Tactesse Vibrant and Tactesse Natural are two new lusters developed by DuPont to complement its original Tactesse fiber for Stainmaster carpet.
Tactesse Classic, introduced in 2000, is a medium-level luster fiber designed for residential applications. Vibrant, a high-level luster, and Natural, a low-level luster, were created to provide additional styling flexibility for consumers. Tactesse fibers used in DuPont Stainmaster carpet are finer than conventional carpet fibers, the company says, and can flex and slide past each other more easily to give the carpet a “gentle and luxurious touch.”
