Modacrylic fibers are either dry spun or wet spun .
The low softening temperatures of modacrylic fibers allow them to be stretched, embossed and molded into special shapes. The fibers may be produced with controlled heat shrinkage capacities. When fibers of different shrinkages are mixed in the surface of a pile fabric, the application of heat develops fibers of different lengths, producing a surface that resembles natural fur. If dryer is used, use low setting and remove articles as soon as tumbling cycle has stopped. If ironing is required, use low setting.
