New backing technology has finally been developed and has been exposed to the masses. Probably the most extraordinary new backing system is Amoco's AdBac Composite System being exclusively used, at this point, by Globaltex Carpet Mills on four new product lines. This system is unique because it uses no latex whatsoever. It is a marriage of woven polypropylene primary, felted polyester and a woven polypropylene secondary. It is a thermobonded system which actually melds the components together into a contiguous backing material. As a result, some unique characteristics have been achieved. The backing will not delaminate since it is actually melted together. Therefore, it is the only true residential product which doesn't require seam sealing. Though this may sound sacrilegious, the technology has arrived which totally prevents the backing from delaminating, therefore there is no need to seal the cut edges of the carpet.

The product is extremely easy to work with, handle and cut. It will not damage walls when installed and it remains pliable. It can be bent, folded, rolled, curled and contorted in any way without damage to it or the surroundings. There is no need to acclimate the product because it doesn't have to relax in the installation environment. It can be frozen at well below zero temperatures without becoming stiff, so you can take it from the cold of a warehouse, to the cold of an installer's truck directly into a home and install it right away. There is virtually no worry of buckles or wrinkles developing later as the product is always inherently acclimated and will not contract or expand. In this respect the broadloom is exceptionally dimensionally stable.

has anybody seen this?
This is from Lew Mig. articles. Don't know the date of the article.
