Natural Fiber Flax

Flax is considered to be the oldest cultivated plant in the world!

It is a natural raw material whose fibers are very popular in the manufacture of textiles.

Why is that? By its very nature, the flax plant possesses properties that give our flax products enormous, naturally derived advantages. Flax fibers are smooth, and textiles made from them are less susceptible to dirt and bacteria. In addition, the fibers can absorb up to 35% of the ambient humidity and release it again as needed. Furthermore, flax fibers are highly tear-resistant, making them durable and long-lasting. The plant’s vibration-damping and insulating properties, the soft feel of the textile products, and their natural UV resistance are additional benefits that add significant value to our products.

The flax fibers are consolidated into nonwoven fabrics using spunlace technology without any additional chemical binders. Another significant advantage of the flax plant is already evident in its cultivation. This is because growing flax requires significantly less water compared to other natural fibers (such as cotton).* Furthermore, the flax plant has no specific soil requirements and, in suitable growing regions, requires no additional chemical fertilizers. Here, the best flax fibers are obtained worldwide. Developed through a long-term partnership, we source our flax fibers from Normandy in Northern France, an area that is known for its consistent change between sun, rain, wind and, its moderate temperatures.
