Ethos Modular styles are made with a nylon wear layer and ethos recycled content backing with Omnicoat Technology™. The product wear layer is composed of either nylon 6, recycled content nylon 6 or nylon 6,6 which is solution dyed, yarn dyed or a combination of solution and yarn dyed. The ethos® secondary backing is produced from recycled polyvinyl butyral (PVB) film recovered from automotive and safety glass recycling. Omnicoat Technology™ provides a high performance barrier system which protects the product from preexisting adhesives and excessive moisture. The ethos Modular product group was assessed for styles produced with virgin yarn and those produced with Aquafil ECONYL® recycled nylon 6 yarn. An average face weight of 18.1 ounces per square yard (osy) was utilized with the maximum (30 osy) and minimum (10 osy) yarn weights assessed for sensitivity. Unless otherwise noted, data is presented for an average product with 18.1 osy yarn weight. All styles in the Powerbond and modular ethos product lines are Cradle to Cradle Certified™ v3.1 at the Silver level. Additionally, the products are certified at the Platinum level to the ANSI/NSF 140 Sustainability Assessment for Carpet standard and are fully recyclable in Tarkett’s Restart® reclaimation program for flooring.
