A. Solution Dyed Carpet
Used exclusively to add colour in synthetic fabrics such as nylon, polyester and acrylic by means of a dye solution. The pigment or dye is mixed with a liquid polymer and added to the fabric before it is made into a carpet.
As a result of this process, solution dyed carpeting is more bleach resistant than surface dyed carpeting. Always read the instructions carefully when using bleach-based cleaning solutions and be sure to dilute the bleach as specified by the instructions before applying it to your carpet.
B. Surface Dyed Carpet
A surface dyed carpet, also referred to as piece dyed or yarn dyed, applies colour to the surface of the carpet after the carpet has been woven. Piece dyed carpet offers a wide selection of colours and designs but is not considered as eco-friendly due to the additives and chemicals required.
