ADVANTAGES OF SYNTHETIC FIBRES :



♣ These fibres have a high lustre and they do not turn yellow with age.

♣ They are easy to clean and dry quickly.

♣ They do not shrink on washing.

♣ They last longer as compared to natural fibre.

♣ They are less expensive as compared to natural fibres.

DISADVANTAGES OF SYNTHETIC FIBRES :

♠ They easily melt and burn to form small sticky beads at a very high temperature. Therefore, there is always a risk of getting burns, especially in kitchen.

♠ They cannot absorb sweat. Therefore, clothes made from synthetic fibres are very uncomfortable in summer or rainy season.

♠ They get electrically charged in dry weather . This electric charge causes skin problems in some persons.

♠ They are Non- biodegradable and hence , cause pollution.
