Banana fiber is to use banana stem as raw material, it is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, the fiber after chemical degumming can be used for cotton spinning. Using biological enzyme and chemical oxidation combined treatment process, after drying, refined, fiber fiber and made of the fiber, it has light quality, good luster, high water absorption, strong antibacterial, easy degradation and environmental protection functions. Japan has taken the lead in the research on banana fiber, India and other Southeast Asian countries with rich banana resources have also carried out a lot of research, China's extraction and product development of this fiber are also in progress, and have made some progress. The successful production of banana fiber has greatly expanded the application of banana stem rod and alleviated the shortage of international natural fiber.

The chemical composition of banana fiber: it is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, its cellulose content is relatively low with flax and jute, hemicellulose and lignin content is higher, so the luster, softness, elasticity and spinnability of fiber are slightly inferior to flax and jute.

The length of single fiber and banana single fiber is similar to jute, which is relatively short with flax, cannot be used for direct spinning, and must be processed into process fiber. The length of process fiber is similar to jute, but much higher than flax, so banana process fiber can be spinning on the jute spinning system. After chemical degumming of the banana process fiber, the fiber length can be reduced and the fiber fineness can be improved. Chemical unglued fibers can be used in cotton and wool spinning systems.

Banana fiber can be used to make household goods, and hand-peeled fiber can be used to produce handbags and other decorative items, or on jute spinning equipment to make ropes and bags and home textiles. Because banana fiber is light and burnish, water absorption is high, also can make curtain, towel, bed sheet to wait. The blend of banana fiber and cotton fiber can weave jeans, tennis clothes and coat, the blended rate of banana fiber is 30%, the blended fiber is 7s-12s coarse yarn, which can further develop fine yarn and 100% banana fiber. Banana fiber can also be used to make high-strength paper and packaging bags.

The development and production of banana fiber and products has added a new type of environmentally friendly natural fiber material to the textile industry, which will play a positive role in promoting the development of the textile industry. Banana fiber, yarn and products have broad application prospects and have good economic and social benefits.
