    How A Faux Fur Throw Is Being Made

    By Brenda Hayes


    The word faux is originated from a French word which means false. This means to describe something that is only an imitation or is fake. Manufacturers for these kind of objects must attempt to create products that would resemble an original item as closely as possible. But there are some products which are only made to look faux but are really original, this is because of debates that happen concerning the over use of real animal furs.

    There are many varieties of ways in producing faux materials. One of which are finishes, these are made out from marble dust. Marbles and some other types of stones are finished with the use of sponging, spatter dash, or feather streaking techniques. Fake furs are becoming popular because of the animal welfare promotion. So faux fur throw products now are being produced as an alternative for real clothing and considered as animal friendly.

    Aside from its purpose in some clothing, these are also use in stuffed animals, home decorations such as bedding and pillows, and as well as for fashion accessories. Real furs are a bit thicker. So for this reason, special sewing machines for its production are used.

    Nowadays, these types of fur became a trend in most fashion designing. This is also considered now as a mainstream in winter fashion. Winter fashion would include hats and also jackets. Most designers today surely have started thinking about some other fashion types that they can collect in the future by the use of these materials. They would prefer on using fake than the real ones because it can be easily manufactured and controlled based on its color and volume.

    Fake furs are usually made out from different variations of materials. The typical materials that are being used are polymeric fibers. These fibers are being processed and dyed to be able to acquire the desired texture and color. Different types of polymers are also being used, and these are acrylic, modacrylic, and some other polymers.

    Modacrylic polymer and acrylic polymer have their characteristics that are very useful and these include weight lightness and it is also springy. Other useful characteristics are its sunlight, smoke, and heat resistance. It also has resistance to mildews, thus, lessening the attacks of insects. It also contains low absorbency making it dry quickly. Wool, silk, and mohair fabrics can be used to improve the appearance of the garment.

    To be able to monitor the production, incoming raw materials should be inspected. Other features such as the density, appearance, pH, resiliency, and absorbency are also being tested. While the production is on going, from time to time, manufacturers are taking samples for them to know if ever they met the requirements.

    Modern technologies have helped in improving the factors of quality production and this include its appearance. Some researchers have said that there will be more productions of these materials are to be developed. These materials have improved its quality, look, and lesser cost. New techniques for faster and more efficient production are being investigated.

    Since there is a continuous growth of the demand of these products, it would not be easy for a person in distinguishing faux from natural. And these may be one reason for the increase in the demand. Lastly, the manufacturers must strive in producing products that are of higher quality but have lesser cost.
