Some Benefits Of Using A Faux Fur Blanket

By Scott Walker


A faux fur is also called as fake or fun fur. These are materials made from synthetic fibers that resembles it. These can often be seen in clothing. The first productions for these happens in the year 1929, and now, its popularity began rising, especially when it is being credited because it has helped in promoting animal rights and for the organizations for animal welfare. The organizations have considered this production as an animal friendly since it became an alternative for original fur clothing.

Faux furs are not only used for clothing. Also, used for some fashion accessories, stuffed animals, and some types of home decorations such as bedding, pillows, throws, and faux fur blanket. These are also used in many other projects since it can be done by the use of a sewing machine. An original wool is made thicker compared to fake ones, and this is why it needs a special type of machine, but it can also be sewn by hands.

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.

Volume and color are the two main factors that makes the designers love to use fake than the real one. And the reason for this is it can be controlled. Unlike real furs, one can choose any shade and can combine any color to it. These are made durable and resistant to attacks from the environment.

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 acrylics and modacrylics are so much useful during the manufacturing since they are made springy and light weight. These may also be heat, soot, smoke, and sunlight resistant. They can also resist to any mildews and susceptible from insect attacks. These also can be dried very quickly due to its low absorbency.

Materials such as wool, silk, and mohair helps in improving the look of the garment. The materials which may be used for the backings are wool or cotton with polypropylene. To imitate the true design, designers would match the colors with originals 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.
