Carpet is one of the seven elements of soft furnishings, and the material is also of great significance to the carpet.
Choosing the right material for a rug can not only make it look more sophisticated, but also feel great to the touch.
Carpets are classified according to fiber, mainly divided into three types: natural fiber, chemical fiber and blended fiber.
Today I would like to share with you chemical fibers. Commonly used chemical fibers include nylon, polypropylene, polyester, acrylic and other materials. Chemical fibers are made of natural polymer compounds or synthetic polymer compounds as raw materials. After preparation of spinning solution, spinning and finishing Fibers with textile properties obtained through processing and other processes. In the past, few people agreed that chemical fiber materials are better than natural fibers. Due to the promotion and use of chemical fiber carpets in recent years, one is that the price is relatively lower, and they are more durable and easier to care for. Therefore, this is also the reason why chemical fiber carpets are becoming more and more popular. More and more reasons. I believe that in the future, as the popularity of chemical fiber carpets increases, chemical fiber carpets will also have great room for growth.
Nylon carpet
Nylon carpet is a new type of carpet that uses nylon as raw material and is machine-processed. Nylon carpets have good dust resistance and at the same time give the carpet surface a plump and attractive appearance, making it look like new. It has high anti-fouling ability, making the carpet surface brighter and easier to clean.
Advantages: wear-resistant, anti-corrosion and anti-mildew, dense feel, strong stain resistance.
Disadvantages: easily deformed.
Polypropylene carpet
Polypropylene carpet is a carpet woven from polypropylene. Polypropylene is a fiber synthesized from polypropylene and has good crystallinity and strength. Moreover, the long-chain macromolecules of polypropylene materials have good flexibility, good wear resistance and elasticity.
Advantages: The fabric has high strength, good thermal stability, corrosion resistance and good moisture absorption.
Disadvantages: low fire protection level and shrinkage.
Polyester carpet
Polyester carpet, also known as PET polyester carpet, is a carpet woven from polyester yarn. Polyester yarn is a kind of synthetic fiber and is an artificial fiber made of various materials and often treated with special processes. .
Advantages: acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, mold-proof, insect-proof, easy to clean, tear-resistant, and not easily deformed.
Disadvantages: difficult to dye, poor hygroscopicity, easy to stick to dust, and easy to generate static electricity.
Acrylic carpet
Acrylic fiber usually refers to a synthetic fiber made by wet spinning or dry spinning using a copolymer of more than 85% acrylonitrile and the second and third monomers.
Advantages: Not easy to shed hair, easy to dry, no wrinkles, not easy to fade.
Disadvantages: Easy to stick to dust, easy to pill, and difficult to clean.
Blended carpet
Blending is to add a certain proportion of chemical fibers to pure wool fibers to improve their performance. There are many varieties of blended carpets, often blended with pure wool fibers and various synthetic fibers, and woven with wool and synthetic fibers such as nylon, nylon, etc.
Advantages: Not easy to corrode, not easy to mildew, wear-resistant, and insect-resistant.
Disadvantages: The pattern, color, texture and feel are different from pure wool carpets.
