← HistoryWhich consequence results when silk weighting using metallic salts reached high levels during the 19th century?
A)Increased dye saturation stability
B)Accelerated fabric decomposition✓
C)Enhanced drape and sheen initially
D)Reduced manufacturing complexity overall
💡 Explanation
Fabric decomposition accelerates because silk weighting involves metal salts that catalyze oxidation reactions, causing fiber embrittlement, therefore it loses strength rather than become more stable. Enhanced drape is a short term effect.
