A fleece blanket is an insulating blanket made of a synthetic fabric blend. The term "fleece" often causes confusion, because it is sometimes used to describe part of the wool of sheep. In this context, however, it refers to a specific polyester fabric with no wool content whatsoever. Polar fleece is the most well known type, though a number of varieties are available.
From SWAT teams to firefighters to everyday people in exercise wear or sneakers, almost everyone is touched in one way or another by nonwoven fabrics in the clothes they wear. Nonwovens have important benefits in apparel for all types of facilities: clean rooms in manufacturing, laboratories, hospitals, and so much more.
Thermal lining fabric is regular cotton, wool or polyester fabric that is coated on one side with acrylic foam or a thin layer of aluminum. This very thin layer gives the material insulating properties. Clothes lined with thermal fabrics can keep the wearer warm or cool, and thermal-lined curtains can help a room stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
There are many benefits to cotton clothing, but some of the most commonly cited are the material’s hypoallergenic nature and its moisture-wicking properties.
