Acrylic fibres are synthetic fibres made from a polymer (polyacrylamide) with an average molecular weight of -100,000, about 1900 monomer units. For a fibre to be called "acrylic" in the US, the polymer must contain at least 85% acrylamide monomer. Typical co-monomers are vinyl acetate or methyl acrylate. DuPont created the first acrylic fibres in 1941 and trademarked them under the name Orlon. It was first developed in the mid-1940s but was not produced in large quantities until the 1950s. Strong and warm, acrylic fibre is often used for sweaters and tracksuits and as linings for boots and gloves, as well as in furnishing fabrics and carpets. It is manufactured as a filament, then cut into short staple lengths similar to wool hairs, and spun into yarn.
Properties of Acrylic Fiber
Â
End Uses of Acrylic Fiber:
Mod-acrylic is a modified acrylic fibre that contains at least 35% and at most 85% acrylamide monomer. The co monomers vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride or vinyl bromide used in mod acrylic give the fibre flame retardant properties. End-uses of mod acrylic include faux fur, wigs, hair extensions and protective clothing.

Textile uses
Acrylic is lightweight, soft, and warm, with a wool-like feel. It can also be made to mimic other fibres, such as cotton when spun on short staple equipment. Some acrylic is extruded in coloured or pigmented form; other is extruded in "ecru", otherwise known as "natural," "raw white," or "undyed." Pigmented fibre has the highest light fastness. Its fibres are very resilient compared to both other synthetics and natural fibres. Some acrylic is used in clothing as a less expensive alternative to cashmere, due to the similar feeling of the materials. Some acrylic fabrics may fuzz or pill easily, though there are low-pilling variants. Acrylic takes colour well, is washable, and is generally hypoallergenic. End-uses include socks, hats, gloves, scarves, sweaters, home furnishing fabrics, and awnings. Acrylic can also be used to make fake fur and to make many different knitted clothes.
Â
As acrylic is a synthetic fibre, the larvae of clothes moths are unable to digest it. However, acrylic fibres that are blended with wool or soiled may be eaten as a consequence of having blended fibres.
Â
Acrylic is the "workhorse" hand-crafting fibre for crafters who knit or crochet; acrylic yarn may be perceived as "cheap" because it is typically priced lower than its natural-fibre counterparts, and because it lacks some of their properties, including softness and propensity to felt. The fibre requires heat to "relax" or set the shape of the finished garment, and it isn't as warm when wet as alternatives like wool. Some hand-knitters also complain that the fibre "squeaks" when knitted, or that it is painful to knit with because of a lack of "give" or stretch in the yarn. On the other hand, it is machine-washable and extremely colour-fast. This makes it useful in certain items, like garments for babies, which require constant washing. However it is much more flammable than its natural fibre counterparts, so caution should be used when making items for babies and children.
