Natural fibers are made from organic sources that have not been chemically altered and include cotton, silk, sea grass, jute and hemp. Natural fibers require more drying time because they are very absorbent, are more easily damaged by chemicals; shrinking, staining, water spots, fade and are readily attacked by mold and insects.
Man-made fibers are spun and woven into a huge number of consumer and industrial products, including garments such as shirts, scarves, and hosiery; home furnishings such as upholstery, carpets, and drapes; and industrial parts such as tire cord, flame-proof linings, and drive belts. The chemical compounds from which man-made fibers are produced are known as polymers, a class of compounds characterized by long, chainlike molecules of great size and molecular weight.
