Flax provides high levels of performance, coupled with the ease of processing
normally associated with glass-reinforced materials. The materials use low-twist
technology to provide a combination of sustainability, performance and
processability not previously seen in composites. Compared to Glass Fibre
composites, Flax offers reduced weight, improved environmental impact,
vibration damping, similar specific stiffness and safer handling.
