Mercerised Merino

Superior hand feel and drape with enhanced comfort


The mercerisation process for Merino wool is a process normally applied to wool top or scoured loose wool, creating a ‘cashmere-like’ feel and a ‘silk-like’ appearance, changing the perceived hand feel of the fibre.

원리

머서화 가공 메리노

울의 머서화 가공은 울 섬유의 표면에서 스케일 구조를 제거하여 보다 매끄러운 섬유 표면을 생성하며 광택을 증가시킵니다. 이 공정의 두 번째 단계에는 섬유의 표면에 영구적으로 융합되는 초미세 실리콘 폴리머 층의 적용이 포함됩니다.

The application of the silicone polymer brings about significant improvement in the hand feel. Although as a result of the treatment, the actual diameter (micron) of the fibre does not change, the perceived improvement in hand feel is the equivalent of using wool 2 - 3 microns finer.
