Which finishing process is associated with Velour #79?

• A. Shearing, brushing
• B. Napping
• C. Brushing
• D. None

Answer: (A)

Velour has a soft, velvet-like surface created by a short, even pile. Finishing it involves controlling that pile height and forming the nap. Shearing trims the pile to a uniform length, giving a smooth base. Brushing then lifts and aligns those fibers to produce the even nap that defines Velour’s look and feel. Napping would create a fuzzier surface, and brushing alone wouldn’t ensure consistent pile height, so the combination of shearing and brushing best describes Velour #79.
