Nylon Fiber

J+J Flooring offers two types of nylon – type 6 and type 6,6. We manufacture our products in a range of fibers to meet your project’s aesthetic, durability, environmental and special needs requirements. There has been much debate regarding the superiority of one nylon chemistry versus the other. Our position is that no slight deviation in a single physical property (e.g. melt temperature or hardness) of these chemistries translate to on floor performance. There are many variables that dictate on-the-floor performance that are better indicators (e.g. density, pile type, tuft bind, and more) than merely nylon type. Nylon, in general, makes an exceptional commercial carpet fiber.

The first step in building a better commercial carpet is using a superior nylon. We were one of the first mills to extrude our own nylon, starting in 1991. By extruding our own nylon, branded Encore® SD Ultima®, we are able to control the color, quality, and appearance retention of our carpet products. Encore SD Ultima provides the customer a 25% post-consumer recycled content in the fiber.

The 100% Post-industrial (Pre-consumer) recycled content incorporated into Encore 100 nylon provides a reduced environmental impact without compromising quality or color clarity.

Kinetex Fiber

J+J Flooring’s Kinetex is produced with 100% polyester fiber. Our fiber is 100% solution-dyed, providing rich long lasting color with superior stain resistance and color fastness to ultraviolet light and aggressive cleaning methods. This continuous filament fiber system also delivers superior wear performance, soil resistance, anti-abrasion and extended new flooring appearance.

PET Fiber

J+J Flooring breaks this paradigm with TeraPlex SD. Produced by the world’s most advanced carpet fiber extrusion process, TeraPlex SD is an advanced generation continuous filament PET fiber engineered for today’s commercial flooring needs. It was created by leading polymer scientists and utilizes the most advanced PET resin to create carpet fiber with vibrant color, superior fade-resistance, and long-term performance.
