ANTRON LUMENA


CARPET FIBRE REVEALS NEW COLOURS


INVISTA Antron carpet fibre has revealed 21 new colours in its solution- dyed Lumena yarn, delivering additions to its Standards, Accents and Glimmer palettes.


With colours such as onyx, tamarind, artichoke, satsuma orange, pomegranate and bluewood, the new colours benefit from ongoing involvement in trend forecasting, giving manufacturers a formidable choice of colour-fast and stain-resistant yarns to create beautiful carpets.


Offering exceptional performance across varied commercial environments, Antron Lumena is now available in 230 colours in 1385dtex, with 45 TruBlend and six glimmer options, and in 140 colour in 994dtex including 13 glimmer options to give maximum creative scope while remaining easy to maintain and hardwearing.


The cross-section and hollow fibre technology of Antron Lumena enables improved soil release as well as soil hiding capability, ensuring that carpets made from the fibre retain their appearance. The solution-dyed high- strength polyamide 6.6 yarn also resists fading from light and cleaning, making it an ideal choice for commercial spaces.


Along with colours featuring as part of the Global Trend Forecast 2015/16, these new additions ensure that Antron carpet fibre can provide manufacturers with yarns that are in tune with the latest interior trends in commercial interiors.
