Soil Resistance

Apples to Apples

Antron® provides soil resistance and soil release superior to all competitive fibers.

The following test results demonstrate the superiority of Antron® Legacy versus competitive carpet of nylon when subjected to foot traffic in a busy school environment. The carpets shown are of equivalent construction and were maintained with daily vacuuming.

Comparison

Actual floor performance proves the superior soil resistance of Antron® Legacy nylon.

A photomicrograph shows the impact of fiber engineering on soil resistance. The unique fiber shape exclusive to Antron® nylon has less area for soil to get trapped.

This carpet is made with a mill-extruded type 6 nylon with a trilobal fiber shape. Although the grooves do not appear deep, dry soil is deposited in the grooves and is trapped. The square, hollow filament shape of Antron® nylon has only a small amount of surface area. The smooth outside with rounded corners means there are no grooves to collect and trap soil. The internal voids, which run the entire length of the fiber, scatter light to make soil less visible.

Noticeable soil remains on the trilobal fiber after vacuuming. Only minimal soil remains on the Antron® nylon after vacuuming.
