A lightweight carpet product includes a greige carpet having a primary backing and tufted fibers, a secondary backing including a nonwoven textile of synthetic fibers, and a thermoplastic adhesive composition adhered to the greige carpet and the secondary backing. The thermoplastic adhesive composition includes a modified polyethylene terephthalate (PET) having a crystallinity less than unmodified PET and a melting point from about 90° C. to about 150° C., and a particulate filler. Methods of manufacture include using a thermoplastic adhesive composition to adhere a greige carpet to a secondary backing to form a lightweight carpet product. |
