Breakthrough science from DuPont has revolutionized residential carpet offerings. With DuPont™ Sorona® used in broadloom carpets, area rugs, bath mats and door mats, homeowners and interior designers can choose a soft solution that is more care-free and more caring of our environment.
Softness That Lasts
The unique structure of Sorona® makes carpet invitingly soft, yet definitely durable. It has good hand feel, so people will feel comfortable at home, whether walking or resting their bare feet.
Residential carpet made with Sorona® resist matting because the high molecular weight and quality of Sorona® provides fiber uniformity during extrusion. This creates softer, more crush-resistant fibers that retain their shape and texture—step after step, year after year.
Built-In Stain-Resistance Keeps Carpets Looking New
Household spills and stains such as ketchup and red wine will never penetrate residential carpet made with Sorona®. With permanent, natural stain protection that won't wash or wear off like topically applied stain treatments can, Sorona® keeps carpet looking like new for years to come.

With rich colors and printability that allows for beautiful, customized details, Sorona® offers unlimited design possibilities. It is compatible with a variety of fiber and carpet dyeing techniques, including solution dyeing, space dyeing and yarn dyeing. This flexibility allows mills and manufacturers to offer residential carpet options that fit with any home design aesthetic.
