April 29, 2005—INVISTA, the manufacturer of Antron carpet fiber, has launched its new patented technology, Antron with StainResist, which, according to the company, will keep Antron carpets looking newer longer by making it easier to clean stains commonly found in interior commercial environments.
Common stains such as coffee, soft drinks, and wine easily clean up using water, says INVISTA, and for more stubborn stains, it suggests hot water extraction and mild detergent. This “new level of stain resistance” is recommended for the healthcare, corporate, education, and hospitality of segments where stains such as coffee, fruit juice, soft drinks, wine, cough syrup, and chloraseptics are common.
INVISTA explains that combined with the superior type 6.6 nylon polymer, unique fiber engineering, and DuraTech soil resistance, StainResist improves the long-term appearance retention of carpet. All carpet styles of Antron with StainResist are tested against the Antron Performance Standards Program, the highest fiber performance standards for carpet durability.
Antron with StainResist shares the same sustainability message as other members of the Antron family of brands. Antron carpet fiber, the first carpet fiber to receive Environmentally Preferable Product certification by Scientific Certification System, is also the first to receive re-certification, says INVISTA.
