This type of polypropylene can be finished in many different ways to mimic more expensive natural fibres—from soft and shiny silk (Anastasia) to a matte, rugged Berber wool (Morocco). The fibre is heat set. This refers to a stage in the yarn production process whereby two or more yarn fibres are twisted together and then heated to ensure the yarns remain joined, permitting greater design flexibility and appearance. This fibre creates the easiest care rug option around; being stain and spill resistant, non shed, easy to clean and perfect for all spaces. Heat Set Polypropylene is water proof, and is used in outdoor rugs as both the pile and the backing.
