Cotton consists of shiny fibers filled with cell sap. When the cell sap dries after harvesting, the surface of the fiber warps and loses its luster, due to the resulting refraction of light. In the middle of the 19th century, John Mercer invented the process of mercerization. During mercerization, cotton is given a new, higher quality fiber structure through the application of tensile stress in cold concentrated caustic soda lye. Mercerized cotton has shortened fibers with a round cross-section. The refined material does not shrink and is very dimensionally stable. The changed refraction of light gives the fiber a silky sheen. Also, mercerized cotton absorbs color more easily and is much more tear-resistant than virgin cotton. Since mercerization is complex and expensive, only high-quality cotton fibers are refined through it. Because of the silky sheen of the yarn, mercerized cotton, like viscose, is often referred to as \"artificial silk\". However, the colloquial term \"artificial silk\" is not permitted under the Textile Labelling Act TKG.  The weft and warp threads of this Kayseri are made of \u003cb\u003ecotton\u003c\/b\u003e. This versatile material is tear-resistant and stretchable and, therefore, ideal for a durable backing fabric.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32254964334685,"sku":"16834","price":1720.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2298\/8523\/products\/16834_gesamt_99f9e5ff-0a7c-4134-a817-196cb7b95cc2.jpg?v=1586909241","url":"https:\/\/www.zomorrodi-teppiche.de\/en-de\/products\/kayseri-aus-merzerisierter-baumwolle-teppich-144-x-88-16834","provider":"Zomorrodi Teppiche","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
