Abstract
A process for providing and processing natural fibres, wherein the process includes the following steps: 1) providing a biomass including fibres and having a dry substance content of at most 50% by weight; 2) adding water to produce a suspension including the biomass; 3) extracting the natural fibres from the biomass; 4) separating the liquid from the suspension; 5) at least single repetition of at least one of steps 2) to 4), the suspension having at least one agent for finishing of the fibres in the last repetition of at least one of steps 2) to 4); and 6) drying the natural fibres.

A process for providing and processing natural fibers, wherein the process comprises the following steps:
- 1) providing a biomass comprising natural fibers and having a dry matter content of not more than 50% by weight;
- 2) adding water in order to prepare a suspension comprising the biomass;
- 3) extracting the natural fibers from the suspension;
- 4) separating liquid from the extracted natural fibers;
- 5) repeating at least one of steps 2) to 4) at least once, wherein in the last repetition of at least one of steps 2) to 4), an adhesion promoter is added to the suspension for finishing the natural fibers;
- and
- 6) drying the natural fibers.
