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
