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.
