Disclosed is a carpet having a base fabric, pile yarns tufted to the base fabric and a backing layer covering a back surface of the base fabric. The light resistance of the dyed carpet and the anti-deteriorative properties of the pile yarns can be improved by covering portions of the pile yarns which extend into the backing layer with a resinous material containing finely divided carbon black.
A carpet composite is provided having improved static electricity characteristics which comprises: a surface layer comprised of face yarn, said face yarn being embedded into a backing layer of thermoplastic resin material into which has been incorporated a mixture of carbon black and carbon fibers in an amount sufficient to improve the static electricity characteristics of said carpet composite.
