Q:What is the difference between nylon carpet and polypropylene carpet?

A:Nylon and polypropylene are both man made continuous filament extruded fibres. Polypropylene carpet is not available as a piece dye option. Polypropylene is often the lowest cost carpet as it is the easiest fibre to extrude. It is more commonly used in low profile, dense carpet constructions due to low fibre resilience which may affect performance. Nylon (Polyamide) is also man-mad and formed during the extrusion process. Nylon is available undyed or as a SDN (Solution Dyed Nylon) option providing a wider range of colours with improved stain resistance and colour fade properties. Nylon carpets have a proven history of durability and appearance retention as well as contributing to the control of excessive noise, temperature and humidity. Nylon carpets often look and feel superior to polypropylene carpets.
