Functions of Yuzhimu Carpet Backing Fabric

Yuzhimu Carpet backing fabric is an essential component in the construction of carpets, playing multiple crucial roles that contribute to the overall performance, durability, and functionality of the finished product.​​

Holding Tufts in Place​

During the tufting process of carpets, yarn tufts are stitched into the primary carpet backing fabric. This serves as a base cloth that securely holds the yarn in position. Without a proper backing, the tufts would easily come loose, leading to a quickly deteriorating carpet appearance. For example, in high - traffic areas like commercial hallways or living rooms in busy households, the primary backing fabric must be strong enough to withstand the continuous stress of foot traffic and keep the tufted yarns firmly in place.​

Providing Structural Stability​

The Yuzhimu backing fabric, especially the secondary backing in many carpet designs, adds significant stability to the carpet structure. It helps the carpet maintain its shape and dimensional integrity over time. In areas with fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels, such as basements or sun - exposed rooms, a stable backing fabric prevents the carpet from warping, stretching, or shrinking. This is crucial for both the aesthetic appeal of the carpet and its ability to fit properly within the installation area.​

Performance Yuzhimu backing fabrics represent a higher standard compared to standard backings. They are designed to offer more dimensional stability and strength, making them suitable for commercial environments. These backings often have features such as high tuft - bind properties, which means they can hold carpet yarns in place more effectively, reducing the risk of tufting problems. Performance backings are also resistant to zippering (a common issue where the edges of the carpet separate) and edge raveling.
