Product Descpription:
Tampico Fiber, or Mexican Fiber as
it is more commonly known, must
surely be one of the most
remarkable natural fibers.
It grows in only one region of
northern Mexico in the form of a
cactus of the species agave
Lechuguilla.
This cactus grows completely
naturally, and cannot be
cultivated, and therefore
although it is farmed and
harvested commercially, the rest
must be left completely to
nature.
It thrives in the hot, dry climate
of the highlands of northern
Mexico. Harvesting is done
traditionally by hand, as is most
of the processing. Only the final
dressing takes place by
machinery.
Examined under a microscope, the
fiber has a series of tiny hooks or
barbs, which gives the fibre a
natural slightly abrasive quality.
This makes the fiber the ideal
choice for applications such as
the manufacture of mops for
metal polishing. This characteristic
also enables the fiber to carry
polishing compounds extremely
well.
This is also true for other liquids.
Tampico fiber is excellent for
carrying and retaining water with
minimal loss of rigidity, which
makes it the ideal choice for the
manufacture of nailbrushes and
body and bath brushes where a
completely natural product is
required.
It is also very suitable for the
manufacture of distemper and
masonry paintbrushes.
The fiber is extremely strong and
hardwearing, and is resistant to
attack by many chemical solutions
and solvents.
Being a natural fiber it has
excellent anti-static properties,
degrades completely naturally
with no harm to the environment
and is harvested from a
completely renewable source.
It is available in its natural creamy
color, and it can bereadily dyed in
a variety of colors. |
