Abstract

Microfibers have high fineness and their special properties are achieved by changing micromorphology and structure. These modifications result in fibers of exceptional aesthetic properties, pleasant touch, and comfortable to wear; due to their price and availability they are often called luxurious fibers. On account of their exceptional properties they find their applications in various areas of application. High quality imitation leathers, high tech products, sportswear and underwear as well as toys are produced. However, microfibers find the biggest application in cleaning products for their exceptional absorption of dirt and liquids without the use of aggressive chemicals.
