Industrial Abaca Fiber
(Manila Hemp)
Product Code: NT-AB-01
Category: High-Tensile Bio-Fiber
Overview
NovaTerra Abaca is the strongest natural fiber available globally. Sourced from heirloom plantations in Mindanao through tribal Joint Ventures, our fiber is processed to remove impurities and graded for industrial consistency.
Technical Specifications
Tensile Strength: 400–900 MPa (surpassing synthetic nylon and silk).
Density: 1.5 g/cm³.
Moisture Content: Standardized at 10–12% (post-stabilization).
Saltwater Resistance: High (naturally contains high lignin content to prevent decomposition).
Fiber Length: 1.5m to 3.0m (Standard Industrial Grade).
Primary Applications
Automotive: Interior door panels, headliners, and underbody shields.
Marine: Heavy-duty cordage and specialized hull composites.
Specialty Paper: High-security currency paper and teabags (high wet-strength).
