Abstract
The invention pertains to a method for manufacturing a textile product comprising providing a first sheet having a front surface and a back surface, covering the back surface of the sheet with a porous layer having a porosity of 50% to 99%, the layer comprising a thermoplastic material, forming a pile on the front surface of first sheet by stitching one or more yarns through the first sheet, the one or more yarns having a free end that forms the said pile and a locked end that extends into the porous layer, thereby forming an intermediate product, processing the intermediate product by feeding this product along a body having a heated surface, the porous layer being pressed against the said heated surface, to melt at least a fraction of the thermoplastic material, cooling the molten fraction of the thermoplastic, thereby connecting the locked end of the one or more yarns to the first sheet, and optionally connecting a second sheet to the processed intermediate product, using an adhesive applied between the processed surface of the intermediate product and the second sheet. The invention also pertains to a primary backing for use in this method and to a method for manufacturing this primary backing.
