Nylon 66 Yarn & Nylon Rugs
Today we delve into the extraordinary tale of 66 nylon yarn, sourced from the United States, and its crucial role in the creation of some of the most stunning and durable rugs.
Nylon is a material that has stood the test of time and remains a symbol of durability and quality. For the creation of our rugs, we use the 66 nylon yarn, custom dyed to order.
Nylon 66, also known as polyamide 66, is a synthetic polymer renowned for its exceptional strength and durability. It was first developed in the United States during the 1930s and has since become a cornerstone in the textile industry. The "66" in its name refers to the number of carbon atoms in its repeating unit, which contributes to its remarkable toughness.
Why Choose Nylon 66 for Rugs?
Durability: One of the key reasons why nylon 66 is favored in rug production is its remarkable resilience. It can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it an ideal choice for rugs in high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, and entryways. The fibers maintain their shape and color, ensuring your rug looks as good as new for years to come.
Stain Resistance: Nylon 66 has a natural resistance to stains and spills, making it a practical choice for households with children or pets. Most spills can be easily cleaned without leaving a lasting mark, ensuring your rug stays beautiful and vibrant.
Easy Maintenance: Nylon 66 rugs are relatively low-maintenance. Regular vacuuming and occasional spot cleaning are usually all that's needed to keep them looking their best.
