Jute Carpet Backing Cloth
Woven jute carpet backing cloth for carpet production.
Application: Primary or secondary backing, according to the selected construction.
Supply Form: Rolls for production-line processing.
Grade Selection: Match GSM, usable width, weave, and finish to your carpet requirements.
Bonding: Check compatibility with your adhesive and curing process.
Custom Dimensions: Submit required sizes for confirmation.
Bulk Enquiries: Share your specifications, quantity, and destination for a quotation.
Jute carpet backing cloth, also called CBC, is a woven jute fabric used in carpet manufacture. Depending on its construction, it serves as a primary backing for tufting or a secondary backing bonded to the underside of the carpet. These roles require different fabric specifications, so the intended use should be stated before selecting a grade.
For bulk purchasing, compare fabric weight, usable width, weave consistency, and roll length. The backing must suit your machinery, adhesive system, and finished carpet requirements. Approve the selected fabric through a production trial before placing a repeat order.

Primary and Secondary Jute Carpet Backing
Primary and secondary backing perform different jobs within a carpet. Select the fabric according to its position in the assembly rather than using the same grade for both applications.
Primary Carpet Backing
Primary backing is the base fabric through which the pile yarn is tufted. Its construction must allow the tufting process while maintaining the required fabric alignment and yarn placement.
Specify the tufting equipment, needle gauge, and production requirements when discussing a primary backing grade. A cloth selected for secondary backing should not automatically be used as a tufting base.
Secondary Carpet Backing
Secondary backing is bonded to the back of the carpet after tufting. The selected cloth must work with the primary backing, adhesive, and coating process.
Check adhesive penetration, bonding, and dimensional behaviour through a trial using your actual production materials.
Choosing Fabric Weight, Width and Roll Length
The reference grades above share a 183 GSM weight and 750-metre roll length, with three different widths. Width selection should follow your carpet dimensions, machine clearance, and trimming requirements.
Fabric Weight
GSM measures fabric weight per square metre. It does not establish tensile strength, elongation, or bond strength.
For technical approval, assess the required performance separately. Two fabrics with the same GSM can differ in yarn construction and weave density.
Usable Width
Confirm the usable fabric width rather than relying only on the nominal roll width. Allow for edge trimming and the margins required by your equipment.
A wider roll can accommodate a wider carpet, but it also requires suitable handling, storage, and machine capacity.
Roll Length
Use the 750-metre reference length when comparing the listed grades. Confirm maximum roll diameter, core dimensions, and handling limits before agreeing the final packing.
Long rolls reduce changeovers only when the roll size suits the production line.
Weave and Adhesive Compatibility
Carpet backing selection requires more than a weight and width comparison. Yarn spacing, fabric alignment, and surface finish affect how the cloth behaves during processing.
Before approval, check:
- Consistent warp and weft spacing.
- Broken yarns, missing picks, or visible defects.
- Bow, skew, and alignment during feeding.
- Adhesive penetration and coverage.
- Bonding after the required curing process.
- Dimensional changes in the finished carpet.
Where strength or elongation matters, agree the required values, test directions, and test methods. Keep these requirements in the written order specification.
Sample Approval Before Bulk Ordering
Approve a sample against the intended carpet construction. Retain the approved fabric alongside the specification so repeat deliveries can be compared against the same reference.
Record the backing role, GSM, usable width, weave construction, finish, and roll requirements. For bonded applications, retain the trial results for the complete carpet assembly.
Any fire, acoustic, or thermal performance claim should relate to tested material or the finished carpet system.
Roll Packing and Storage
Agree core dimensions, protective wrapping, roll identification, and maximum roll weight before shipment. Labels should identify the grade, width, length, and batch.
Store carpet backing cloth in a dry, covered area away from damp floors and condensation. Protect rolls from crushing and handling that distorts the fabric before processing.
Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet Backing Cloth
These answers cover common specification and purchasing questions. Final selection should match your machinery and approved carpet construction.
What is jute carpet backing cloth used for?
Jute carpet backing cloth is used as primary or secondary backing in suitable carpet constructions. The required fabric depends on whether it will receive tufted yarn or be bonded underneath the carpet.
What widths are listed for carpet backing cloth?
The commercial reference grades shown here are 380 cm, 415 cm, and 515 cm wide. Confirm the required usable width and tolerance for your order.
What is the weight of the listed reference grades?
All three listed grades are 183 GSM. This describes fabric weight, not a strength or durability rating.
Is carpet backing cloth the same as ordinary hessian?
Both are woven jute fabrics, but ordinary hessian should not be assumed to meet carpet backing requirements. Compare construction, width, alignment, and processing performance before substitution.
Can jute backing cloth be used with carpet adhesive?
Suitable grades can be bonded using a compatible adhesive system. Confirm the result through a trial with your actual backing, adhesive, coating weight, and curing conditions.
