Mikrofleece

Mikrofleece is a type of fabric commonly used in clothing and soft furnishings. It is a polyester-based synthetic material, often made from very fine polyester fibers, which gives it its characteristic soft and plush texture. The production process involves brushing the fabric to create a fluffy surface, mimicking the feel of natural fleece or wool.

The properties of mikrofleece make it a popular choice for various applications. It is lightweight, yet offers good insulation, making it suitable for activewear, jackets, blankets, and loungewear. It is also known for its breathability, helping to regulate body temperature. Mikrofleece is generally durable and resistant to shrinking or stretching, and it dries quickly, which is a practical advantage.

Another key characteristic is its hypoallergenic nature, as the synthetic fibers are less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to some natural fibers. It is also relatively easy to care for, typically machine washable and quick-drying. While it can generate static electricity, this is often mitigated by fabric softeners or anti-static treatments. The fine fibers also contribute to a smooth hand-feel, making it comfortable against the skin. Mikrofleece is often found in a variety of colors and patterns due to the ease with which synthetic materials can be dyed.
