Staple/Synthetic Carpets are synthetic hand knotted carpets with a silk feel. They may be designed and patterned in the same way as a silk carpet and present the same aesthetic values. They may be finely knotted with 250 or more knots per square inch. For the purpose of
making carpets, six types of synthetic yarns may be used:
Staple / Synthetic Carpets Generally, Synthetic Fibers were invented for a better substitute, strength wise, than natural fiber or yarn. They are widely used in various applications ranging from textile, parachutes and military purpose, industries, horticulture, and carpets, etc.The augment of synthetic fibers or manmade fibers started in the late 19th century with the manufacturing of Viscose.
At first, synthetic fiber was made by scientists from naturally obtained products. Nevertheless, commercially more viable artificial threads were introduced, derived from synthetic polymers. Obtained from plant cellulose, cellulose fiber was manufactured. Gradually, with the advent of technology and scientific developments, many other types of artificial threads were introduced. Some are true derivatives of synthetic polymers while others are chemically consequential from blending both natural as well as synthetic polymers.
