BANANA FIBER AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, UNION YARN USING THE SAME AND FIBER STRUCTURE

This invention provides banana fibers produced from banana stems as raw material of an industrial waste, a process for making said fibers, blends composed of said fibers and staple fiber of other fibers, and fiber composite produced from said blends. Wherein, the characteristic of banana fibers is to cut the fibers herein after the pseudo stem of that peeled banana stem has been dried, which makes it have an average fibre length of 10 to 50mm, an average fineness of 0.5 to 80 dtex. The process for making banana fibers comprises steps of : (a) cutting the banana stem; (b) peeling the colored skins of the stem; (c) peeling plurality of skins of the stem and making them as unit skins; (d) adding the unit skins onto the press and taking fiber cores; (e) drying the fiber cores; (f) acquiring single firers from dried fiber cores; and acquiring staple fibers by cutting single fibers in certain length.
