synthetic material
Man-made fabric alternative
Synthetic material is any substance created through chemical processes rather than occurring naturally.
Plastics, nylon, and polyester are synthetic materials—manufactured from petroleum or other raw ingredients rather than harvested or mined.
The term often carries connotations of artificiality: The jacket looked like leather but was actually synthetic material.
