 Sisal Fiber for Sale

Wholesale Sisal fiber is derived from an agave, Agave sisalana. It is valued for cordage because of its strength, durability, ability to stretch, affinity for certain dyestuffs. Moreover, like coir, it is resistant to deterioration in saltwater. The higher-grade fiber is converted into yarns for the carpet industry. Sisal is now also used as a reinforcement in polymer-matrix composites.

Fibre Extraction

Fibre is extracted by a process known as decortication, where leaves are crushed, beaten, and brushed away by a rotating wheel set with blunt knives, so that only fibres remain. Alternatively, in East Africa, where production is typically on large estates, the leaves are transported to a central decortication plant, where water is used to wash away the waste parts of the leaves.

The fibre is then dried, brushed, and baled for export. Proper drying is important, as fibre quality depends largely on moisture content. Artificial drying has been found to result in generally better grades of fibre than sun drying. Nevertheless, not always feasible in the less industrialised countries where sisal is produced. In the drier climate of north-east Brazil, sisal is mainly grown by smallholders and the fibre is extracted by teams using portable raspadors, which do not use water.

Fibre is subsequently cleaned by brushing. Dry fibres are machine combed and sorted into various grades, largely on the basis of the previous in-field separation of leaves into size groups.
