Abstract

Tufted or woven article having a unitary backing is prepared by applying to the underside of a tufted or woven textile article, a polyurethane-forming composition comprising PA0 (A) a relatively high molecular weight polyether polyol; PA0 (B) a relatively low molecular weight polyol; PA0 (C) an organic polyisocyanate or polyisothiocyanate; PA0 (D) an inorganic filler component. The present invention describes a carpet comprising (I) a primary backing; (II) a yarn tufted or woven through said primary backing thereby creating a yarn bundle on the underside of the resultant tufted or woven textile article and (III) a polyurethane composition applied to the underside thereby encapsulating the yarn bundles and adhering the yarn bundles to the primary backing; said polyurethane composition comprising the catalyzed reaction product of the composition described above.
