New Improved DuPont™ Teflon®
Advanced Carpet Protector
Assurance of long-lasting protection with extra repellency
Teflon® Advanced is a new, improved carpet
protector that provides superior repellency and outstanding soil
protection for all types of residential carpet. Teflon® helps
carpets stay cleaner, brighter, newer and fresher through all kinds of
daily wear! Creates a unique invisible shield around carpet fibers.
Teflon® Advanced carpet protector provides more
repellency than other leading carpet protectors, along with outstanding
soil protection. This means your customers can be assured of cleaner
carpets longer, and that means more satisfied customers for you.
The improved, advanced repellency of Teflon®
Advanced carpet protector provides extra time to clean up spills,
minimizes wicking and the spreading of stains. Teflon®
Advanced is more resistant to oil-based and water-based stains than ever,
thanks to its higher repellency. And it creates a unique invisible shield
around carpet fibers, keeping dirt from sticking to fibers.
Dirt and stains cling to untreated carpet and quickly
become embedded in the fibers. Teflon® Advanced creates a
powerful invisible shield around the carpet’s fibers to keep dirt from
lodging within the carpet. The same technology that keeps foods from
sticking to pots and pans prevents dirt and grime from sticking to the
carpet.
For the consumer, keeping her carpet looking like new is
now easier than ever. A professional cleaning will brighten and freshen
her carpet, but every time someone walks into her house, they track in
dirt. Once dirt gets into her carpet, it gets ground in deeper with every
step. Now add the effects of spills, stains and crumbs that get trapped in
her carpet. That’s why she needs to protect her freshly cleaned carpet
with Teflon® Advanced carpet protector.
DuPont recommends the application of Teflon®
Advanced after each cleaning on all carpet types, even those with built-in
soil and stain protection. Reinforces stain-blocking qualities of
stain-resist nylon fibers.
For added protection and increased peace of mind, Teflon®
Advanced carpet protector is CFC- and solvent-free. It leaves no
unpleasant odor.
Does Cleaning Remove the Teflon® Protector?
Some Teflon® Advanced carpet protector is removed
from the fiber from heavy traffic or aggressive cleaning. Some product may
also be removed by strong cleaning agents and chemicals. Check with your
supplier to determine which cleaning agents you may need to avoid. It is
generally recommended to re-apply Teflon® Advanced each time
the carpet is cleaned.
What is the difference between the mill applied and after
market products?
The mill applied products are formulated for drying in the
high temperature ovens found in carpet mills, while the home applied
products are formulated to dry at ambient temperatures. Because the mill
applied products are “baked on”, they are typically more durable,
depending upon the product. However, Teflon® Advanced has good
durability and provides valuable protection against soil and stains.
How often should protectors be applied?
Since the biggest enemy of the protectors is abrasion from
traffic, and traffic varies with each situation, the general
recommendation for re-application is after each cleaning. The same
conditions that led to the need for cleaning probably have led to the need
to refresh the carpet protection.
How are carpet warranties affected?
Carpet mills recommend reapplication of Protector to maintain
their warranties. Shaw
Industries' R2X™ brand carpet warranty is voided is by
"treatment after installation by any product other than DuPont Teflon®
or 3M's Scotchgard™...".
DuPont™ recommends the application of Teflon®
Advanced after each cleaning on all carpet types, even those with built-in
soil and stain protection. Reinforces stain-blocking qualities of
stain-resist nylon fibers, such as Stainmaster®.
Why apply Teflon® Advanced?
First, because DuPont™ Teflon® Advanced
Carpet Protector provides a valuable service for your customers - it keeps
the carpet looking good longer. From a business perspective, Teflon®
Advanced will improve customer satisfaction increase profitability on the
job. Two very important reasons!
Can Teflon® Advanced be applied to upholstery?
Yes, Teflon® Advanced also works on
upholstery that is not subject to water damage as is silk and other more
exotic fabrics. Teflon® Advanced is suitable to protect
upholstery made from most cotton, nylon, polyester, and blends of these
fibers. But if water damage is a possibility or a concern, do not apply
the product.
How does Teflon® Advanced compare
to 3M's Scotchgard™?
Will Teflon® Advanced work on Olefin
(polypropylene) fibers?
Yes, tests prove that the new Teflon®
Advanced even works on olefin!
Stains won’t stick to Teflon® Advanced
Teflon® Advanced delivers its protection by
forming a molecular shield around each carpet fiber. The shield lowers the
surface energy of the carpet fibers causing them to repel liquid spills
and dust and dirt. This helps prevent dirt and stains from being ground
into or absorbed by the fibers.
Undetectable by sight, smell or touch, Teflon®
protects all kinds of carpets. The repellent characteristic of Teflon®
keeps dirt from sticking to the fibers, making carpets easier to care for.
This helps carpets look cleaner and fresher longer.
