Dupont and Mohawk Triexta Carpet Fibers – A Class of Their Own
Mohawk and DuPont’s innovative triexta carpet fibers have recently been granted their own subclass by the Federal Trade Commission, which distinguishes them from other polyester carpet fibers. While triexta carpet fibers have a similar chemical structure to polyester carpet fibers, triexta is extremely different. Standard polyester carpet fibers work great for some applications, though polyester is considered to be a “value fiber” and would not be right for someone looking for a top of the line carpet. Triexta on the other hand is incredibly soft and durable carpet fiber. Triexta also has built-in stain protection that, no matter how many times you steam clean your carpets, cannot be washed off. This means that spills, which would stain most other polyester carpets, will clean easier, making triexta carpet kid friendly and pet friendly. In addition, triexta carpet fibers dry quickly and are mold and mildew resistant, making carpets made with triexta a more allergy friendly floor covering option then most carpets.
You can find these high performance triexta carpet fibers in Mohawk’s SmartStrand carpets and SmartStrand with DuPont Sorona renewable sourced polymer. These innovative carpets are available in countless colors from bold vivid colors to calming neutral colors, and everything in between.
