Explain the raw materials , advantages …

The advantages of synthetic fibers are as follows:

1. Synthetic fibers are more durable as compared to natural fibers.

2. They are wrinkle free and require less or no ironing.

3. They are quick drying.

4. Synthetic fibers do not shrink and do not lose their colour.

5. Synthetic fibers are light in weight and at the same time they are cheaper as compared to natural fibers.

The disadvantages are as follows:

1. Synthetic fibers do not absorb sweat or moisture and hence not preferred for summer months.

2. These fibers can catch fiber easily and hence not advised to wear clothes of synthetic fibers while cooking etc.

3. Synthetic fibers are not biodegradable.

4. Some synthetic fibers are not good for the human skin.

5. Synthetic fibers can get damaged when washed with hot water.

6. Synthetic fibers do not allow the skin to breathe properly and hence can affect the lymphatic system of the body.
