Nylon: The most frequently used carpet fiber, highly
desirable due to its exceptional durability, versatility, and reasonable
pricing. It can be dyed in an endless variety of colors and made into numerous
styles and textures. Nylon is commonly used in residential and commercial
applications.
Polyester: Used in residential and a few commercial applications,
polyester has good color clarity, colorfastness, and resistance to
water-soluble stains. All of Mohawk's staple polyester yarn comes from
our state-of-the-art plastic bottle recycling facility. This "food-grade" PET
Polyester fiber might be considered to be better quality than "carpet-grade" polyester
fiber.
Polypropylene: Also known as Olefin, this fiber resists
fading, generates low levels of static electricity, is favorably
priced, and can be engineered in outdoor applications. Due to its manufacturing
process, polypropylene inherently resists stains. When used in specific
carpet constructions, this yarn will perform as well as most resilient
fibers.
Wool: The most expensive of the fibers listed here, it
is a natural fiber with moderate soil and stain resistance. Durable,
luxurious "hand",
reduced visible soil due to fine, light-scattering characteristics.
