Which is better, polyester carpet or polypropylene carpet?

Which is better, polyester carpet or polypropylene carpet?

Answer:

Polypropylene carpet features:,The advantages of light weight, wear resistance, low price, beautiful search advantages, welcomed by consumers, because of limited oxygen index of polypropylene is 18.6, the ignition temperature is 570 degrees Celsius, so PP carpet is flammable, often caused by fire or so have certain limitations.
Polyester carpet features:Strength: the strength of polyester fiber is nearly 1 times higher than that of cotton, 3 times higher than that of wool, so the polyester fabric is durable.Heat resistance: can be used at 70~170 degrees, is the best in synthetic fiber heat resistance and thermal stability.Elasticity: Polyester Elastic close to wool, wrinkle resistance over other fibers, fabric wrinkle free, good shape.Abrasion resistance: polyester is second only to nylon in abrasion resistance, and occupies second place in synthetic fiber.Water absorption: Polyester moisture regain low, good insulation performance, but because of low water absorption, friction generated by static electricity, dyeing performance is poor
Polyester carpet and PP carpet of these two kinds of carpets are chemical fiber carpets, carpet look and feel similar to wool carpets, wear-resistant and flexible, anti fouling, anti moth and other characteristics, the price is lower than the other material of carpet. Therefore, these two carpet gap is not big, each has its advantages and disadvantages, preferences vary from person to person.
