated energy It continues working until the last plates are fused, due to the uniform distances achieved between the plates of oliefinic material and those produced by the excess of micro fibers of low denier a space of very low density of matter is generated and this prevents the energy from penetrating to the primary base or substrate that gives the dimensional stability of the carpet.
Con fundamento en lo anterior y una vez fundidas completamente la primera lamina de material olefinico al retirarse la exposición de los rayos infrarrojos y quedar atrapada la energía esta sigue fundiendo la capa subsecuente y en ese intervalo da tiempo para en operación dual de insertar una capa mas de polímero espumado que sera el aislante de la alfombra y a la vez bajar el herramental de presión y moldeo o dado frío macho a fin de que este a una presión superior a las 150 PSI actúe presionando y coaccionando el desplazamiento de la masa fundida de las capas primarias , impulsando su contacto con la napa de fibras de bajo denier y estas por tener bajo denier son sujetas a una fusión inmediata al absorber la energía calorífica de la masa en fusión esto simultáneamente atrapa a las fibras de superior denier de los hilos de la alfombra haciendo un sellado inmediato de los mismo lo que se conoce como sellado del nudo, esta acción se controla mediante el tiempo de exposición de los rayos infrarrojos y la cantidad de energía calorífica desplazada en las capas de material oliefinico al mismo tiempo esta acción es controlada por el acción soldificadora de termoplástico oliefinico proveniente de el enfriamiento que emite el polímero espumado y el herramental frío, quien detiene la acción de fusión de las placas y de las fibras tanto de la napa como de las partes integrantes de la alfombra de por si ya protegida en sus hilos y base primaria o fibras solamente en caso de alfombras de origen punzonado o no tejido al choque de temperaturas las placas oliefinicas o de poliester se solidifican de nuevo tomando las formas que en su cara tiene el herramental frío y presión hembra macho, la acción de fusión se termina e inicia la acción de endurecimiento por el choque de temperaturas como ya lo dijimos. Al enfriarse el termoplástico por su naturaleza misma de ser termomoldeable toma las formas de los altos y bajos relieves del herramental según el modelo del piso del vehículo al cual esta destinada.Based on the foregoing and once the first sheet of olefinic material has completely melted when the exposure of the infrared rays is withdrawn and the energy is trapped, the subsequent layer continues to melt and in that interval gives time for a dual operation to insert one more layer. of foamed polymer that will be the insulation of the carpet and at the same time lower the pressure and molding tool or cold male so that it is at a pressure greater than 150 PSI act by pressing and coercing the displacement of the melt of the layers primary, boosting its contact with the nap of low denier fibers and these having low denier are subject to an immediate fusion by absorbing the heat energy of the melting mass this simultaneously traps the fibers of superior denier of the threads of the carpet making an immediate sealing of them what is known as knot sealing, this action is controlled by the exposure time of the infrared rays and the amount of heat energy displaced in the layers of oliefinic material at the same time this action is controlled by the welding action of oliefinic thermoplastic coming from the cooling emitted by the foamed polymer and the cold tooling, which stops the action of fusion of the plates and fibers of both the nappa and the integral parts of the carpet in case already protected in its threads and primary base or fibers only in case of carpets of punched or non-woven origin to the temperature shock the plates oliefinic or polyester solidify again taking the forms that the cold tool and male female pressure has on its face, the fusion action is terminated and the hardening action begins due to the temperature shock as we have already said. When the thermoplastic cools by its The very nature of being thermoformable takes the forms of the high and low reliefs of the tooling according to the model of the floor of the vehicle to which it is intended.
En virtud de la exposición de toda la masa de la alfombra termomoldeable de una sola resina 100% de diferentes presentaciones de material uno que conforma la cara del producto y es con presencia de abuyonada alfombra otro que conforma el sustrato de la alfombra y en el caso de alfombra tejida tiene presencia de un sustrato a base de tiras tejidas de polipropieleno u oliefinicas o de poliéster según el caso pero con el común denominador de que si son oliefinicas todas sus partes serán oliefinicas o si son de poliéster todas sus partes serán de poliéster, otra presentación una napas superpuesta entre los hilos insertados siendo esta napa producida con fibras recicladas de bajo denier y por último la presentación en laminas, las laminas de material polimerico 100% de bajo grosor toda esta masa en conjunto, esta como ya lo dijimos expuesta a la acción de los rayos infrarrojos para lograr la fusión de parte de la misma sin dañar o alterar las otras partes en diferentes presentaciones, para lograr lo anterior se utiliza un difusor de energía en la superficie de la alfombra este difusor de energía es agua simple que absorbe la energía calorífica infrarroja sobrante del proceso y permite que el producto cara tejida del tapete acepte la alta presión superior a las 150 PS1 del dado herramientas sin sufrir colapsación alguna o tomar formas o alteraciones en su presencia textura o imagen, siendo la única variación que sufre la voluminización de la cara textil la alfombra que al aplicarle el agua y la energía calorífica sobrante del proceso, el agua al descomponerse por la energía desarrolla un vapor que viene a voluminizar el textil dando una apariencia muy benéfica al producto final. El agua por su naturaleza misma forma vapor a los 100° grados centígrados y protege al textil olefinico que tiene su punto de fusión y de termofijado textil arriba de los 130° grados centígrados el agua no deja residuales al evaporase por completo ni causa manchas en el textil abuyonado olefinico de la cara del producto. Si el caso así lo requiere se puede aplicar al mismo tiempo de agua una substancia repelente a manchas y polvo que ayude al valor agregado y uso del producto.By virtue of the exposure of the entire mass of the thermoformable carpet of a single resin 100% of different presentations of material one that conforms the face of the product and is with the presence of abuyonada carpet another that forms the substrate of the carpet and in the case woven carpet has a substrate based on woven strips of polypropylene or oliefinic or polyester depending on the case but with the common denominator that if they are oliefinic all parts will be oliefinic or if they are polyester all parts will be polyester, Another presentation is a layer superimposed between the inserted threads being this napa produced with recycled fibers of low denier and finally the presentation in sheets, sheets of 100% low thickness polymeric material all this mass together, as we said exposed to the action of infrared rays to achieve the fusion of part of it without damaging or altering the other parts in different present In order to achieve the above, an energy diffuser is used on the surface of the carpet. This energy diffuser is simple water that absorbs the infrared heat energy left over from the process and allows the woven face product of the mat to accept the high pressure higher than the 150 PS1 of the given tools without suffering any collapse or taking forms or alterations in their presence texture or image, the only variation that the volumization of the textile face undergoes the carpet that when applying the water and the heat energy left over from the process, the water When decomposing by energy develops a vapor that comes to volumize the textile giving a very beneficial appearance to the final product. Water by its very nature forms steam at 100 degrees Celsius and protects the olefinic textile that has its melting point and textile heat setting above 130 degrees Celsius, the water does not leave residuals when it evaporates completely or causes stains on the Olefinic boned textile on the face of the product. If the case so it is necessary to apply at the same time water a substance that repels stains and dust that helps the added value and use of the product.
