Olefin Carpet Fibers Can Handle Humidity & Moisture Like No Other...
So There's No Reason To Sweat If the Carpet Gets Wet!
Olefin or Polypropylene
DEFINITION: Fiber-forming substance of any long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85%, by weight, of ethylene, propylene, or other olefin units. Offered primarily as BCF with some staple product available. Primarily sold as solution-dyed or pre-dyed fiber. Can be engineered for outdoor applications.
Certain areas of your home may require more strategic planning when it comes to floor coverings. Basements, rec rooms, and screened-in patios typically endure more wet, damp conditions than other rooms and face greater activity from pets.
The greatest strength of Olefin carpet fibers is in fact, well, strength. It doesn't make a bit of difference whether the carpet is exposed to wet or dry conditions, the fibers remain strong and equally resilient in either setting.
In addition to low moisture absorption properties, Olefin is stain, mildew, abrasion, chemical and sunlight resistant. While these carpet fibers may not represent the largest selection of colors, they do boast an extremely impressive colorfastness that will last for years.
We wish we could offer you more products with the resistant abilities of Olefin like your favorite shirt or the seats in your car for starters.
We'll get started on those developments for you and until then, at least you can protect something with a larger surface area- like your home!
