The quality and material of the fibers used in the carpet<\/strong><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The amount of fluff depends on the quality and the type of fibers used in carpet production. Among Iranian machine-made carpets, the acrylic carpets are of high quality. This kind of carpet is well known because of its durability; but fluffing is one of its disadvantages . Acrylic carpet fluffing is limited to the first few weeks; and if you still see fluff after a few months, it is maybe due to poor fibers quality in carpet production.\r\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important point:\u00a0<\/strong>Recently, a process called heat-set is used in producing acrylic yarns by which solves the problem of fluffing the acrylic machine made carpet.\u00a0 Most of the carpets in the market are like this kind.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carpet spinning machine has not been adjusted<\/strong><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Special devices are used in the production of machine made carpet yarns. If these machines are not adjusted or if there is an inaccuracy in the process of yarn production, finally the carpet will be fluffed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inappropriate temperature and sizing<\/strong><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Carpet pile yarn with different grades and different fibers are used in carpets, this itself is the factor of changing the quality of the carpet.\u00a0 For high durability and no fluffing, a process called heat-set is needed. The heat and steam have effect on the inner texture of the spun yarn. If the carpet sizing process is not done correctly, the fibers that have not been affected by the resin will cause carpet fluffing. Of course this problem has been solved in modern machines.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Density and number of carpet reeds <\/strong><\/p><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The number of reeds and the density of the carpet are important factors in carpet fluffing. The density and the number of reeds of a carpet has an inverse relationship with the level of carpet fluffing.\u00a0 In other words, the higher the density and the number of carpet reeds, the lower the amount of fluff and vice versa.\u00a0 For example, in 1200 reeds carpets, the amount of fluff is much less than in 700 or 1000 reeds carpets;\u00a0 And likewise, in 700 reeds carpet, the fluff is less than 500 reeds carpet, of course, the yarn quality and other things also have an effect.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
