Benefits

6,6 Degrees of Separation

Superior Polymer Substrate - Type 6,6 Nylon

Key Benefits: Superior resistance to liquid stains; outstanding pile height retention; unsurpassed resistance to matting, crushing and abrasive wear.

We invented nylon and chose type 6,6 because of its superior characteristics. Type 6,6 nylon has a tighter molecular structure than type 6 nylon due to a higher level of hydrogen bonding and maximum alignment between molecular chains. This tighter structure makes it tougher for stains to penetrate and increases resistance to crushing and matting. Type 6 nylon does not have this level of internal bonding, resulting in a more open structure.
