Chemical properties of Jute Fibers are:
- Effect of acids and alkalis: Easily damaged by hot and cold concentrated acids but resistant to alkali.
- Effect of bleaching agent: Not effected by oxidizing and reducing agent.
- Effect of organic solvent: Resistance to organic solvent.
- Dye ability: Jute fiber has good affinity to basic dye.
- Effect of sun light: Due to presence of lignin in jute fiber it may be damaged by sun light.
- Flammability: its flammability may be reduced by treating with boras and boric acid mixture.
- Effect of microorganism: Jute has more resistance to microbiological attack than either grey cotton or flax.
Hey that's really cool stuff! I love that rug too, where do I find this jute webbing?
