Cottonisation of Decorticated Flax Fibres
Fibres and Textiles in Eastern Europe, 2017 The commonly used flax process of decortication allows the mechanical extraction of fibre from plant stems without prior retting. The one-type fibre obtained in this process is characterised by very low quality, as it is poorly divided, has high linear mass and high amounts of impurities. This paper presents a description of a newly developed method of
