SmartStrand fibers are readily dyeable, with as many as three different dyeing processes available for the product. The fiber is also inherently soft, with a good hand and very good tactile, according to Mohawk.
SmartStrand fiber can be used in standard textures, friezes, berber flecks, high-twist styles and other carpet constructions. A collection utilizing the fiber, called New Generation, as well as exclusive lines in Mohawk Floorscapes and ColorCenter stores, will be available in the second quarter of 2005, Mohawk says.
