Abstract
A carpet which is suitable for use in a vehicular passageway, includes a backing fabric that is woven by using the multi-filament yams for the warps and wefts. A binding resin is applied to the filaments which compose the weft. The filaments which make up the weft are partially fixed to one another through the binding resin. The warp and the weft are partially fixed through the binding resin sticking on the filament of the weft before the tufting process.
