Acrylic carpet
Machine-made carpets can be produced with different fibers, but the newest product on the market is acrylic fibers, which are of higher quality and excellence than other materials available. Acrylic is made from a polymer that is very similar to natural wool, which makes this fiber a great choice for machine-made carpets. Note that currently the highest quality carpets available in the machine-made carpet market are acrylic carpets that are highly resistant to sunlight, abrasion, and chemicals.
Advantages of Acrylic Carpet
Among the properties of acrylic yarn are its high dyeability and the ability to be washed without changing its color. About 50 years ago, acrylic fibers entered the global market and in the past 20 years, these fibers entered the Iranian market. These fibers are known as artificial wool among textile and knitting experts and have been replacing natural fibers for years. The most important feature of this product is its high similarity to silk yarn. The advantages of these durable fibers include the following.
- Lower price than handmade carpets
- High resistance to sunlight and abrasion
- Easy to wash
- Resistant to heat
- Types of acrylic carpets
Acrylic carpets can be classified based on density, reed and yarn type. The grouping of these carpets based on reed is as follows:
- 700 reed acrylic carpet with a density of 2550
- 1200 reed acrylic carpet with a density of 3600
- 1500 reed acrylic carpet with a density of 4500
Heat-set acrylic carpet
The meaning of heat-set acrylic carpet is that the yarns improve some of their properties during the heat-set process, in other words, acrylic yarns make the carpet more resistant to heat. It also reduces the amount of pilling in the carpet and significantly increases the lifespan of the carpet. To heat set the fibers, the yarns are first spun and then fixed with heat, which increases their durability compared to other fibers.
With the advancement of weaving machines and the high speed of the machines for weaving carpets, there is a need for yarns that have high resistance so that they are less likely to tear during the weaving process. Of course, the quality of the yarn and their non-tearing is more important in high-density carpets because a lot of time is spent troubleshooting and fixing the problem caused to the carpet. Note that carpets whose yarns experience the heat set process will eliminate sensitivity and allergies.
The benefits of heat setting acrylic yarns include:
- Better dyeability of fibers
- More resistance to heat
- More uniformity and better carpet
- Increased softness of the carpet
