Synthetic fibers are cheap to manufacture - much cheaper than the long human-involved

processes of natural fiber production - and are often blended with better fabrics to bring
the price down.
Actually synthetic materials are developed to fulfil the increasing demand of Clothing in
the world
If everyone in this world start wearing only natural fibers, then imagine how costly it
would be in the absence of synthetic Fabric
As synthetic fabrics are lab- made fibers , so the Manufacturing process keeps on
improving
Synthetic fabrics are textiles made from man-made rather than natural fibers.
Examples of synthetic fabrics include polyester, acrylic, nylon, rayon, acetate, spandex,
lastex, and Kevlar.
Synthetic (chemically produced) fibres are made by joining monomers into polymers,
through a process called polymerization. A synthetic fibre, when magnified, looks like plastic
spun together. Chemicals used to make synthetic fibers include sodium hydroxide and
carbon disulphide, which are derived from coal, oil, or natural gas. Pressure forces the liquid
chemicals through tiny holes called spinnerets. As the liquid comes out of the spinnerets and
into the air, it cools and forms tiny threads. Manufacturers add dyes to these threads before
weaving them into fabric.
Synthetic fabrics have many different qualitiesincluding some not achievable with natural
fibres. Synthetic fibres can provide waterproof fabrics and elastic fabrics for swimwear and
lingerie. Depending on the synthetic fabric, various added chemicals can make it softer,
wrinkle free, flame-resistant, water resistant, stain-resistant, or moth-repellent. While all
these qualities are desirable, the processes can harm the environment, wildlife, and people's
health.
Synthetic fabrics are often non-biodegradable, meaning that when discarded, they do not
break down in soil, and the chemicals used in their manufacture can leach out into the
environment.

Product life extension: elongating the useful life of products and

services.
We see potential when it comes to chemical recycling. But we need
more innovation and more capacity in chemical recycling to provide for
the possibility of cellulose and different synthetic fibres being reused

two primary types of faux leather construction: polyurethane (PU), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC Vinyl).
Economical Faux leather is typically much more affordable than real leather.
Durability Faux leather is very durable and will last a long time. It can withstand scratches and scrapes that
would mar genuine leather. It is not prone to crack or peel like leather. It will not fade as easily in ultra violet
(UV) light and is stain resistant.
Low Maintenance Faux leather materials can usually be wiped clean with a rag and warm water. Unlike
genuine leather, it does not retain moisture, so faux leather items will not become warped or cracked. Some of the
new performance faux leathers can remove ink, liquid and food stains with only a dry cloth.
Realistic Quality Faux leather has been modified and improved with variations in grain, color and textures to
reflect a visual appearance with a realistic leather quality.
Consistent Appearance Faux leather will provide a uniform look since all the pieces come from the same
stock.
Fashion - Faux leathers can also be printed providing enormous variety of textures and patterns. In addition,
because faux leather is a synthetic material, it can be dyed a rainbow of colors. This fashion forward approach
allows for more freedom when decorating residential or commercial interiors.
Easy to Work With Faux leather is easier to cut and sew than real leather. In addition, needle marks are
usually less noticeable and threads blend with the faux leather material more seamlessly.

Garment exporters, currently dominated by cotton garments, are in the process of tapping
synthetic and blended garment segments in a big way, which constitute about 70 per cent of
global demand
Another major market emerging was fluorescent jacket used by police officials during night,
which was estimated at four billion US dollars across the world and the medical textile and sports
wear segment was also emerging, with blood stain free and capable of absorbing sweat, giving
comfort to players and looked up as performance wears, he said.
