  • Question 3

    Wet climate is suitable for cotton textile Industry because _________.
    Solution
    Wet climate is suitable for cotton textile Industry because Cotton yarn cannot be spun successfully under dry conditions.
    Cotton is a natural fibre and it absorbs a lot of moisture from atmosphere. The fibre processes well with appropriate level of moisture gained from atmosphere. Very high level of moisture - above 65% - disturbs processing as the fibres tend to stick to different parts of machines thus slowing the processing.
     Lower level of humidity causes dryness in the fibre and tends to create static electricity due to friction with various machine parts which also causes the fibres to stick to machines thus slowing the processing. Therefore higher level of humidity is good for processing cotton fibre in machines. During winter when humidity level is very low humidifiers are used to humidify processing departments.
