Question

The process for removal of protruding fibres from fabric surface is

• A. Desizing
• B. Scouring
• C. Souring
• D. Singeing

Hint:

Singeing is used to burn off protruding fibers from fabric surfaces, creating a smooth and even finish.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The process used to remove protruding fibers from the surface of fabric is called singeing. Singeing involves passing the fabric over a flame or heated surface, which burns off the protruding fibers that may stick out from the fabric's surface. This process results in a smooth, even finish and is typically used to enhance the appearance and texture of the fabric. Singeing is a crucial step in fabric finishing, especially for fabrics like cotton or synthetic fibers that have a tendency to have loose fibers. The other options do not specifically refer to the removal of protruding fibers. Desizing (A) is the process of removing size materials used during weaving. Scouring (B) is a cleaning process for removing impurities from fibers. Souring (C) involves treating fabrics with an acidic solution to remove alkaline residues but does not address protruding fibers.
Thus, the correct process for removing protruding fibers is singeing. Final Answer: \boxed{(D) Singeing}
