ʻO ke mele mele ʻana

ʻO Mercerized singeing kahi hana textile kūikawā e hoʻohui i ʻelua kaʻina: singeing a me mercerization.

ʻO ke kaʻina hana o ka hīmeni ʻana, ʻo ia ka hele wikiwiki ʻana i ke kaula a i ʻole ka lole i ke ahi a i ʻole ka hamo ʻana iā ia i kahi ʻili metala wela, me ka manaʻo e wehe i ka fuzz mai ka ʻili lole a hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia. I loko o kēia kaʻina hana, ma muli o ka wili ʻana a me ka hui ʻana o ka ʻili a me ka lole, ua lohi ka wikiwiki o ka wela. No laila, hana nui ka lapalapa i ka fuzz ma luna o ka ʻili o nā fiber, e ʻā ana i ka fuzz o ka ʻili me ka ʻole o ka pōʻino i ka lole. 

ʻO ke kaʻina hana mercerization ka mālama ʻana i nā lole pulupulu ma lalo o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana ma o ka hana o ka soda caustic concentrated, e hoʻopiʻi ai i nā molecular bond a me ka hoʻonui ʻana o ka cellulose o nā pulu pulupulu, a laila e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka luster o nā lole fiber cellulose, hoʻonui i ko lākou ikaika a me ke kūpaʻa dimensional, e hoʻopau ana i nā wrinkles ma ka ʻili lole ma mua o ka mālama ʻana, a ʻo ka mea nui loa, ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka lole adsorption a me ka hiki ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa.
