Disadvantages of Using Synthetic Fibre
These fabrics melt on heating
If these fabrics catch fire, fabric melts and stick to body of person wearing it
So they should not be used in kitchen and laboratory
These fabrics do not allow air to pass
It is because these fabrics do not have enough pores to allow sweat to pass through
So a person feels hot and uncomfortable during summers while wearing it
