Acrylic yarn is actually a type of fiber that has similar properties to cotton yarn. The yarn has a high resistance to the environmental factors such as light and indirect heat and the color stability in this type of yarn is much higher than others such as polyester and polypropylene. The carpets weave with acrylic yarn have more vivid colors and will not have the effect of pile flattening and hardening in the long run.

The advantages of acrylic yarn

The advantages of acrylic yarns are outlined as follows:

* The machine-made carpet with acrylic yarn is softer and finer than other yarns such as polyester.

* If we touch the surface of the acrylic carpet, the yarns pass in the form of grains and are not spun together.

* Acrylic yarn has a very high traffic resistance (reversibility) and returns to its original state.

* Acrylic carpet is light and transparent in terms of color, but polyester carpets are glossy and the colors look a little different when you look at the carpet from different angles.

* Acrylic carpet does not smell of petroleum products or plastic.

* Acrylic carpets have good resistance to heat, while polyester carpets are not resistant to heat and their fibers are lost.

It should be noted that the two important properties of reversibility and thermal insulation that exist in acrylic yarn are not found in any of the yarns, including polyester, at the same time. On the other hand, the carpets weave with polyester yarn do not have fuzz, but the yarns will be compacted over time and the color of the carpet will become dull.

When buying machine-made carpets, care must be taken to the fact that the carpets weave with polyester yarn have lower quality than acrylic carpets, and the price of polyester carpets is less than 100% acrylic carpets. It should also be noted that the carpets weave with acrylic yarn have some fuzz, and the fuzzing is greatly reduced with the acrylic yarn heat-setting process.
