The amount of liquid, e.g. ink, that paper can absorb and hold.
Absorbency is the ability of the paper to take up or retain any liquid it comes into contact with.
The degree to which paper absorbs paint.
A material's ability to take up liquids or vapors ( e.g. water).
Property of pulp, paper or board to retain materials it contacts such as liquid, gas and solid substances.
Ability of paper or board to take up or retain aqueous solutions; printing inks, varnishes and the like.
The capacity of paper to accept liquids like inks.
The propensity of a material to take in and retain liquid, usually water.
ability of cat litter to soak up urine
the ability of a textile material to absorb and retain liquids within its structure.
capacity of the paper to absorb liquid.
The extent to which a liquid can be taken up into the pores of a fiber, yarn or fabric.
How much liquid a fabric will hold.
The extent to which a paper will take up and hold a liquid.
(or absorbancy) - Rate or Capacity - A measure of how a material or product picks up and holds a liquid, usually water. The two most important components of absorbency are rate and capacity. The rate of absorption is a measure of how fast a specific amount of liquid penetrates the material. The absorptive capacity is a measure the quantity of liquid that the material can hold. It is reported either on an area basis (grams of liquid per square meter of product), on a weight basis (grams of liquid per gram of product). The test result is very dependent upon how excess liquid is drained after the product is saturated. The effect of embossing upon absorbency is more obvious when very gentle drainage techniques are used.
The ability of a fabric to take in moisture. Absorbency is a very important property, which effects many other characteristics such as skin comfort, static build-up, shrinkage, stain removal, water repellency, and wrinkle recovery.
A measurement of a textile's ability to absorb liquid, in terms of both the amount that can be absorbed, and the rate of absorption.
The printing image dries through a proportion of the vehicle in the ink being absorbed into the paper leaving pigment and sufficient vehicle to key the pigment to the paper surface.
The ability of a textile to absorb liquid. Measured both in terms of how much liquid can be absorbed and the rate at which absorption occurs. Top page A.C.T. Textile Guidelines Guidelines created for the textile industry by the Association for Contract Textiles. Covering abrasion, fire retardancy, color-fastness (to light and crocking) and physical properties.
The capacity a material has to take in water or other fluid.
The ability of paper to absorb fluids such as water or printing ink
The ability of a fabric absorb moisture. Absorbency effects the characteristics of the fabric such as comfort, static build-up, shrinkage, stain removal, water repellency, and wrinkle recovery.
The ability of a substance to take in and incorporate another material; in the case of hosiery, moisture.
The capacity a paper has for accepting liquids, like the inks or water used to run offset lithographic presses.
The ability of paper to absorb or take in liquids.
That property of a porous material which causes it to take up moisture, ....
Ability of a paper or board to take up and retain a liquid with which it is in contact
The ability of a material to take up moisture
The ability of porous materials to attract a liquid (water) into its air spaces. In the production of pottery this is useful for the application of glaze to bisque ware in preparation for the glaze firing. The absorption rate of finished pieces (after firing) should be of concern to the consumer. Pieces with lower absorption rates tend to be more durable. See also bisque.
A paper's capacity to accept liquids such as inks or water used in lithography.
