No glue, no formaldehyde❓The truth about carpet glue
⛔️Q: What are the commonly used glues for woven carpets?
✅Answer:
(1) Styrene-butadiene rubber glue.
(2) Vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer emulsion.
(3) Polyurethane glue.
(4) Oil glue.
(5) Hot melt glue.
⛔️Q: What is the main function of carpet back glue?
✅Answer: After the carpet is glued on the back, it can effectively enhance the consolidation of the flock, feel tight, and make the carpet less likely to fall apart. It also increases the strength of the carpet back, increases the weight of the entire carpet, and improves the service life of the carpet.
⛔️Q: Which carpets will use glue?
✅Answer: From the perspective of carpet production technology: glue-backed carpets (loop pile, tufted carpets) are the hardest hit by glue content. Wilton machine-made carpets and Akmin carpets also use glue. Even cheap printed carpets can hardly avoid using glue in production. Purely handmade carpets (front and back are the same) do not require glue.
1️⃣Styrene-butadiene rubber glue: Mainly used for back coating of carpets. Common carpets with various processes such as pineapple rings have a large amount of coating. When the cotton cloth on the back is torn open, a thick layer of glue can be seen.
2️⃣Polyvinyl acetate emulsion glue, also known as white latex: Mainly used for back coating of carpets. Common carpets with Wilton machine-made processes have a small amount of coating and cannot be seen by the naked eye.
3️⃣Polyurethane glue: Mainly used for bonding carpets, and is used when hand-weaving.
4️⃣Oil glue: Mainly used for the compounding of two different fabrics, common printed carpets.
5️⃣Hot melt adhesive: commonly used for tufting some hand-stitched carpets.👍
📝It is said that there is no aldehyde without glue. There is actually no unified answer to the question of whether glue is harmful to the human body.
👉Different types of glue have different effects on the human body and need to be evaluated based on actual conditions.
👉Modern people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation are inseparable from glue. For example, the content of woodworking glue in tile wall decoration is much higher than that of carpet.😅
👉During the carpet production process, manufacturers will take corresponding measures to ensure the safety of glue, such as controlling the amount used and strengthening ventilation.
❤️Consumers should also try to choose products with less glue or 0 glue to avoid the impact of glue-backed carpets on life and health. If you only look at the test report of the glue-backed carpet, it will not work, because the brand only sends a “qualified sample” for inspection. The release of the second glue is continuous, especially after the floor heating is turned on~🙏
