Jute A Versatile Fibre: Traditional Uses & Diverse Applications
Jute Sector Jute cultivation - 1.6 m ha Farmers - 12 m Industry workers - 0.5 m About 100 million people in the world are dependent on jute for their livelihood with a good number of women workers involved in various stages of production.
Main Strengths of Jute - High strength and modulus- Low extensibility- Moisture absorbing ability- High abrasion resistance - Good thermal stability- Insulation against sound - Anti-static property - Surface morphology
Additional advantages - Renewable- Unbreakable and Durable- UV-, termite-, acid- and alkali- resistant - Less costly - Biodegradable- Eco-friendly etc.
