Summary of Advantages
Type 6,6 is superior:
· Colorfastness
to light and atmospheric contaminates
· Resilience
· Stain resistance
· Flammability (Radiant Panel)
· Pile height retention |
Because:
Harder for ozone to penetrate fiber
Recovers faster
Harder for stains to penetrate
Higher melt point
Faster recovery to compression
|
Structure Details
Type 6,6 has a tighter molecular structure than type 6.
Higher level of hydrogen bonding
Maximum alignment between molecular chains
Type 6 does not have the internal bonding, which results in a more open structure.
Type 6,6 with its tighter molecular structure, delivers:
Superior resistance to liquid stains
Better color fastness properties when subjected to atmospheric fumes
Resilience Details
Type 6,6 is 20% more resilient than type 6, which means it has a higher level of recovery
When subjected to 24 hours of compression at 100M PSI
Type 6,6 has a 100% rate of recovery
Type 6 has an 80% rate of recovery
Higher level of resilience for type 6,6 enables it to
Minimize crushing and matting
Maximize pile height retention
Hardness Details
Type 6,6 is 12% harder than type 6
Reduced soil impingement on the fiber surface
Superior resistance to abrasive wear
Type 6,6 Details
Generally has a higher level of crystallinity
Requires more heat to begin molecular diffusion
Is more resilient
A more tightly bonded structure, high recovery and greater hardness than nylon type 6
