Fiber
Fiber-based thin and threadlike substances are used in textiles, rope, and various other industrial products. These fibers can be natural (like jute and cotton) or synthetic (like polyester and nylon). Among natural-type fibers, jute holds great importance among others and is mostly associated with eco-friendly products. Bangladesh, internationally, is famous for quality jute and fiber exports. Indeed, it has they are the best fiber exporter in Bangladesh that deals with the finest-grade natural fiber in practically all markets of the world.
Our Fiber Categories
1. Natural Fiber
- Natural fibers are those types of fibers that come from plants, animals, or minerals. These fibers are recyclable and generally more eco-friendly. There are three types of fibers, which are:
- Plant-Based Fibers
- Animal-Based Fibers
- Mineral-Based Fibers
2. Semi-Natural Fiber
- Semi-natural fiber is made from natural raw materials (like cellulose) that are chemically processed to form usable fibers.
- VSF(Viscose Stable Fiber)
- Rayon
- Bamboo Viscose
3. Man-Made Fiber
- Man-Made fibers from chemical processes usually last longer and cost less than natural fibers.
- Polyester:
- Nylon
- Acrylic
- Polypropylene
- Spandex (Lycra/Elastic)
🧪Key Properties of Fiber
Property | Description |
Tenacity | Strength per unit size (measured in grams/denier) |
Elasticity | Ability to stretch and recover |
Moisture Absorption | Important for comfort (e.g., cotton vs. polyester) |
Thermal Resistance | Important for technical applications |
Durability | Resistance to wear and tear |
Luster | Shine or glossiness of the fiber |
Biodegradability | Natural fibers are generally biodegradable; synthetics are not |
🧰 Common Uses of Fibers
