In the carpet manufacturing industry, the quality of the primary backing material plays a decisive role in tufting efficiency, dimensional stability, and the overall durability of the finished product. Bicomponent spunbond nonwoven fabrics have become one of the preferred backing materials because they combine excellent mechanical strength with outstanding process stability. Designed with continuous filaments and thermally bonded structures, these fabrics provide reliable performance throughout carpet production while meeting the requirements of various carpet applications.
A complete product range is available to satisfy different manufacturing needs. The fabric weights cover 70 g/m², 90 g/m², 100 g/m², 110 g/m², 120 g/m², and 150 g/m², corresponding to models ATLBack-70C, ATLBack-90C, ATLBack-100C, ATLBack-110C, ATLBack-120C, and ATLBack-150C. This wide selection enables carpet manufacturers to choose the most suitable backing according to carpet construction, pile density, and performance requirements.
Mechanical strength increases steadily with fabric weight. The 70 g/m² grade offers a tensile strength of approximately 160 N, making it suitable for lightweight carpet applications. The 90 g/m² version reaches 220 N, while the 100 g/m² product provides 240 N. For applications requiring enhanced stability during tufting, the 110 g/m² fabric delivers 275 N, and the 120 g/m² grade achieves 290 N. The heaviest specification, 150 g/m², provides an impressive tensile strength of 350 N, offering excellent resistance to deformation and outstanding durability for demanding commercial or automotive carpet applications.
Another important characteristic is the controlled elongation at break. The lighter products from 70 g/m² to 110 g/m² maintain an elongation of approximately 25%, allowing sufficient flexibility while preserving dimensional stability. As fabric weight increases, elongation is slightly reduced to 23% for the 120 g/m² grade and 22% for the 150 g/m² specification. This balanced design helps minimize distortion during tufting, coating, lamination, and subsequent processing, ensuring consistent product quality.
For production flexibility, the fabric is available in both gray and black colors, allowing manufacturers to match different carpet designs and backing systems. In addition, the material can be supplied in widths of up to 4.6 meters, significantly reducing material waste and minimizing the number of seams during large-scale carpet production. The extra-wide format is particularly beneficial for broadloom carpets, automotive carpets, exhibition carpets, and industrial flooring applications.
The combination of optimized basis weight, high tensile strength, controlled elongation, and wide-width production makes bicomponent nonwoven fabric an ideal solution for modern carpet manufacturing. Whether producing lightweight residential carpets or heavy-duty commercial flooring, manufacturers can select the appropriate specification to achieve excellent tuft lock, dimensional stability, processing efficiency, and long-term performance.
With grades ranging from 70–150 g/m², tensile strengths from 160 N to 350 N, elongation values between 22% and 25%, dual color options, and a maximum width of 4.6 meters, this bicomponent nonwoven backing fabric provides a comprehensive solution for today's high-performance carpet industry. Its consistent quality, excellent mechanical properties, and reliable processing characteristics make it an ideal choice for manufacturers seeking both productivity and superior finished carpet performance.
