History

Which 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.
