JUTE FIBRE: PART 2

JUTE FIBRE: PART 2

In Previous paper we seen the morphology of jute fibre and chemical composition of jute fibre. Now we are show the Physical and chemical properties of jute in this paper.

JUTE FIBRE

• PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF JUTE:

• CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF JUTE:

• CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
Cellulose= 58-63 %
Hemicellulose= 20-22 %
Lignin= 12-14.4 %
Wax and fats= 0.4-0.8 %
Pectins= 0.2-0.5 %
Proteins= 0.8-2.5 %
Mineral matters= 0.6-1.2 %

• EFFECT OF ACIDS:
The jute fibre is easily damaged by hot dil. Acids ani conc. cold Acids.

• EFFECT OF ALKALIES:
Fibres are damaged by strong alkali. Fibre losses its weight when it heated with caustic soda.

• EFFECT OF BLEACH:
The jute fibre is resistant to the bleaching agents.

• EFFECT OF LIGHT:
Colour changes slightly in presence of sunlight. It happence due yo presence of lignin in the fibre.

• EFFECT OF MILDEW:
Prevention ability is better than the cotton and linen fibre.

• DYEING ABILITY:
Dyeing is easy. Basic dye is uesd to colour the jute fibres.

• EFFECT OF MICRO-ORGANISMS:
Jute has more resistant to micro biological attack than either gray cotton or flax.

• USES OF JUTE FIBRE:

Fabbrics
Cloths
Dress material
Furniture
Decoratiom
Jute Chairs
Stools & Tables
Jute Beds
Jute Sofa Sets
Jute Office Furniture
Jute Hotel Furniture
Shoes
Shopping bags
