The quality of a plain tufted machine rug depends largely on the characteristics of the fibers from which it is made. The ideal carpet fiber should have the following physical and chemical properties:

· whiteness or near whiteness

· easy to dye but resistant to light, water and shampoo

· sufficient strength

· good wear resistance

· good resilience and compression resistance

· dirt resistant and easy to clean

· not affected by dry cleaning solvents

· flame retardant and not affected by the expected heat during use

· it is not easy to get wet. If it is wet, it does not need to be dried for a long time

· feel warm

· insect proof or easy to prevent insects

· low relative density and good coverage per unit mass of fiber

· moisture regain is relatively high, but not low enough to cause static electricity when walking

· resist atmospheric influences and the effects of light.

The main fibers used in modern commercial carpet manufacturing are wool, nylon, acrylic, polypropylene and polyester. These fibers show the above characteristics to varying degrees. Due to the consistency of man-made fiber supply, price stability, quality consistency and the durability they give to carpets, more than 80% of carpets today use man-made fiber.
