Document Summary
Comfort and safety properties: the complexities of comfort depend on characteristics such as absorbency, heat retention, density and elongation, absorbency is the ability of a bre to take up moisture from the body or from the environment. Resistance to chemicals: resistance to chemicals and chemical reactivity determines the appropriateness of care procedures and end uses for bres as well as selection of appropriate dyes and nishes for fabrics and products. Emily moreno: acids are compounds that yield hydrogen ions to alkalis in chemical rections, alkalis are compounds that remove hydrogen ions from acids and combine with the acid in a chemical reaction. Fibre property charts: the bres within each generic family have individual differences. Fibre identi cation: the procedure for identifying bres in a fabric depends on the nature of the sample, the experience of the analyst, and the facilities available.
