Abstract

A process for forming a bonded pile fabric of enhanced stability using low levels of adhesive is provided. In the process pile forming yarn is tacked by heat fusion an open weave base layer prior to the application of adhesive. The adhesive which is preferably a low viscosity latex is applied through an open weave base layer to further bond the pile. An apparatus for making the bonded pile fabric is also provided.
