The extrusion process is a critical manufacturing stage for Shaw ANSO Nylon. By melting the high-grade nylon resin and pushing it through a spinneret, engineers can control the shape and size of the fiber cross-section. This shape influences the carpet's soil-hiding capabilities and luster. Following extrusion, the fibers are heat-set to lock in the twist, which provides the carpet with its long-term resistance to crushing and its ability to maintain its appearance.
