Banana Fiber Banana fiber is a natural bast fiber. It has its own physical and chemical characteristics and many other properties that make it a fine quality fiber. *Appearance of banana fiber is similar to that of bamboo fiber and ramie fiber, but its fineness and spinnability is better than the two *The chemical composition of banana fiber is cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. *It is highly strong fiber *It has smaller elongation * It has somewhat shiny appearance depending upon the extraction & spinning process. *It is light weight * It has strong moisture absorption quality. It absorbs as well as releases moisture very fast * It is bio- degradable and eco-friendly fiber *Its average fineness is 2400Nm *It can be spun through almost all the methods of spinning including ring spinning, open-end spinning, bast fiber spinning, and semi-worsted spinning among others
