R2X
®
represents a breakthrough in soil and stain resistance
technology. Most stain and soil resistance systems are topically
applied and provide adequate protection only around the
surface of the carpet – spills which soak in are absorbed from
the base of the yarn and cause stains, an occurrence known as
“wicking.” Patented and exclusive to Shaw carpets, the R2X
system produces total ber coverage, protection from the top
to the bottom of the yarn – spills which reach the base of the
yarn tufts do not penetrate and wick back to the top.
The total ber coverage of the R2X system offers
unprecedented protection against household spills and everyday
soiling. Testing has demonstrated that R2X stain resistance is
superior on two levels: rst, it provides better initial protection,
and, second, it allows more time to react to a problem.
Another signicant benet of R2X is its long-term effectiveness.
The effectiveness of many stain and soil resistance systems is
diminished by cleaning, a reason most professional cleaners
promote an additional on-site treatment. R2X, however,
continues to perform well even after repeated cleanings,
because the R2X treatment permanently alters the bers to
produce enduring protection to repel liquids and soil.
In 2001, following years of
extensive research and testing,
Shaw introduced a revolutionary
stain and soil resistance system
that has become the standard of
excellence in the industry. There
is simply no better stain and soil
treatment than Shaw’s patented
process. R2X
®
is as much of an
innovation today as were the
rst treatments introduced in
years past.
The superior repellency of R2X keeps liquid stains on the
face of the carpet where they can be easily removed. Stains
do not wick back up to the surface after initial cleaning.
