Carpet Fiber Triexta

The difficulty in making a true comparison between the two fibers lies in triexta s relative youth.

Carpet fiber triexta. So a triexta carpet will perform as well as or better than a nylon carpet of equivalent quality. Unlike other fibers on the market mohawk triexta fiber is the only carpet option with permanent built in stain resistance unlike nylon which requires topical stain treatment. Some would say that there is not enough difference between polyester and triexta to merit distinction. The primary reason for triexta s high level of stain resistance is that the fiber is hydrophobic meaning that it does not absorb moisture.

Triexta has been primarily limited to the residential market but may soon enter the commercial market. Triexta has actually been used in the clothing industry longer than it has been used in the carpet industry in the clothing industry triexta uses the tag line dry fit to reflect the non absorbent properties of the fiber. That said based on all evidence from existing carpets triexta does seem to be of equivalent durability to a same grade nylon carpet which means both are likely to be equally resistant.

Therefore triexta is a serious fiber and its characteristics and cleaning procedures can t be ignored. Nylon has been used in carpeting since the mid 1950s so it has several decades of use to support its reputation of durability. To prove its point mohawk industries let 10 large zoo animals and 43 000 zoo visitors trample on smartstrand for two weeks. The triexta carpet was totally cleaned with just hot water extraction.
