Synthetic Fibre 

Solution dyed  Nylon (SDN) and Polypropylene fibres each have advantages, while  both are synthetic they have similar properties. SDN is a durable , strong yet flexible fibre that is colour fast and inherently stain resistant as it is appropriately treated. Polypropylene is a fatigue-resistant fibre that is colourfast and inherently stain resistant. Poly propylene is cost effective option over SDN.
