Description
[DuPont] A registered trademark for a strong, lightweight Nylon fiber with a unique four-hole hollow design. Antron was introduced in 1960. The bulked continuous filament fiber provide an exterior grooveless design that cleans readily. Additionally, the four holes diffuse light, reducing discolorant due to soil. The fiber is advertised as durable, resilient, soil-resistant and readily dyed. Antron is used for upholstery, draperies, and carpets. The carpet fibers are often treated with a DuraTech fluorochemical application for added soil resistance.
