STAINMASTER® carpet is made in Australia by Godfrey Hirst under license to INVISTA. In doing so the carpet must meet strict certification standards set by INVISTA. Only when these standards are met can a carpet be labelled a STAINMASTER® carpet.

Bulked Continuous Filament (BCF)


Continuous strands of nylon are formed into yarn. They are also texturized to increase their bulk and to change from straight into kinked or curled fibre.

Twist


Each carpet fibre is wound around itself to make the carpet pile more resilient. The tighter the twist, the more the carpet will resist crushing, matting and changes in texture.

Heat Setting


After the fibre is twisted, it is treated with heat to lock in the twist. The result: carpet fibres that won't easily unravel or crush under heavy foot traffic.

Tufting


The heat-set fibre is fed through needles and then stitched or tufted into the primary carpet backing. The density of a carpet is determined by how much yarn is used and how close the tufts are to one another.

Dyeing


The tufted carpet is saturated with liquid dye then treated with a fixation solution and dried.

The dyed carpet is now saturated with an anti-stain treatment. Then it undergoes a fixation process and is dried again. Next, INVISTA's exclusive soiling resistance technology is applied. The result is carpet that has the long lasting ability to repel dirt and resist stains.






Carpet Grading



The ACCS (Australian Carpet Classification Scheme) is a voluntary industry labelling and grading scheme for carpet. The ACCS has been designed to provide buyers of carpet (both residential and commercial) with easy to understand information on carpet quality and performance, including environmental performance criteria.
