As part of Shaw Industries, we're proud of our heritage of innovation and
achievement. This innovative spirit has pioneered many new advances and technologies
for the floor covering industry. By developing new technologies, we can create
carpet fibers with never-before-seen performance. And this translates directly
to you, the consumer, with a range of carpet fiber solutions that have the
durability, comfort and styling flexibility your home needs.
CrossBond® Fiber Technology
Patented CrossBond fiber technology creates a resilient network of bond points
through each carpet tuft, producing enhanced resistance to crushing and “tip
bloom” or untwisting. CrossBond fiber technology is found in all Anso
CrushResister® and Anso Caress® nylon staple fabrics.
Soft Hand™ Performance Technology
The soft feel of carpet made with Anso Caress nylon is achieved by using individual
fiber filaments that are up to 50% smaller than conventional carpet fiber.
As a result, there are twice as many filaments to provide the tough resistance
to wear expected with nylon carpet.
Enhanced Body™ with Infusion Technology
Enhanced Body nylon is manufactured using infusion technology, a proprietary
process that produces BCFE (Bulk Continuous Filament) yarn of superior volume
and consistent quality. This results in a better carpet “hand,” or
feel, plus uniform colorations. Enhanced Body is only found in Anso nylon
products that have been created with the budget conscious consumer in mind.
R2x® Stain & Soil Repellent System
Exclusive to Shaw Industries, R2X application yields total fiber coverage.
This technology is the first of its kind. The yarn is treated top to bottom—not
just the surface—so any absorption from the base is minimized. You
won’t find a better carpet stain repellant on the market.
