Classification of textile fiber



There are two types of textile fiber,
1.      Natural Fiber And
2.      Man Made Fiber

1.      Natural Fiber:
There Are Three Types of Natural Fiber,
a.       Natural Fiber Of Vegetable Origin. It Is Divided Into Three Types,
                                                        i.            Bast Fiber: Example: Jute, Flax.
                                                      ii.            Leaf Fiber: Example : Sisal, Pineapple.
                                                    iii.            Seed Fiber : Example : Cotton, Kapok.
b.      Natural Fiber Of Animal Origin ;
Example Wool, Silk.
c.       Natural Fiber Of Mineral Origin :
d.      Example : Asbestos,Glass.
2.      Man Made Fiber:It Has Two Types:
A. Natural Polymer/Regenerated Fiber:
  There Are Four Types Of Regenerated Fiber:
        i.            Cellulose(Rayon)
      ii.            Cellulose Ester
    iii.            Protein
    iv.            Miscellaneous
B. Synthetic:
        i.            Polyamides
      ii.            Polyesters
    iii.            Polyvinyl Derivatives
    iv.            Polyolefins
      v.            Polyurerganes
    vi.            Miscellaneous
Polyvinyl Derivatives  Divided By:
        i.            Polyacrylonitrile
      ii.            Polyvinyl Chloride
    iii.            Polyvinylidene Chloride
    iv.            Polyvinyl Alcohol
      v.            Polytetrafluoro Ethylene And Related Polymers
    vi.            Polyvinylidene Dinitrile
  vii.            Polystyrene
viii.            Misscellaneous
