Flax
Flax (also called linen) is a natural fibre. This natural material is characterised by a high tensile strength comparable to glass fibre and a low density. Flax is used as a fibre composite material in the automotive and sporting goods industries.
General properties of flax:
- low weight / low density
-smooth fibre, lint-free
- bactericidal
- antistatic
- dirt repellent
- inelastic
- very tear-resistant (comparable to glass fibres)
- natural sheen and strength
- natural fibre composite
- CO2-neutral
