Banana (Musa × paradisiaca L.) is a lignocellulosic natural fiber that
can be processed to produce eco-friendly and biodegradable hybrid fabrics when
combined with other fibers. Natural-dyed banana fiber can be utilized in the
production of sustainable materials for wearable products, household linens,
technical textiles, and apparel. In this study, banana-silk union fabrics, pre-treated
with bio-mordant at concentrations of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%, were dyed
separately using cochineal insect extract (Dactylopius coccus Costa). To assess the
dyeability of the banana-silk union fabric, Anatolian black pine cones (Pinus nigra
subsp. pallassiana) were utilized as a bio-mordant, with varying quantities. The
CIELab values of the dyeings were measured and compared. Additionally, the
chemical composition of the cochineal extract, pinecone mordant, raw fabric, and
selected dyed fabrics was analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR)
spectroscopy. The washing, light, and rubbing fastness properties of the dyed
banana-silk union fabrics were also evaluated and compared. This study developed
a method for weaving union fabric by blending two distinct natural yarns, namely
banana and silk, to reduce dependence on a single fiber and promote the utilization
of agricultural waste.
