Fur "under the mink" - what is it?

In the process of producing fur coats from non-natural fur “under the mink”, synthetic fibers consisting of acrylic polymers, hydrocarbon components, limestone, coal, and petroleum products are used as the basis. But in order to give a synthetic canvas a more natural look, it is additionally enriched with natural fibers. Usually, as a supplement is viscose, so the finished product becomes characteristic of natural mink shine, softness and elasticity. Thermal qualities of such "fur" products are much inferior to natural ones, but with high-quality tailoring they warm quite well.

Benefits

In addition to the relatively low cost, “artificial mink” also has a number of advantages. It is more durable and practical, can not be susceptible to attacks of pests and does not wear out as fast as a natural fur coat.

It is easier to take care of faux fur: fine dirt can be easily cleaned with a soft brush, and more serious ones can be washed in cool water with detergent added. Just a couple of tablespoons of vinegar will give the washed product a characteristic shine and softness, but still it’s not worth drying the coat on the battery.

And the most important advantage of fur coats from artificial fur is that for their production it is not necessary to kill animals. Now the importance of nature conservation is being repeated almost at every corner, and by acquiring such a fur coat you cannot blame yourself for cruelty.
