Abstract: The two Egyptian cotton varieties Giza 76 (extra-long staple) and Dandara (long staple) were used as a material in the present study. Mercerization with KOH increased both fiber tenacity at 1 / 8 inch gauge length (T1) and fiber elongation the most, while it decreased fiber tenacity at zero gauge length (T0) the least and also induced the lowest improvement in strength uniformity. By contrast, NaOH treatment showed the least increase in both T1 and elongation, while it gave the most decrease in T0 and the highest improvement in strength uniformity.
