Matting
Severe pile crush and fiber/tuft entanglement.
Melting Point
The temperature at which a carpet fiber changes from a solid to a liquid.
Moderate Traffic
100 to 1,000 traffics per day. Could also include some directional and nondirectional traffic, some pivoting and little tracked-in dirt.
Modular Carpet or Tile
Also called "carpet tile." Generally 18" x 18" squares cut from 6'-wide or broadloom carpet.
Monofilament
A single filament of a synthetic fiber usually of a denier higher than 14. Monofilaments are usually spun individually instead of through a spinnerette.
Multifilament
Multiple continuous synthetic yarns that are extruded together, usually from multiple holes of a single spinnerette. Multifilament yarns are texturized to increase bulk and cover, and are called "bulked continuous filament" or BCF yarns.
Multilevel Loop Pile
A woven or tufted carpet style having some tufts that are substantially longer than others, resulting in a sculptured appearance or pattern.
