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 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.

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.
