Chainless mercerising differs from chain mercerising in that

  • A.the fabric is treated in rope form
  • B.tension is applied by rollers
  • C.no tension at all is applied
  • D.no caustic is used at all

Answer: B

Correct answer: tension is applied by rollers

Chain mercerising grips the selvedges on a stenter chain and holds the fabric to width; chainless mercerising applies the tension through a series of driven rollers instead. The chainless machine is simpler and faster and avoids selvedge damage, but it can hold the *length* under tension rather better than the width, so it suits some constructions and not others.
