The mercerizing process is essential for high quality pre-treatment. Consumption of dye stuff can be reduced by 30%, levelness in dyeing is improved and a higher brilliance is achieved. Lustre is enhanced, strength and dimension stability increased. Furthermore the handle of the fabric improves.
Mercerizing can be carried out at various stages during pre-treatment: After desizing, after scouring or after bleaching. Each of these process sequences has its own merits.
