Are made from various chemicals or regenerated from cellulose such as wood pulp and cotton waste. Examples are polyester and nylon, which are synthesized from petro-chemicals and then melt-spun into either continuous filment or staple fibers. (See Fiber Science.)
fibers that are the result of extensive research by scientists to increase and improve the supply of natural fibers that have been used in making cloth. Few examples of synthetic fibers are rayon, acetate, nylon, modacrylic, olefin, acrylic and polyester.
manufactured fibers resulting from chemical synthesis.
Fabrics like polyester, nylon, acetate, and acrylic that come from petrochemicals. Synthetic fibers are fibers that are human-made versus fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, and hemp that are made in nature.
Synthetic fibers are used exclusively in machine-made rugs. These fibers are non-porous, meaning that they are inherently stain proof. They resist staining from almost any chemical. They are very durable, yet they feel soft and are incredibly easy to maintain.
Man-made fibers made from a polymer that has been produced artificially, in contrast to fibers made from naturally occurring polymers. The term synthetic fibers is also used to refer to synthetic filaments.
Most carpet fibers being used today, in contract to animal or vegetable fibers.
Man-made fibers such as polyester, vellux, acrylic, etc.
