Colour Dye
Amtico Carpet is constructed with high performance Type 6,6 nylon that can be space or solution dyed. Amtico choose space dyed yarns where multiple colour is applied to one yarn. These are joined by solution dyed yarns that are incredibly fade resistant, as their colour is extruded during production.
Stain and Fade Resistance
All of Amtico carpet tiles feature XGuard stain resistant technology, ensuring they stay looking better for longer, to offer ease of maintenance and reduce the overall cost of ownership. ColorSafe is also applied as a proprietary bleach resistant technology which resists colour fade from bleach spills and splashes.
