Synthetic fibers are man-made or artificial fibers produced from petrochemicals, which possess superior physical & chemical properties for instance durability, strength, and elasticity. The fibers are water & stain resistant and also cost-effective. The fibers have a wide variety of uses in industrial, commercial, outdoor, and indoor applications along with apparels.
The key advantages are included easy to drying, wrinkle free & require less or no ironing, more durable, light in weight and don’t shrink & lose the color. Apart from advantages, few of the disadvantages are don’t absorb sweat or moisture, not biodegradable, not good for human skin and can catch fiber easily.
