that property of a porous material, such as paper, which causes it to take up liquids or vapors (e g , moisture) with which it is in contact, allowing penetration into its bulk
The propensity of a material to take in and retain a liquid, usually water, in the pores and interstices of the material (AATCC)
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
