DuraTech® attaches to the chemical structure of the fiber after being heated during the finishing step to protect the carpet from soiling... |
| ...A petrochemical-based fiber invented in 1938 by DuPont. There are two basic types of nylon: Type 6,6 nylon and Type 6 nylon. Nylon is produced in bulked continuous filament for use in loop carpets and cut pile carpets; and staple nylon which is spun into yarn for use in cut pile carpets. Nylon is the dominant fiber choice for commercial use due to its wear characteristics... |
| ...Made from one base ingredient: caprolactam. Compared to Type 6,6 nylon, Type 6 nylon accepts dye at a faster rate. The more open molecular structure of Type 6 nylon allows dye stuffs (and stains) in more readily. Common spills and stains such as coffee, soda, foodstuffs and medicine will stain Type 6 nylon more readily than Type 6,6, whether solution dyed or conventionally dyed... |
| ...Made with two base chemical ingredients: adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine. Type 6,6 nylon has a tighter molecular structure, making it harder, more resilient and more resistant to stains than Type 6 nylon. In the U.S., where the highest commercial carpet standards are set, over 60% of all nylon carpets installed are Type 6,6 nylon... |
| ...d for molded items, sheets, films and fibers. Made from a by-product of gasoline refining, olefin has one ingredient: propylene. Since propylene is widely available at a comparatively lower cost than nylon base ingredients, olefin is less expensive than nylon. Olefin does not accept aqueous-based dyes or stains. Color is added in the manufacturing process in the form of pigment. Printable modifica... |

Carpet: Carpet is generally less durable than other types of floor coverings, particularly in high-traffic areas. However, certain types of carpet, like nylon and wool, are more durable than others.
In conclusion, the durability of a floor covering is a critical factor to consider when choosing a flooring material. It is essential to e... |

Teflon® is an integral part of the Antron® Excel fibre system and is available only on carpets of Antron® Excel nylon and Antron® Excel SC solution dyed nylon. Only Teflon® is durable enough to withstand heavy traffic and multiple cleanings... |

Carpets come in a variety of materials including wool, nylon, olefin and polyester.
There are different types of carpet like twists, which is commonly referred to as a berber. Twist carpeting is composed of multiple twisted fibers set into the car... |
| ...ile floor covering typically consisting of an upper layer of pile attached to a backing. The pile was traditionally made from wool, but since the 20th century, synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, nylon or polyester are often used, as these fibers are less expensive than wool. The pile usually consists of twisted tufts that are typically heat-treated to maintain their structure. The term carpet... |
| ...han the cheaper polyethylene, is used to produce carpet yarns because it is still less expensive than the other materials used for carpets. It is difficult to dye and does not wear as well as wool or nylon.
Polypropylene, sometimes referred to simply as "olefin", is commonly used to construct berber carpets. Large looped olefin berber carpets are usually only suited for light domestic use... |
| ...Wool carpet has excellent durability, can be dyed easily and is fairly abundant. When blended with synthetic fibres such as nylon the durability of wool is increased. Blended wool yarns are extensively used in production of modern carpet, with the most common blend being 80% wool to 20% synthetic fibre, giving rise to the term "80/20". Wool is relatively expensive and consequently it only compr... |
| ...ny types of carpet rose in the early 2000s, polyester became more competitive.
Polyester has good physical properties and is inherently stain-resistant because it is hydrophobic, and, unlike nylon, does not have dye sites. Colour is infused in a molten state (solution dyeing). Polyester has the disadvantage that it tends to crush or mat down easily. It is typically used in mid- to low-pri... |
| ...Due to nylon's excellent wear-resistance, it is widely used in carpeting. However, nylon is stained by certain natural and artificial food colorants; these include coffee, mustard, wine and soft drinks.
While fluorochemical coatings are effective in protecting carpet from substances such as soil, they offer little protection from some types of acid stains. A number of methods were devel... |

Carpet Carpet is a classic choice for bedroom flooring, largely due to its softness and warmth. It's available in a variety of colors, textures, and materials, from nylon to wool, allowing you to tailor it to your desired aesthetic. Plus, carpet can dampen noise, helping to create a quiet, peaceful environment. However, it can be difficult to clean and might not ... |
