You wanted me to wait for you to try and figure-out about the thread, this is not good news--1-2-3-4.
Are you still testing?

The topic has gone astray..
That new system is not the answer... Thermoplastic is not the answer if I hear the installers correctly...

Sealing seams has nothing to do with tuft bind.
It is the backing !!

The backing is what holds the tuft bind in place. The backing is sealed, to keep the tuft bind at the edge of the carpet, otherwise, there would be no tuft bind to hold the edge row of carpet.
When we cut the edge row, in most cases, the edge row has almost no tuft bind in cases, with little in others and yet, some after being cut, hold all their tuft bind.

Jim,
Your posts confuse me.
Edge raveling due to lack of sealer is one thing.. Tuft bind another.
along seam edges, the yarn comes out of the edge of the seam, not the top of the backing.

Ray, the fillers have created the need for installers to seal the edges in some carpets. If some carpets are not sealed, they usually won't have very much tuft bind at the seams Ray.
How many jobs have you inspected in carpet, where the seams are losing tufts or berbers losing their rows, right at the seams?

Wilton fillers are filling yarns , usually of cotton, jute or Kraft cord, running across the fabric and used with the chain yarns to bind the tufts to the backing yarns.
There different constructions. Parry you did not know that?
