← HistoryWhich consequence results when Byzantine silk dyeing uses improperly cured madder?
A)Increased fabric tensile strength
B)Reduced lightfastness of the dye✓
C)Prevention of Tyrian purple creation
D)Improved resistance to microbial degradation
💡 Explanation
Reduced lightfastness results because improper curing creates alizarin complexes prone to oxidation. This light-sensitivity weakens pigment bonds, therefore the dye fades quickly, rather than imparting strength or resisting biological attack.
