Duracolor Tricor builds upon a fiber already trusted to perform in demanding environments. With its modified-delta shape and triangular hollow core, next-generation Duracolor Tricor delivers enhancements that provide unsurpassed stain resistance, colorfastness, durability, color clarity and enhanced soil performance. Duracolor set the standard for commercial carpet fiber when it was introduced in 1992 and has since been used in more than 175 million square yards of installations worldwide.
Inspired by bridges, trusses and their triangular support systems that deliver the ultimate in load-bearing performance, Mohawk’s engineers integrated the same principles to create a fiber with tremendous strength for enhanced durability. Its shape improves resilience and reduces surface wear of carpet, while also optimizing color clarity. Mohawk’s patented Duracolor process for permanent built-in stain resistance repels the most common causes of staining, up to 96 percent of which can be cleaned with just water.
Duracolor Tricor is Declare Red List-free, includes recycled content, and is recyclable through Mohawk’s ReCover Program. With most stains easily addressed with water, Duracolor Tricor helps reduce the need for harsh cleaning chemicals. Its extended life cycle also helps to minimize its environmental impact.
