Carpet Fibers
With over 60 years of experience, Nylene has developed specialty nylon grades for the carpet fiber industry with a proven history of success. Once a manufacturer of premium carpet yarns ourselves, we understand our customer’s need for durable, attractive, and environmental responsible carpet yarn products.
Nylene’s nylon 6 carpet fiber grades were designed specifically to meet these requirements.
Dyable Cationic Nylon 6 Polymers for Carpet Fibers
Our product line consists of multiple-dye-level nylon 6 polymers for the production of Bulk Continuous Filament (BCF) and Solution Dyed (SDN) carpet fibers. We also offer nylon with recycled content to meet the specification requirements of high-performance, sustainable buildings.
Why Nylon 6 for Fiber Applications?
Fibers made with Nylon 6 are durable, soft, and hold color very well, which means they can be dyed in a wide variety of vibrant colors and will retain these colors after long use and some degree of sun exposure.
Nylon 6 fibers resists abrasion better than almost any other carpet fiber, and it cleans easily— due to the inherent stain resistance of the polymer and additional stain blocker treatments that can be applied after dyeing and cleanings.
Among the nylon family, Nylon 6 has the most favorable environmental footprint, as it is less expensive to produce and easier to recycle then Nylon 6,6.
Nylon 6 Characteristics
- Superior appearance retention due to high resilience
- Excellent resistance to wear, crushing and matting due to high tenacity and abrasion resistance
- Excellent dirt resistance
- Easy to clean and maintain
- Unlimited styling capability and color versatility
- Easy to dye with low energy in beautiful colors
- Low production energy
- 100% recyclable
