Nylon 6 vs. Nylon 6,6
There are two types of nylon used in carpeting: type 6 and type 6,6 (so-named for the double strands of carbon atoms it contains). While both are nylon, their molecular structure is different from one another. There has been much debate in the industry whether one type is preferable to the other. Many hail type 6,6 as the best option, due to its increased colorfastness and resistance to static. However, improvements have been made to type 6 to address these issues, and in today’s market, the differences between the two types are very minimal.
Years of testing have determined that there is no overall difference in durability or resiliency between nylon 6 and nylon 6,6. While nylon 6,6 does have a higher melting point than nylon 6, that is of little consequence to the performance of the carpet on the floor.
One additional point to consider regarding the differences between the two types of nylon is that nylon 6 is more easily recyclable back into carpet (known as cradle to cradle recycling) than is nylon 6,6.
