The advantages of synthetic fabrics mainly include the following aspects:
High cost-effectiveness: Synthetic fabrics are usually more economical than natural fabrics because their production process is relatively simple, the raw materials are easy to obtain, and the production cost is low.
Excellent physical properties: Many synthetic fabrics have excellent physical properties, such as polyester's high strength, good elasticity, pull resistance, wrinkle resistance, and firm shape retention; nylon has extremely strong wear resistance, which is 10 times that of cotton; acrylic has a feel, gloss, and softness similar to wool, and has good warmth retention.
Versatility: Synthetic fabrics also have significant functional advantages. For example, PU fabrics have a texture and gloss similar to genuine leather, good breathability, and a more affordable price. Spandex stretch fabrics have extraordinary elasticity and can quickly return to their original shape. They are often used in clothing that requires high elasticity, such as yoga clothes and swimwear.
Environmental properties: Some synthetic fabrics have good environmental properties. For example, chitosan fiber can be naturally biodegraded and is environmentally friendly; bio-based materials such as milk fiber and soy fiber are more environmentally friendly during the production process.
