| Dutch ..... Een behandeling voor katoengaren of -textiel waarin de stof wordt ondergedompeld in een bijtende oplossing van natriumhydroxide of een andere chemische base. Weefsels die op deze wijze behandeld zijn, zetten permanent uit. Het katoen wordt er sterker en glanzender van. Het proces is vernoemd naar Alexander Mercer (1791-1866), die het perfectioneerde. |
