SmartStrand® made with DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced fiber
A high performance fiber made with renewable resources
Another first in fiber technology
Exclusive to Mohawk, SmartStrand fibers produced using DuPont™ Sorona® renewably sourced polymer represent a major "first" in carpet fiber technology. This superior carpet fiber combines exceptional durability with permanent, engineered-in stain resistance - protection that will never wash off or wear off. The result is a carpet that truly is stain resistant for life. The carpet feels soft, yet is extremely strong and durable. Spills are easy to clean up with just water or a mild cleaner like Mohawk Floorcare Essentials. UV resistance is excellent. And it comes in a variety of vibrant colors and styles. Yet, for all its high performance characteristics, the most amazing thing about SmartStrand is that it's made from renewable resources.
The carpet made from renewable resources
Made with 37% renewable resources, Sorona is a significant breakthrough in polymer science. This new polymer has unparalleled stain resistance and uncompromised performance features. SmartStrand with Sorona is as easy on the environment as it is on the homeowner.
Green in more ways than one.
SmartStrand is green in more ways than one. Yes, it utilizes renewable resources that are readily available. However, because SmartStrand also outperforms and outlasts competing stain-resistant fibers, carpets made with SmartStrand don't have to be replaced as often. And that means less carpet showing up in landfills. Also, SmartStrand does not need any flurocarbon chemicals for stain and soil performance, reducing our environmental footprint associated with the manufacturing of these chemicals. That makes SmartStrand doubly smart for the environment.
