| When
you buy Original silk Rug, from India, you have to be sure that you
buy original only. Herein below are the details - |
| |
Real
Silk : Silk is the soft and shiny fiber that is used in
a variety of luxury textiles. By a process known as sericulture,
silk is obtained from the cocoon of the silkworm larva. The shiny
appearance of silk comes from the fibres' triangular prism-like
structure, owing to which the fabric refracts light at different
angles. Chemically, natural silk is C15H23O6N5 (we give the formula
in case you want to whip up a batch of your own). Silk is extremely
high in tensile strength, exceeding that of nylon. It has been estimated
that if a single silk fiber with the diameter of a pencil could
be produced, the fiber could lift a 747 aircraft (who figures these
things out, anyway?). Silk is used to make Oriental rugs because
dyed silk is a fiber with rich, saturated colors, and a distinctive,
almost translucent luster. |

Artificial
Silk : Silk which is not original is artificial silk. Rugs
. Most often this means mercerized cotton; sometimes it means a
manufactured fiber like rayon or a blend of chemically altered and/or
manufactured fibers. |

| How
to Identify A Real Silk Oriental Rug : There are 3 tests you can perform. |
| |
1.
RUBBING TEST Rub the pile with your open palm. The real silk rug
feels warm, the artificial silk rug stays cool to the touch.
2.
BURNING TEST : Look at the ash and smell the smoke. If the material
was cellulose (rayon), the ash should be soft and chalky, and
the smell should be like burning paper (most paper is made of
cellulose). If the sample is real silk, the burning sample should
ball to a black, crispy ash, and the smell
should be of burning hair (you're burning protein, the same stuff
your hair is made of).
3.
DISSOLVE TEST : At room temperature, mix a solution of 16 g copper
sulfate (CuSO4) in 150 cc of water. Add 8-10 g glycerine, then
caustic soda (sodium hydroxide: NaOH) until a clear solution is
obtained. This solution will dissolve a small sample of natural
silk, but will leave cotton, rayon, and nylon
unchanged.
