Tufted material having a laminated film primary tufting substrate

摘要

A tufted material is disclosed having a primary tufting substrate made up of layers of molecularly oriented film. The layers are laminated together in a generally undisturbed condition so that at least two layers have directions of molecular orientation that are perpendicular. The layers are molecularly oriented to the point of splitting parallel to the direction of said molecular orientation under the tufting needles, allowing the needles to penetrate easily, securing the tufts in place, and resulting in good tuft registration.
