Description: 

The technology involves weaving fine abaca, pineapple fiber or fabric in pure state or in combination with silk to a predetermined fabric construction, followed by chemical treatment and repeated mechanical softening by pressing thus imparting to the fabric the desired flattened, supply and compact appearance. The use of a motorized rotary press for the purpose assures faster and more efficient quality control of the finished material than the traditional normal hammering process using the wooden mallet. Since the process does not limit its utilization to abaca but also to pineapple and other indigenous products, this would ensure production of a wide variety of soft and smooth materials for apparel, shoes, bags, interior design materials, gifts and housewares and fashion accessories for the generation of foreign exchange earnings.
