The process of removing shine from fabrics or fibers using special chemicals or treatments.
Present participle of 'deluster' (verb), formed by adding '-ing.' This technical term emerged in early 20th-century textile manufacturing.
Delustering is actually a delicate process—too much treatment damages the fiber, too little leaves unwanted shine. It's one of those invisible industrial arts that makes modern fabrics work the way we expect.
