Innovation banana and marine fish scales fiber for fabric uv protection UV protection weaving

Abstract

People are paying a lot of attention to natural fiber handicrafts in Thailand nowadays. It also has a tendency to grow up continually. Thailand produces banana fiber, which is currently expanding and pushing banana fiber manufacturers to gain a large assortment of merchandise to disseminate and promote banana fiber manufacturing across the world. Simultaneously, there are issues with product quality and appearance that do not fulfill the demands and desires of consumers. When compared to other natural fibers, banana fibers are particularly thick. The woven cloth is quite hard and thick as well as difficult to wear, given the limited fibers. As a result, there are constraints in the manufacture of various types of clothes, as well as changes in consumer behavior as a result of trends that seek new alternatives to fulfill demand. As a result, textile product development is critical nowadays.The researcher chose filagen yarn  as a binder for spinning into yarn. and using filaments as warp yarns to increase the woven fabric's flexibility as a solution to the difficulty described above. It's a collagen-extracting fiber made from the scales of marine fish. Filaments have four distinctive properties as follows: It can preserve skin hydration, eliminate and protect body odor with UV protection up to SPF 50 and provide a cool surface temperature.Furthermore, collagen's properties are long-lasting. Even after washing, the amount of collagen remains constant, and the collagen fibers are still made entirely of natural elements. It's biodegradable and safe for the environment. This combination will increase the versatility of woven fabrics. The results of this research have developed a contemporary design pattern and product development to be distinctive to promote products woven from natural fibers or banana fibers with quality and standardized design and able to market both domestically and internationally with quality, in addition to improving the properties of woven fabrics to meet the needs of consumers.
