Can you imagine a fiber with size less than one denier? Micro fiber is such material and its size is less than 1 denier. Micro fiber showed a way to the world about how to take a product that seems of no use and just turn it into a useful product. The era of synthetic fibers started in medieval 20^th century when the need for fibers was abundant. A turn around took place when the worthless oil was refined and synthetic fibers were made. Now, this along with synthetic fibers yielded a material which was named polypropylene. This was processed to make olefin fibers.

After continues experiments with polypropylene surprisingly, a fiber was developed which was much less that 1 denier. This was later named as micro fiber. This exceptionally thin material amazingly was flexible and it Is proven that it can be used for a large number of textile industries than the then famous olefin fibers. Since then, microfibers are used for many various types of clothing materials. Micro fibers are mostly made of polyesters but they are some times a composition of nylon and other polymers.

Micro fiber in the recent years have become tremendously famous for their apparel and proved to be as an alternate apparel to cotton apparel, and the main reason is that, material of micro fiber keeps moisture away from the body and so keeps the body dry.
