Nylon Commercial Carpet Descriptions

When it comes to stain resistance, polyester comes out ahead of nylon. Polyester is a hydrophobic fiber, which means that the fiber itself repels liquid. By contrast, nylon is very absorbent, so it soaks in liquid and therefore spills.

All residential carpets on the market today feature some stain protection. Both polyester and nylon carpets are treated to help prevent spills from setting in and staining the fibers. Even though nylon on its own is less stain-resistant than polyester, nylon carpet that has been treated can be stain-resistant.

Some nylon is solution-dyed, which means that the color goes completely through the fiber instead of being just on the surface. Solution dyeing dramatically increases the stain resistance—and fade resistance—of nylon.
