HEMP FIBRE [8 records]

Record 1 2022-05-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Bast Fibres (Textiles)
  • Fibre Crops
CONT

The preliminary mechanical processing of the dried [hemp] stalks involves some fairly vigorous handling of the raw material, including breaking, scutching and the separation of the line fibres from the tow and other by-products. The stronger, more solid fibre bundles keep their original lengths and parallelism. During breaking and scutching the weaker and shorter fibres(tow), especially those at the foot of the stalks, break away and are removed together with the hurds, dust, soil, etc.... The hurds are removed pneumatically and may be sold for use as natural fertiliser, for the heat insulation of buildings, as fuel or as animal litter... The hemp tow is then passed through a conveyer drier that can use either hot or cold air.

Natural fibre producers have proven an important link in the emerging bioeconomy. Though cultivation of natural fibres such as cotton, sisal, and kenaf is not being considered right now in Canada, mainly because of the climate, others, such as flax and hemp, are now being taken very seriously. A number of initiatives by groups in the sector are directed at building infrastructures to establish the clusters necessary for viable natural fibre exploitation.

Key term(s)
  • natural fiber producer

Domaine(s)
  • Industries du textile
CONT

Les producteurs de fibres naturelles s’avèrent un maillon important de la bioéconomie en émergence. Si la culture de certaines fibres naturelles telles que le coton, le sisal, le kénaf n’est pas envisagée actuellement au Canada – principalement pour des raisons climatiques –, d’autres telles que le lin et le chanvre sont considérées comme une option très sérieuse. En particulier, plusieurs initiatives menées par des regroupements sectoriels visent en ce moment à acquérir l’expertise et mettre en place les infrastructures pour établir les filières nécessaires à la viabilité d’une exploitation industrielle de certaines fibres naturelles.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Industrial Crops
DEF

Process employing the action of bacteria and moisture to dissolve or rot away much of the cellular tissues and gummy substances surrounding bast-fibre bundles(from flax, hemp, and other fibre-producing plants), thus facilitating separation of the fibre from the stem.

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
DEF

A coarse, durable bast fiber of Cannabis found over the world. Used primarily for twine, cordage, halyards, and tarred riggings.

CONT

Hemp... plant of the family Cannabaceae and its fibre, one of the bast fibre group... Fibres are obtained by subjecting the stalks to a series of operations... The fibre... is usually yellowish, greenish, or a dark brown or gray and, because it is not easily bleached to sufficiently light shades, is rarely dyed. It is strong and durable and is used for cordage, e. g., twine, yarn, rope, cable, and string; and for artificial sponges and such coarse fabrics as sacking(burlap) and canvas. In Italy some hemp receives special processing, producing whitish colour and attractive lustre, and is used to make fabric similar to linen.

L'obtention de la fibre technique du chanvre est identique à celle du lin. Avant le peignage donnant le chanvre à long brin qui sera travaillé en filature à l'étoupe, les fibres techniques sont coupées en trois parties d'environ 80 centimètres,celle du milieu présentant les meilleures caractéristiques. La fibre ultime, d'une longueur de 10 à 40 millimètres, est moins régulière, plus aplatie et légèrement plus lignifiée que celle du lin. Le chanvre est essentiellement employé pour la confection des cordes et des sacs.
