Abstract
A carpet backing, such as a primary carpet backing is a composite material comprising a woven fabric mechanically coupled to a bonded non-woven fabric. The woven fabric component may include monofilament warp yarns and monofilament fill yarns. The yarns may be woven using a plain weave. The bonded non-woven fabric component comprises synthetic fibers. The carpet backing combines the dimensional stability of non-woven fabric backings and the healability of woven fabric backings.
