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.

Since this is becoming very popular to most fashion designers, they are utilizing it now to incorporate this to their newly made collections. Most modern technologies have been used since it do have provided some additional useful techniques and as well qualities to make the product look more real. The fashion designers now are looking forward on including it to future collections.

The factors that are driving the designers to choose fake rather than real is its color and its volume, this is because they can just control it easily. Unlike the real furs, it can be colored in any shade, thus, allowing the combinations of any color. These are also made resistant and durable to any environmental attacks.

Fake furs was produced in many different variations of materials such as polymers. Acrylics and modacrylics, and other blends of polymers are most common polymers which are used. An acrylic polymer is composed of chemicals from coals, air, water, petroleum, and limestone. Secondary monomers may be added to improve the dye absorption to acrylic fibers. A modacrylic polymer is made out of monomers such as acrylonitrile and vinyl chloride.

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.
