An Introduction to Green Fiber
NyconG-Plus Flyer
NyconG-Plus Material Safety Data Sheet

As a structural material, Nycon's reinforcing fibers allow products to withstand the forces of nature for decades. Now, with NyconG-Plus fibers, your products are kinder to nature than ever before. In addition to superior three-dimensional fiber reinforcement, NyconG-Plus provides an environmentally sound choice for globally responsible, truly sustainable construction.

Proven effective in countless applications, NyconG-Plus fibers are made from 100% recycled nylon from reclaimed carpet. For years little has been done with carpet waste besides throwing it away. Today, thanks to an advanced patented technology (U.S. Patent #6,971,784, other US and foreign patents pending), Nycon "harvests" carpet waste, much like an agricultural asset. Carpet once taken to landfills is now a resource for producing our proprietary, high-value reinforcing fibers. And more than just conserving landfill space, recycling carpet saves water and reduces carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming.

Along with outstanding performance properties at reduced cost, NyconG-Plus fibers provide a further incentive to "go green" : They facilitate the process of obtaining project certification by the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED Program, as well as provide tax credits to architects and owners.

"Green" is not a cliché and climate change is serious business. Everybody and everything can make a difference in the Green Revolution, and Nycon is committed to making a difference. We do this by reducing our reliance on scarce resources, extending the useful life of our reinforcing products--and now, with environmentally friendly NyconG-Plus fibers, reducing energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and landfill waste.

NyconG-Plus Physical Properties

Designed specifically for concrete reinforcement, NyconG Plus is a well-graded blend of nylon fibers (.75" to micro length) made from 100% reclaimed carpet. NyconG-Plus is NyconG but with the calcium carbonate removed. The nylon fiber from post-consumer and post-industrial carpet serve to produce NyconG-Plus' high-performance product reinforcement. Fiber color is generally a light tan and will not affect performance or the aesthetics of finished product. Production and packaging standards of NyconG-Plus fibers adhere to strict quality control measures, including random testing to insure minimal environmental impact.
