The acrylic lanyards is a type of ribbon made from acrylic fibers, it is widely manufactured throughout the world it does use a chemically produced substance called acrylonitrile, which is also used in the production of plastics. The Acrylonitrile tends to break down easily in the environment, though there is some argument on this point. Very high levels of acrylonitrile exposure might be considered toxic, but the quick break down often keeps acrylic fabric marketed as environmentally friendly.

The acrylic fabric is used widely in knits, as upholstery covering, and the fibers may be woven to make landyards. Common people often think of acrylic fabric as an excellent wool substitute, and certain forms of it are exceptionally soft, while remaining lightweight. Some cashmere substitutes are made with acrylic fabric and are considered as good as or better than cashmere in softness and appearance. Few woven garments may contain an acrylic blend with natural fibers.

Acryliclandyards is favored for a variety of other reasons. It is warm, can be quite soft, holds color well, and is both stain and wrinkle resistant. These can make acrylic fabric a popular choice, and for those who love wool but are allergic to it. Acrylic can be an excellent substitute.When acrylic fabric was first made, it was ofter thought “cheap” and not as valuable as natural fiber garments. Some early acrylic fabrics weren’t comfortable and were quite itchy. New manufacturing processes have mainly solved these issues, and many prefer acrylic to natural fibers becausde it tends to be easier to care for.

In the early hours acrylic fabric was prone to pilling, and washing it regularly could cause the top of the fabric to have a worn appearance, to this end, Monsanto Chemical Company developed a chemical process called Pil-Trol that keeps acrylic fabric from pilling. This has proven helpful, but acrylic fabric still requires gentle care, may need to be dry-cleaned or at the very least washed in cold water on gentle cycle in the washing machine. The more carefully you treat acrylic fabric, the more likely the garment will last longer and retain a “new” appearance.
