Abaca. The abaca fiber is obtained from the leaves of the banana-like plant (same genus) Musa textilis (banana family, Musaceae). The fiber is also called Manila hemp from the port of its first shipment, although it has no relationship with hemp, a bast fiber. The mature plant has 12—20 stalks growing from its rhizome root system the stalks are 2.6—6.7 m tall and 10—20 cm thick at the base. The stalk has leaf sheaths that expand iato leaves 1—2.5 m long, 10—20 cm wide, and 10 mm thick at the center the fibers are ia the outermost layer. The plant produces a crop after five years, and 2—4 stalks can be harvested about every six months. 

Nonwood fibers are used in relatively small volumes. Examples of nonwood pulps and products include cotton Enters for writing paper and filters, bagasse for cormgated media, esparto for filter paper, or Manila hemp for tea bags. Synthetic pulps which are based on such materials as glass (qv) and polyolefins also are used (see Olefin polymers). These pulps are relatively expensive and usually are used in blends with wood pulps where they contribute a property such as tear resistance, stiffness, or wet strength which is needed to meet a specific product requirement.

Hemp is made from the bast fibers of Cannabis sativa. This is a larger plant than flax, and produces much coarser fibers. Abaca or Manila hemp is very different from plain hemp. Abaca is made from Musa textilis, commonly called the fiber banana plant. The core fibers of the leaf sheaths of this plant are resistant to salt water, which makes them useful for rope and fabric to be used at sea. It is also used to make handicrafts such as hats and household items. Paper made from abaca has a wide variety of uses, including paper currency (i.e. Japanese yen notes), sausage casings, industrial filters, and tea bags. The finest grade abaca is woven into a cloth called pinukpok. 

Cotton and Linen Cloth, etc.— The two most important sources of cellulose for the manufacture of thread and cloth and similar articles are the holl of the cotton plant and the stalk of the flax plant. The former is the source of all goods known as cotton while the materials made from the latter are termed linen. Another important fibre plant is hemp, the leaves or stalk of which yields fibres which are principally used in making twine, rope and canvas. Several varieties of hemp are used such as manila hemp, sisal, etc. The stalk of ihtjute plant is the source of materials out of which sacking or burlap and carpets are made.. In the manufacture of these products the fibre of the plant is mechanically separated and then spun into thread or twisted into yarn or rope. The thread or yarn are then woven into fabrics. The products possess properties characteristic of the particular fibre used. As in the manufacture of all of these important materials the cellulose undergoes no chemical change but is simply mechanically treated no further details of the processes will be given.

The leaves of the palmyra palm of India, used for centuries as writing paper, contain beautiful siliceous concretions. The endocarp of the ivory nut contains a layer of elongated cells assembled in palisade-like formation, each cell having a funnel-shaped lumen filled with silica. Prison developed a method for preparing specimens for optical examination so that the beautifully formed spines of silica, each covered with still finer spines, could be readily observed by microscopists. Siliceous concretions also appear in the endocarp of the coconut and in coco flbcr, bass fiber, and Manila hemp. ... 

Abaca or Manila hemp (Musa Textilis Nee) is a herbaceous plant that belongs to the family of Musaceae. Its appearance is similar to the banana plant, but it is completely different in its properties and uses. Abaca and other Musa Textilis mixtures, with different levels of quality and resistance, are produced and successfiilly marketed in several countries. 

Manila hemp is from yellow to brown in color. Its length is about 5—8 mm, and it is soUd, fight, and shiny. It has a very high wet strength and good resistant to rot. Manila hemp is used to produce tea bags and Manila paper on special machinery. The solidity of the fiber and its pectin content give this special paper a unique quality.
