- Abstract
The limited availability of natural fiber sources makes durian peel waste an alternative source of natural fiber. The characteristic of durian peel waste, which is mechanically strength, has the potential to be developed. During the durian season, the amount of durian consumption by the community increases so that the amount of durian skin waste produced will also increase. It raises environmental problems. Therefore, the research was conducted to study the potential of durian peel fiber as a source of textile fiber. The research carried out several stages, including physical and mechanical initial treatment and a chemical delignification process using an alkaline solution. The crude fiber obtained is then bleached, dried, and analyzed for textile fiber applications. The analysis included fiber content using the Chesson-Datta method, dimensional analysis using Scanning Electron Microscopy, strength, elongation, and fineness (micronaire) analysis. According to analysis, durian skin fiber is rough, brittle and unsuitable for clothing fiber applications. However, it still can apply for other textile applications.
