A process for tuft and filament bonding of unfinished carpet includes applying
a coating composition which contains from 50% to 100% by weight of a substantially
amorphous poly--olefin as a melt to the backside of a carpet material so
as to obtain a coating weight of from 20 to 1,500 g/m2, the melt viscosity
of the coating composition at 190 C. is in the range from 400 mPas to 10,000 mPas.
