2.Nylon: Tough, Wearable, Anti-static
Nylon is a kind of chemical fiber that has strong strength and is wearable. But it is easy to be out of shape under very little external force. So nylon fabric is easy to crease when worn. Under poorly ventilated environment, it will easily generate static electricity.

3.Acrylic fiber: The “Wool” in Chemical Fiber
Acrylic fiber fabric is also known as synthetic wool, which is the high-grade fiber in chemical fiber. It has very similar performance to wool. It has good elasticity. At 20% elongation, the resilience rate can still be 65%. It is fluffy, curly and soft. And its heat retention is 15% higher than that of wool while its cost is much lower than wool.
Now many wool fabrics are made of acrylic fiber. Generally, acrylic fiber is applied in knitted sweater, which can be spun or blended into various wool materials, blankets and sportswear.

4.Vinylon: The “Cotton” in Chemical Fiber
Vinylon is called “synthetic cotton”. It has the strongest moisture absorption among synthetic fibers. Its moisture absorption is 4.5~5%, close to cotton (8%).
At present, the popular silk filler is vinylon.

5.Polypropylene: Lightweight and Warm, Non-hygroscopic
Polypropylene is the lightest fiber among ordinary chemical fiber.
For it is non-hygroscopic, it can be used to make diaper and mosquito net.
 
6.Spandex: Good Elasticity
Spandex has good elasticity and poor strength.
Spandex is comfortable for wearing. It has soft hand feeling. It is anti-wrinkling and can keep the original shape.
Spandex is widely applied in underwear, casual cloth, sportswear and sock, etc.
