2. Testing of Textiles (Lab)
Experiment No. 04
Experiment Name: Study on analysis of various textile fibers.
Introduction: A fiber that can be spun into yarn or processed into textile such
as woven fabric, knit fabric, lace, felt, non-woven etc. by means of an appropriate
interlacing method is called as textile fiber.
Properties of textile fibers:
 Fiber should have at least 5mm length.
 Elasticity, Fineness, Uniformity, Durability, Luster and crimp should have a
textile fiber more or less.
 Fiber mustbe supple, flexible and should have strength enough and so on.
ClassificationOf Textile Fibers:

3. Objectives:
 To analysis Banana fiber
 To analysis White Jute fiber
 To analysis Flax fiber
 To analysis Cotton
 To analysis Acrylic fiber
Analyzing of textile Fiber:
1. Fiber Name: Banana fiber
Characteristics of BananaFiber:
i. The chemical composition of banana fiber is cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin.
ii. It is highly strong fiber.
iii. It is light weight.
iv. It has strong moisture absorption quality. It absorbs as well as releases moisture
very fast.
v. It can be spun through almost all the methods of spinning including ring
spinning, open-end spinning, bast fiber spinning, and semi-worsted spinning
among others.
vi. It is bio- degradable and has no negative effect on environment and thus can be
categorized as eco-friendly fiber.

4. Uses/Application:
i. Primarily used for making items like ropes, mats, and some other composite
materials.
ii. In Japan, it is being used for making traditional dresses like kimono, and
kamishimo since the Edo period (1600-1868).
iii. Banana fiber is also used to make fine cushion covers, bags, table cloths, curtains
etc.
iv. Rugs made from banana silk yarn fibers are also very popular world over.
2. Fiber Name: White Jute Fiber
Characteristics of white jute fiber:
i. Fibers length: 5-12 ft.
ii. Strength: 3-4gm/den.
iii. Moisture Regain(MR%): 13.75 %
iv. Elongation:1.7% at the break
v. Dying Ability: basic dye used to color.
vi. Effect of Mildew: Prevention ability is better than cotton and linen.
Uses/Application:
i. Making twine, rope, and making matting are among its uses.
3. Fiber Name:Flax fiber
Characteristics of Flax fiber:
I. It’s also called linen.
II. High is 80-120 cm.
III. 70% composed of cellulose.
IV. Very Resistance quality.
V. Softer to feel.

5. Uses or Application:
i. Table wear
ii. Suiting
iii. Clothing apparel
iv. Surgicalthread
v. Sewing thread
vi. Decorativefabrics
vii. Bed linen
viii. Kitchen towels
ix. High quality papers
x. Handkerchief linen
xi. Shirting
xii. Upholstery
xiii. Draperies
xiv. Wall coverings
xv. Artist’s canvases
xvi. Luggagefabrics
xvii. Paneling
xviii. Insulation
xix. Filtration
xx. Fabrics for light aviation use
xxi. Automotive end uses
xxii. Reinforce plastics and composite materials.
xxiii. Flax could conceivably be mixed with excess grass seed straw or softwood
fiber in composite boards.

6. 4. Fiber Name:Cotton
Characteristics of Cotton:
I. Cotton Fiber could be white, creamy, grey, bluish white or
willowish white.
II. Ithas a tenacity of 3-5gm/den.
III. Wet strength of cotton is 20%.
IV. Ithas an elongation break at 5%-10%.
V. Standard moistureregain is 8.5.
VI. Cotton is not attacked by moth-grubs or beetles and so on.
Uses/Application:
I. Terry towels
II. Bath Towels
III. Shirts
IV. T-shirts
V. Polo-shirts

7. VI. Denim
VII. Trouser
VIII. Socks
IX. Underwear
X. Sewing thread
XI. Bed sheet
XII. Pant
XIII. Upholstery
XIV. Clothing apparel and so on.
5. Fiber Name: Acrylic Fiber
Characteristics of Acrylic Fiber:
I. It’s generally used for make sweater becauseit is like wool.
II. Tenacity 2-4.2gm/den.
III. Elongation at break 20%-50%.
IV. MR%: 1%-2.5%
V. Color : white or grey
VI. Strong alkali damages the fiber.
VII. Acid dyes and Basic dyes are suitable to dye acrilic fiber.
Uses/Application:
I. Apparel: Sweaters, socks, fleecewear, circular knit apparel,
sportswear and children’s wear.
II. Home Furnishings: Blankets, area rugs, upholstery, pile; luggage,
awnings, outdoor furniture.
III. Other Uses: Craftyarns, sailcover cloth, wipe cloths.
IV. Industrial Uses: Asbestos replacement; concrete and stucco
reinforcement.
