Abstract:
This article represents the results of an
analysis of different flax fiber properties which were
expressed in different forms such as Spinning
Consistency Index (SCI), Micronaire values, Maturity,
Length, Uniformity, Short Fiber Index (SFI), Strength,
Elongation, Moisture, Rd, y+b, Color Grade, and
Trash Count. All these properties were found from the
High-Volume Instrument (HVI) testing machine. In
past, flax fiber was mainly used as a long staple form,
however, now it can be used as a cottonized form that
means short-staple form, which is mainly done by
blending with another short-staple spinning. In this
experiment, different cottonized flax fibers, which were
taken from different conditions, were used. Properties
of Spinning Consistency Index (SCI), Maturity,
Length, Uniformity, Short Fiber Index (SFI), Strength
and Moisture Regain % showed higher quality for
Scoured flax fiber. Micronaire value, Elongation %,
Color grade, and Trash count gave upper quality for
Bleached China Flax. Rd value for Bleached SFL-70
flax fiber and +b for both Mira flax and Anger flax
dark exhibited excellent results.
