Duracolor Tricor
Next Generation Carpet Fiber
Duracolor Tricor Premium Nylon Carpet Fiber
In keeping with our commitment to Believe in Better, Mohawk Group introduces Duracolor® Tricor. Delivering unsurpassed stain resistance, colorfastness, durability, color clarity and enhanced soil performance, Duracolor Tricor builds upon the trusted Duracolor promise with over 100 million yards installed since 1992.
Common Nylon
The most common stains are caused by acid-based substances that carry a negative charge. Since most fibers are positively charged, the negatively charged acid-based substances are attracted to the opposite charge of the fibers and bond, creating a stain.
Duracolor Tricor
Duracolor Tricor fiber utilizes negatively charged polymers. The negative charge of the polymer ensures that the fiber, through its inherent characteristics, will repel negatively charged substances. The fiber never allows the common stain makers to bond, so the carpet resists the stain.
Common Nylon
Most nylon fibers have a solid core, which magnifies the appearance of soil between cleanings. And fibers with the trilobal shape also create deep crevices that obscure color clarity and trap dirt.
Duracolor Tricor
Duracolor Tricor fiber utilizes negatively charged polymers. The negative charge of the polymer ensures that the fiber, through its inherent characteristics, will repel negatively charged substances. The fiber never allows the common stain makers to bond, so the carpet resists the stain.
Common Nylon
The non-load bearing trilobal shape of more ordinary nylon carpet fibers results in three long, skinny legs that easily mat and crush under normal foot traffic. This results in carpet that wears sooner and makes for shorter lifecycles.
Duracolor Tricor
Improving the industry’s leading nylon was no small task. The modified delta shape of our Duracolor Tricor fiber, paired with the offset triangular hollow core, resists crushing and improves performance. This innovation helps to produce commercial carpet with greater durability and longer lifecycles.
