 | Styling flexibility
There are extra tough commercial environments where carpets
must survive a daily round of heavy traffic, spills and stains - and still
look good. It’s a challenge for designers, architects and manufacturers
alike. To meet it, DuPont developed ANTRON® Excel SC, a solution-dyed Nylon
6.6 fibre that offers the proven advantages of high-performance ANTRON®
Excel:
...”SC” stands for Super Colour. It’s DuPont’s guarantee that
colours will not change or fade, no matter how much punishment the carpet has
to take.
| ANTRON® Excel SC fibres are solution dyed: colour
is mixed into the polymer; becoming part of the fibre itself.
| This process ensures that colour is locked-in for
the life of the carpet.
| There is no risk of colour loss through harsh or
frequent cleaning.
| Colour cannot fade through prolonged exposure to
sunlight.
| Colour can be exactly matched if replacement
sections are needed, minimising refurbishment costs.
| DuPont ANTRON® Excel SC combines unmatched colour-fastness
with the outstanding wear performance and appearance-retention
characteristics that have made ANTRON®
Excel fibres first choice for over 400,000,000 square metres of carpet
installations in Europe alone.
| The hard, dense molecular structure of Nylon 6.6 and
DuPont's advanced fibre technology give carpets made from ANTRON® Excel SC
a durability and resilience ideally suited to very high traffic areas.
| The unique 4-channel
filament structure of ANTRON® Excel SC fibres is specially engineered
to provide robustness and diffuse light in a way which enhances the natural
lustre of the carpet.
| Carpets made from ANTRON® Excel SC have TEFLON®
protection against soiling and built-in stain resistance, while the design
of the individual fibres minimises the surface area to which dirt particles
can cling. It adds up to easier and quicker maintenance - with possible cost
savings of up to 30%.
| The built-in anti-microbial properties of ANTRON® Excel SC
make it particularly suitable for use in hospitals and other applications
where hygiene is important.
| Carpets made from DuPont ANTRON® Excel SC offer lifetime
static protection and can be safely used in offices with sensitive
electronic equipment (<2 kV DIN step-test). Computer room requirements
can be met by using a conductive backing.
| ANTRON® Excel SC fibres are available in a wide range of
colours, giving designers many possibilities for blending solid colour yarns
into distinctive multi-colour combinations.
| ANTRON® Excel SC fibres are suitable for use in all loop
pile, velours and twist carpet constructions, offering additional design
flexibility.
| ANTRON® Excel SC base yarns are manufactured to the
following specifications: 1360 dtex, 20 dtex per filament, semi-dull lustre,
hollow filament.
