4. There will be no problem with acrylic fabrics exposed to the sun for a long time. The structure of the fiber determines the characteristics of the acrylic fibers. Data shows that acrylic fabrics will be exposed to the sun for a long time. Its strength only drops by 20% after being exposed to the sun for one year, so the life of acrylic fabrics is generally longer.
5. In addition to being light-resistant, acrylic fiber is also acid-resistant and oxidation-resistant, which makes the maintenance of clothes easier.
Disadvantages of acrylic fabrics
