- Abstract
Mangrove swamp forests in Malaysia can reach maturity up to over 70 years and have 100 mangrove swamps that cannot sin other countries. Mangrove swamps are coastal wetlands that cannot find around the tropics and subtropics. The characterized Mangrove plants as halophyte trees live in high salt content areas and grow in tidal waters. In Sabah, the Kota Kinabalu Wetlands Conservation Society (Sabah Wetlands Conservation Society) preserved the unique mangrove swamp with 24 hectares hidden behind the rapid development of the State of Sabah capital. In this research, researchers researched Rhizophora Apiculata Blum. Trees and Rhizophora Mucronata Lam. as one source of coloring on batik cotton fabric. Mangrove tree structures have the potential to produce color pigments. Techniques used in color production on batik cotton fabric include mordanting technique, batik canting technique, material extraction technique, fixation technique, wax removal, and experimental colorfastness on batik fabric sampling. Throughout this research, mangrove trees are still well preserved—besides, Rhizophora apiculata Blum. Rhizophora mucronata Lam. trees can produce various colors that can guide the textile industry and batik industry in Sabah and worldwide.
