Post consumer recycled Nylon and fibreglass is sold to foam manufacturers. Our loop pile tiles contain a minimum of 37% post consumer recycled content. Our cut pile tiles contain a minimum of 25% post consumer recycled content.

Not all nylons are born equal Their cross-section can look like this…..”trilobals” Nylon and Tile Technology How does Nylon’s shape affect performance?

The profile of Nylon yarn can have a significant affect on carpet performance. Nylon fibre’s shape can vary enormously. Nylon and Tile Technology How does Nylon’s shape affect performance?

A thinner trilobal shape means: –A larger surface area to stain. –A much higher propensity to stain. –Larger “air pockets” to trap dirt. –The carpet is harder to clean –The lobes break, causing fraying and poor appearance retention. Nylon and Tile Technology How does Nylon’s shape affect performance?

Why are different yarn structures used? –Cost – Yarn is paid for by weight and not by volume. –For a better “feel”, a yarn full of air pockets feels a lot softer to the touch and may appear to be more desirable…. –Until you walk on it!!! Nylon and Tile Technology How does Nylon’s shape affect performance?

Ontera only utilises Nylon yarn with a denser trilobal shape : Nylon and Tile Technology How does Nylon’s shape affect performance?

There are two types of Nylon available, Type 6.6 and Type 6. Type 6.6 Nylon is: –Denser. –Harder to stain. –Will wear better over time. –Holds its appearance longer. Ontera only uses Type 6,6 Nylon. Nylon and Tile Technology Nylon Type 6.6 versus Type 6
