Frequently Asked Question about Carpet Backing Adhesive

How can latex alternatives improve the processability of carpet backing?

With current latex solutions, the current process (that requires a drying process) takes space (additional lines for drying step), is energy consuming, and there is a high risk of downtime (i.e., nozzle clogging) and risks of burns. Bostik offers many alternatives to latex that improve productivity and workability and reduce costs.

What solutions does Bostik offer to enable the recycling of carpets? 

Bostik enables recycling the whole carpet with mono-materials by achieving good compatibility with commonly used polyester carpet materials. Our Hot Melt Polyester and Polyamide solutions make the entire carpet easy to process at the end of its life or enable de-bonding at the end of carpet life to separate the component for recycling.
