Solution-dyed – the ultimate carpet fibre
Carpets composed of solution-dyed fibres are particularly suitable for use in areas that are subject to extremely heavy soiling. The dye is already added to the fibres ineradicably during fibre production and not – as was the custom previously – applied to fibres externally by dyeing them. The quality of solution-dyed fibres can be compared to that of a candle that is dyed all the way through – in contrast to a candle that is only coloured on the outside and white inside.

Carpets from solution-dyed fibres are:
- able to withstand chlorine-based, disinfectant cleaning agents
- absolutely colourfast
- especially durable
- extremely hard-wearing
- able to disguise dirt thanks to their special fibre cross-section
- resistant to UV radiation and yellowing
- quick to recover from indentations
Where environmental protection and saving of resources is concerned, carpets made from solution-dyed fibres are also advantageous. As they are dyed during manufacture, there is no need for the otherwise usual wet-dyeing processes afterwards. This results in substantial savings in industrial and waste water. As the heating of dyeing ranges is now dispensed with, there are also considerable savings in energy consumption. ANKER-TEPPICHBODEN currently manufactures around 50% of its overall production from solution-dyed fibres.
