Modacrylic fiber is a flame-resistant, synthetic copolymer synthesized from acrylonitrile and other polymers, in tow and staple form. These copolymer fibers are strong, soft, resilient, and dimensionally stable. They are commercially used for various applications such as apparel linings, paint-roller covers, scatter rugs, carpets, work clothing, and as hair in wigs. Modacrylic fibers are widely employed in high-performance protective clothing such as firefighting turnout gear owing to their high degree of flame resistance. They can be molded, stretched, and embossed into special shapes, due to their low softening temperatures. Furthermore, they are commonly utilized in protective clothing, upholstery, drapery, bedding, and carpet industries. The combination of flame retardancy and low density is also useful in furnishings, draperies, and outdoor fabrics.

Modacrylic fibers are also used by technical fabric producers to obtain protective blends in order to manufacture PPE as well as toupees, fleece-type fabric, faux fur fabric, and wigs. Their heat-resistant nature makes them suitable material for toupees and wigs, enabling easy heat styling without damage. Other uses of modacrylics include paint rollers, industrial fabrics, stuffed toys, and filters.

Rising demand for modacrylic fibers is largely attributable to the growing need for hair fiber applications and protective apparel. Increasing standardization and industrialization are also expected to escalate the requirement for protective apparel to ensure the safety of employees. On account of changing lifestyles and rising demand for hair wigs and hair extensions, modacrylic fiber is projected to grow significantly during the forecast period. However, volatile raw material prices are anticipated to cause a hindrance during the forecast period. Moreover, the presence of substitutes such as nylon and rayon is estimated to further impede the development of the modacrylic fiber market during the forecast period.
