Carpet scrap containing mixtures of polyesters and/or polyamides and polyolefins are compatiblized with ultralow density polyethylene (ULDPE) to make homogeneous thermoplastic blends having useful properties.

Recycling of carpet scrap and compositions employing ultralow density polyethylene (ULDPE)

A grommet assembly for providing a location for a fastener to attach a cover member to a support structure includes first and second flange members. The flange members are sonically weldable to each other and are adapted to sandwich the cover member therebetween. Each of the flange members defines a passageway portion and has a recess portion. At least one of the flange members has a plurality of protrusions. The first and second flange members, upon being sonically welded together, cooperate to define a passageway with the passageway portions, and further cooperate to define a recess with the recess portion. The passageway is adapted to receive the fastener, and the recess is adapted to receive the cover member. The protrusions extend into the passageway and are engageable with the fastener.
