Description
Mercerization is a treatment on cotton that changes the way cotton fibers look and feel. When cotton is mercerized, it becomes more lustrous and brighter in color.
What are the differences between Mercerised and Un-Mercerised Cotton? Mercerised cottons absorb dyes better and therefore show more saturated colours. It also provides a sheen that tends to intensify colour whereas Un-Mercerised Cotton yarns are duller in colour and more matt in texture.
The advantages of mercerized cotton are; improves the lustre and feel of the yarn/ fabric. The tensile strength of the yarn increases. The dye absorbency of the yarn or fabric improves.
Mercerised cotton fibres become smoother due to the treatment, contributing to a softer feel in the fabric. The increased smoothness enhances the overall tactile experience
