All of the following are consequences of a crosslinking crease resist finish EXCEPT

  • A.reduced moisture absorption
  • B.improved tear strength
  • C.improved crease recovery
  • D.reduced tensile strength

Answer: B

Correct answer: improved tear strength

Crosslinking the cellulose is what gives the crease recovery, but the same crosslinks stop the chains sliding past one another when the fabric is stressed, so tensile and tear strength both fall - often by a third or more, and abrasion resistance with them. Moisture absorption falls too, since the crosslinks occupy hydroxyl groups that would otherwise bind water.
