Product Details

The sisal leaf contains three types of Fibres, namely (1) mechanical, (2) ribbon, and (3) xylem.

The mechanical fibers are mostly extracted from the periphery of the leaf. They have a roughly thickened-horseshoe shape and seldom divide during the extraction processes. They are the most commercially useful of the sisal fiber.

Ribbon fibers occur in association with the conducting tissues in the median line of the leaf. They are the longest fibers and compared with mechanical fibers they can be easily split longitudinally during processing.

Xylem fibers have an irregular shape and occur opposite the ribbon fibers through the connection of vascular bundles They are composed of thin-walled cells and are therefore easily broken up and lost during the extraction process.
