Mercerizability refers to the ability of a fiber, typically cotton, to undergo the mercerization process, which involves treating the fiber with a caustic solution (usually sodium hydroxide). This treatment enhances the fiber's dye affinity, strength, and luster, making it more absorbent and improving its overall appearance and performance. Fibers that are mercerizable can achieve a significant increase in their natural properties, leading to higher quality textiles.
