DESCRIPTION
Sisal Fiber is one type of Natural Fiber, which is found from Sisal green leaf. It is mainly grown in Africa countries. Due to its special characteristics, it is very useful in Navigation, Hard fiber, Paper, and some other Industries. Apart from ropes, twines, and general cordage, sisal used to make both low-cost and specialty paper, dartboards, buffing cloth, filters, geotextiles, mattresses, carpets, and wall coverings, handicrafts, wire rope cores, and macramé.
In the construction industry, sisal reinforces plaster in ceilings and walls, acts as a binding material for plaster moldings, and acts as a strengthening agent to replace asbestos and fiberglass. Sisal is also increasingly used in the automobile industry. At Agro Business Traders & Exporters, we export different grades of sisal fibers including 3L, 3S, UG, SSUG, and Sisal Tow.
Sisal Fiber:
Sisal Fiber is one of the most widely used natural fiber and is very easily cultivated. It is obtained from the sisal plant. The plant, known formally as Agave sisalana. These plants produce rosettes of sword-shaped leaves that start out tooth, and gradually lose their teeth with maturity. Each leaf contains a number of long, straight fibers that can be removed in a process known as decortication. During decortication, the leaves are beaten to remove the pulp and plant material, leaving the tough fibers behind. The fibers can be spun into thread for twine and textile production, or pulped to make paper products.
Sisal fiber is fully biodegradable, green composites were fabricated with soy protein resin modified with gelatin. Sisal fiber modified soy protein resins, and composites were characterized for their mechanical and thermal properties. It is a highly renewable resource of energy. Sisal fiber is exceptionally durable and low maintenance with minimal wear and tear. Its fiber is too tough for textiles and fabrics. It is not suitable for a smooth wall finish and also not recommended for wet areas.
The fine texture of Sisal takes dyes easily and offers the largest range of dyed colors of all-natural fibers. Zero pesticides or chemical fertilizers used in sisal agriculture. It is a stiff fiber traditionally used in making twine, rope, and also dartboards Sisal fiber is manufactured from the vascular tissue from the sisal plant (Agavesisalana). It is used in automotive friction parts (brakes, clutches), where it imparts green strength to performs, and for enhancing texture in coatings application.
Properties of Sisal Fiber:
Sisal Fiber is exceptionally durable with low maintenance with minimal wear and tear.
It is Recyclable.
Sisal fibers are obtained from the outer leaf skin, removing the inner pulp.
It is available as plaid, herringbone, and twill.
Sisal fibers are Anti-static, do not attract or trap dust particles, and do not absorb moisture or water easily.
The fine texture takes dyes easily and offers the largest range of dyed colors of all-natural fibers.
It exhibits good sound and impact absorbing properties.
Its leaves can be treated with natural borax for fire resistance properties. Its leaves can be treated with natural borax for fire resistance properties.
Chemical Composition of Sisal Fiber:
CHEMICAL COMPONENTS COMPOSITION ( % )
Cellulose 71.5%
Pectin 2.3%
Hemi-cellulose 18.1%
Fat and Wax 0.5%
Lignin 5.9%
Water-soluble matter 1.7%
Identification of Sisal Fiber:
Name of fiber Fiber type Flame reaction Color After Burn order
Sisal Cellulose fiber May flair when lit, burn Soft gray ash Burning paper or grass
Uses/Application of Sisal Fiber:
From ancient times sisal has been the leading material for agricultural twine because of its strength, durability, ability to stretch, an affinity for certain dyestuffs, and resistance to deterioration in saltwater.
1) Sisal is used commonly in the shipping industry for mooring small craft, lashing, and handling cargo.
2) It is also surprisingly used as the fiber core of the steel wire cables of elevators, being used for lubrication and flexibility purposes. Traditionally sisal was the leading material for agricultural twine or baler twine. Although this has now been overtaken by polypropylene.
3) It is used in the automobile industry with fiberglass in composite materials.
4) Other products developed from sisal fiber include spa products, cat scratching posts, lumbar support belts, rugs, slippers, clothes, and disc buffers.
5) Sisal is used by itself in carpets or in blends with wool and acrylic for a softer hand.
