Rebond
Mohawk bonded carpet cushion is made from post-industrial urethane foam trim. After foam is fabricated for uses such as bedding, furniture, automotive seating and headliners, packaging, and hundreds of other applications, the trim is sent to our bonded facilities.
Our bonded carpet cushion is made from approximately 90% post-industrial
recycled material. The only “non-recycled” ingredient that we use is a urethane prepolymer that binds the trim particles together.
At our facilities, we have sophisticated equipment that converts this trim into a uniform, high quality carpet cushion. If this bonding process did not exist, approximately 1 billion pounds of foam trim would be shipped to landfills each year.
All Mohawk’s bonded products are tested in accordance with the
Carpet and Rug Institute’s Indoor Air Quality Program. The Green Label is your assurance that this product meets the established guidelines for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). Mohawk’s cushions contain no formaldehyde.
Synthetic
As part of our overall corporate waste reduction and conservation program, Mohawk has developed a process for producing quality synthetic fiber pad from our fiber and carpet manufacturing waste. These wastes are generated during normal manufacturing steps and were originally thrown away creating additional waste.
Our process was specifically designed to recover these waste materials and to transform them into quality pad using a set of proprietary processes that work the fibers into a dense fiber pad that provides ideal cushioning effect for
carpet.
The pad is made from 100% post-industrial recycled synthetic fibers and does not contain adhesives. It does not contain any butylatedhydroxytoluene (BHT) due to being manufactured wholly of synthetic fibers. The synthetic fibers are mechanically bonded and the face is thermally sealed to aid installation.
All Mohawk’s synthetic
fiber products are tested in accordance with the
Carpet and Rug Institute’s Indoor Air Quality Program. The Green Label is your assurance that this product meets the established guidelines for emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC’s). Mohawk’s cushions contain no formaldehyde.
