Real silk is made from a substance that thousands of small silkworms excrete naturally. Making real silk is very labour intensive and for this reason it is an expensive material and so a cheaper, synthetic silk fabric was developed.
Synthetic silk is commonly made from rayon, which is a man-made fibre, manufactured from cellulose. It can also be made from natural fibre, such as mercerized cotton.

Polmac Synthetic Silk Lining Fabrics
Synthetic silk has undergone many formulaic changes since it first appeared and over the years suppliers have become skilled at manufacturing a high quality, cheaper alternative to real silk.
Now, synthetic silk can be made from wool or cotton yarn, to provide that natural silk-like feel. There are many cloths made from synthetic silk, like women's blouses, dresses and lingerie and accessories, such as scarves and ties.
However, synthetic silk, with it's extensive, colour range, is also used to line wood, presentation boxes, as an alternative to flock and other 'velveteen' type fabric linings.

Synthetic silk, just like it's more expensive cousin, has a 'loose' feel, so when used as a lining material for wood boxes, foam, or polystyrene, moulded inserts are provided as a substrate, support material.
Synthetic silk is stronger than real silk, although it is susceptible to water damage. Therefore, the fabric must be kept dry at all times.
