Save The Lives Of Animals By Choosing Faux Fur Throw

By George Anderson


No one wants to wake up one day and realize that their favorite coat they have been wearing for the last three years was made out of dog and cat fur. That is not only horrible to imagine, but the thought that an innocent stray animal has been killed and skinned off its fur to be used for fashion purposes. Died because you wanted a coat to wear for those cold wintry nights.

Every year there are many manufacturers that often mislabel a lot of fabrics. However know the difference between real and faux fur throw is very important if you want to prevent more animals being skinned alive for the sake of humanity. If you think about the welfare of the animals then choosing a faux is a more humane option than real.

In 1929 artificial fur was introduced in the market and has reached popularity back in the 50s. And this is due to the help of animal rights and group activist that has ushered people to choose artificial coat instead of real coat. However take note that each have their own good and bad points, but remember everything depends on your discretion where you want to use the item.

Fake fur has been around since 1929 after several major animal rights group became aware of the impact of abuse towards animals. Because this many people were challenged to use artificial instead of real since the effects of hunting down animals meant forcing animals into extinction. More over using artificial type have their own benefits and disadvantages.

But on the other hand pile fabrics are often made from chemicals that could harm the environment. Chemicals such as coal, limestone, water, petroleum, and air are often used. However pile is often composed of two important chemicals called acrylic and modacrylic and other mixture of polymers.

More over these chemicals allow the pelt to absorb dye very easily. Aside that the chemical reaction between vinyl chloride monomers and acrylonitrile make modacrylic polymers easier to absorb and blend colors. Furthermore they are able to resist fire and mildew, and cannot be easily infested by insects.

Chemicals are often used to create the faux so that dye jobs are easily made to alter the coloring of the pelt. However these chemicals may not be good to the environment and are composed of air, water, coal, limestone, and petroleum. More over other chemicals like acrylonitrile and vinyl chloride monomers are also included.

Then these mixtures in liquid form is then filtered to separate particles that have not been dissolve. And are dissolve again by adding acetone to the mixture. Then after that is towed on a conveyor belt to dry off, so once the item dries it becomes stronger. At the final stage the item goes through quality check before they are dyed. The fur is then produced through several other stages, and the material itself goes through pipes and filters to create each strand of fur. And the final stage is then heated and cycled inside a cylinder that goes both way.

So the next time you are shopping for better pelts then make sure to contrast between real and fake. Therefore it is important that you spend the time to shop around and feel the pelt with your hand. Because fake pelt feel rough, coarse, and sticky. Hence you can easily tell whether the coat is created out of animal or not.
