Fibrilia is a kind of fiber obtained from various hemp plants, including bast fibers from the cortex of annual or perennial herbaceous dicotyledons and leaf fibers from monocotyledons. Alfa Chemistry offers fibrilia products to meet your specific needs.
Common Fibrilia
Fibrilia is a general term for bast fiber and leaf fiber. Common bast fibers include apocynum fiber, hemp fiber, jute fiber, flax fiber, nettle fiber, ramie fiber, etc. Common leaf fibers include sisal fiber, abaca fiber, etc.
- Apocynum fiber. In addition to the common characteristics of general fibrilia such as moisture absorption, good air permeability, and high strength, apocynum fiber also has a good silk-like feel. It can be used to make high-grade clothing, fishing nets, leather lines, raincoats, etc.
- Hemp fiber. Hemp fiber has been used for centuries to produce textiles, rope, paper, and more. It is strong, durable, and has natural antimicrobial properties.
- Jute fiber. Jute fiber is white and shiny, with the advantages of strong hygroscopicity, softness, and friction resistance. It is commonly used to make burlap sacks, rope, and carpets.
- Flax fiber. Flax fiber has excellent moisture absorption, breathability, anti-corrosion and other properties, and is known as the "Queen of Fiber". It is commonly used to make linen fabric, clothing, and paper.
- Nettle fiber. Nettle fiber is extracted from the stems of the nettle plant and is known for its strength, flexibility, and sustainability. It is commonly used in making textiles, ropes, and paper.
- Ramie fiber. Ramie fiber is thin and long, white in color, with a silky luster, and is the most textured natural fiber. Ramie fiber is known for their strength, durability, and resistance to mildew and mold. It is commonly used to make textiles and paper.
- Sisal fiber. Sisal fiber is obtained from the leaves of the sisal plant and is a hard fiber with a wide range of uses. It is known for its strength, durability and resistance to wear and tear, and is commonly used to make rope, carpets, and other products.
- Abaca fiber. Abaca fiber, also known as Manila hemp, is extracted from the stems of the abaca plant and is known for its strength, flexibility, and resistance to saltwater. It is commonly used in making ropes, textiles, and handicrafts.

Characteristics
Fibrilia is a natural cellulose fiber with many excellent properties, which makes it widely used in the textile field. The following are the main characteristics of fibrilia.
- Good moisture absorption. Fibrilia can absorb and release moisture well, keep the fabric dry and comfortable, and is suitable for wearing in various climate conditions.
- Strong breathability. The special structure of fibrilia makes it have good breathability, which helps regulate body temperature and keep comfortable.
- High heat resistance. Fibrilia can withstand high temperatures and is not easy to deform or damage, which is suitable for making textiles that need to withstand high temperatures.
- Antistatic. Fibrilia can avoid static electricity accumulation and reduce the discomfort and damage caused by static electricity.
- Antibacterial and mildew-proof. Fibrilia also helps prevent the growth of bacteria and mildew, keeping the fabric clean and hygienic.
In addition, fibrilia also has excellent dyeing properties and color retention, which makes fibrilia fabrics bright and beautiful in appearance. Due to its natural origin, fibrilia is also considered an environmentally friendly and sustainable textile raw material, which meets the needs of modern consumers for environmentally friendly products.
