PRODUCTION OF PINEAPPLE LEAF FIBER
Pineapple Leaf Fiber made of pineapple leaves
that have been extracted, this fiber is shaped like hair which consists of
longitudinal strands of fibers (Filaments) with a length of about 0.6 - 1 m
(according to the length of the pineapple leaves). has a soft, smooth and
strong character.
Production stages of
pineapple leaf fiber :
1.
Preparation of low
material (Pineapple Leaf)
2.
The Process of extraction
pineapple leaf
3.
The process of cleaning
pineapple leaf fiber
4.
The Process of drying pineapple
leaf fiber
Morphologically, the amount of fiber in
pineapple leaves consists of several bundles of fibers and each bond consists
of several fibers (multi-cellular fiber). cells in pineapple leaf fibers have
an average diameter of around 10 μm and an average length of 4.5 mm with a
ratio ratio between length and diameter is 450. The average cell wall thickness
of pineapple leaf fibers is 8.3 μm.
