Natural fiber fiber Hemp

roving

Product overview
Hemp (Cannabis sativa) used as a textile fiber is notable for its high tensile strength. It is a biodegradable, lightweight and durable natural fiber. When processed and woven for textile use, hemp can achieve softness and versatility comparable to cotton while providing greater strength, stability and moisture absorbency.

Evolution and qualities
Hemp fibers have evolved from coarse traditional fibers to a range of grades suitable for modern industrial and textile applications. Improved processing yields finer, more uniform fibers adapted to specific end-uses.
