keten
Keten is a natural fiber derived from the leaves of the sisal plant, primarily found in tropical regions. It is known for its strength and durability, making it suitable for various applications, including ropes, twine, and mats. Keten is also biodegradable, which makes it an environmentally friendly choice compared to synthetic fibers.
The production of keten involves harvesting the leaves of the sisal plant, followed by a process of decortication to extract the fibers. These fibers are then washed, dried, and processed for use in different products. Keten is valued for its resistance to saltwater and its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions.
