What is Overview of Bast Fibers and Flax about?
Bast fibers are collected from the stems of plants like jute, hemp, flax, and kenaf. Bast fibers are cellulosic but also contain gums, and they have properties like high permeability, good water absorption, and antibacterial qualities that make them sustainable natural fiber resources. Flax is a bast fiber that grows as a slender stem plant up to 1.2 meters tall, cultivated for both its fibers and seeds. Flax fibers are extracted through retting and scotching processes and used mainly for linen.
