Duracolor Tricor Fiber

PERMANENT STAIN PROTECTION

Duracolor Tricor by Mohawk Group delivers unsurpassed stain resistance, colorfastness, durability, color clarity, and enhanced soil performance. Utilizing our patented process for permanent built-in stain resistance, up to 96% of the most common stain-causing substances can be easily cleaned with just water, saving facilities both time and money.

Stain Resistance - Duracolor Tricor

Stain Resistance

To combat carpet staining—often regarded as the biggest challenge in maintaining commercial spaces—Duracolor Tricor utilizes the patented Duracolor process for permanent built-in stain resistance that won’t wash or wear off. Up to 96% of the most common stain-causing substances can be easily cleaned with just water, saving facilities time and money. Duracolor Tricor’s stain resistance also translates to less frequent replacement, for additional lifecycle savings.

HOW IT WORKS

Duracolor Tricor - Nylon Fiber Attracting Stains

Duracolor Tricor fiber utilizes negatively charged polymers. The negative charge of the polymer ensures that the fiber, through its inherent characteristics, will repel negatively charged substances. The fiber never allows the common stain makers to bond, so the carpet actively resists the stain.

Duracolor Tricor - Fiber Repelling Stains

The most common stains are caused by acid-based substances that carry a negative charge. Since other common nylon fibers are positively charged, the negatively charged acid-based substances are attracted to the opposite charge of the fibers and bond, creating a hard to remove stain.

Soil Resistance - Duracolor Tricor

Soil Resistance

Our advanced Duracolor Tricor fiber optimizes soil hiding, soil removal and color clarity through its unique modified-delta shape and triangular hollow core. The result is carpet with brilliant color that retains its beauty between cleanings and requires less maintenance over time, saving facilities time and money.

 

BENEFITS OF TRICOR

Duracolor Tricor - Fiber with Dirt

Our advanced Duracolor Tricor fiber technology refracts light and optimizes soil hiding, soil removal and color clarity through its unique modified-delta shape and triangular hollow core.

Duracolor Tricor - Nylon Fiber with Dirt

Most nylon fibers have a solid core, which magnifies the appearance of soil between cleanings. And fibers with the trilobal shape also create deep crevices that obscure color clarity and trap dirt.

Durability - Duracolor Tricor

Durability

Duracolor Tricor’s fiber shape and hollow core deliver an innovative carpet that resists crushing for enhanced durability and longer lifecycles. In order to improve an already strong fiber, our engineers looked to load bearing structures such as bridges and trusses and discovered the power of the triangle, a shape that delivers ultimate load bearing performance. The innovative modified delta shape of each individual Duracolor Tricor fiber provides tremendous strength for enhanced durability.

STRENGTH OF THE TRIANGLE

Duracolor Tricor - Fiber under pressure

The modified delta shape of our Duracolor Tricor fiber, paired with the offset triangular hollow core, resists crushing and improves performance. This innovation helps to produce commercial carpet with greater durability and longer lifecycles.

Duracolor Tricor - Nylon Fiber under pressure

The non-load bearing trilobal shape of more ordinary nylon carpet fibers results in three long, skinny legs that easily mat and crush under normal foot traffic. This results in carpet that wears sooner, loses pile integrity, and makes for shorter lifecycles.
