by Ann Withanee — June 20, 2012—Universal Fibers has developed a “revolutionary” carpet fiber called revolve, which was displayed during NeoCon 2012 at The Merchandise Mart in Chicago. Universal Fibers received a Gold Award in the Best of NeoCon product competition. NeoCon traditionally draws upwards of 40,000 professional facilities executives and designer/specifiers.
As a multiple polymer manufacturer, Universal Fibers offers Nylon 6, Nylon 6,6, polyester, and hybrid blends. This allows Universal to create an unlimited line of products for the demanding institutional and commercial facilities markets.
The revolve carpet fiber offers performance benefits associated with solution-dyed nylon. Among its many additional attributes, points out Universal, are superior colorfastness and fade resistance, light face weight advantages, and reliable color uniformity, which ensures precision side-match and lot-to-lot consistency.
Available for use in broadloom and modular carpet tile, revolve achieves “natural styling objectives” by providing subtle features of organic striated movement throughout the carpet. The color offering is supported by Universal Color, considered best in class by industry leaders, notes Universal Fibers. As with all EarthSmart products from Universal Fibers, revolve requires zero water in the dye process, offers mergeable capability, and is available with recycled content. revolve is 100 percent solution dyed and available in both Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6.
