Add Tag | Summary: | The Improvement of the softening process of cabuya fiber is aimed to promote the utilization of cabuya fiber as raw material for the fabrication of textile products that can be used in the manufacture of garment. Although very simple, cabuya softening processes have not yet become an optimal for obtaining suitable fibers for the elaboration of textile products. The most used process, and with which the best results have been obtained, is done after dyeing in which natural softeners such as aloe vera and chemical softeners such as soflan or rinse are utilized. Nevertheless, in the experimental section, it is sought to determine the optimal relationship between the amount of softener and the softness of the fiber, as well as the use of products that have not been developed as softeners but can work as the enzymes in order to acquire a fiber which can be used in the manufacture of textile fabrics, applied in clothing. On face of it, it will be necessary to apply an experimental treatment to production-plants-processed fibers by different ways: micro and macro emulsion of silicone, fatty acid, and application of both acidic and neutral enzymes. Once the test is finalized, advantages and disadvantages will be analyzed, however to determine which one of the processes applied works best in terms of tact and, therefore, offers the options for the elaboration of textile products. To sum up, this research is expected to improve the smoothing process of cabuya fiber, which would bring benefits such as versatility of use, greater job opportunities for people working on it and less environmental impact on textile production |
