Some Benefits Of Using A Faux Fur Blanket

By Scott Walker


A faux fur can also be referred to as fun or fake fur. The materials used are synthetic fibers which resembles it. These are often used in clothing. Productions of these are made in 1929 and its popularity now began rising, most especially when it was credited since it helped the promotion of animal rights and also for organizations of animal welfare. These organizations are considering the products as animal friendly because these were used as an alternative for clothing in original fur.

Faux furs are used not only for clothing but also for stuffed animals, fashion accessories, and some home decorations like pillows, bedding, faux fur blanket, and throws. Other uses of these include making projects and that is why it may be done using a sewing machine. The original wool is thicker when compared to a fake one, thus, it may need a special machine or it may be sewed by hand as well.

Recently, this became increasingly popular in fashion designing. Examples of these fashion are winter clothes such as trapper hats and also jackets. There are many famous designers now who have started on promoting their fake fur collections.

These became more and more popular for fashion designers, thus, they continue to utilize this so that they make incorporations to their newest collections. Modern technologies have become very useful through providing more qualities and techniques in making the product look more original. Fashion designers today look forward on having this as one of their future collections.

The two most common factors that has more likely affected the usage of this material are color and volume. Not like real furs, the color and the volume may be controlled by just choosing and combining the shades. The materials are durable and have environmental attack resistance.

Fake furs were made in many variety of materials and this includes polymers. The most common polymers used are modacrylics and acrylics, and some other polymer blends. Acrylic polymers are chemicals coming from air, coal, petroleum, water, and limestone. Secondary monomers are also added for improving the absorption of dyes into the acrylic fibers. Modacrylic polymers are made from monomers such as vinyl chloride and acrylonitrile.

Both modacrylics and acrylics are very useful when manufacturing because they are light weight and springy. They are also resistant to soot, heat, sunlight, and smoke. They also are resistant to mildews and are also susceptible from any insect attacks. These materials can dry quickly because it is less absorbent.

Silk, wool, and mohair materials help the improvement of the appearance of garment. Cotton or wool, and also polypropylene are materials that may be used for the backing. In imitating true designs, the designers match colors to original furs.

Aside from those benefits and advantages above, there are other benefits. It includes not using animals as a material, is sewn easily, and no more preservations for deterioration prevention. But it also has disadvantages including no insulation for the skin, used are polymer materials, and may not keep on re freezing snow.
