Flax is an incredible material used in different applications. Obviously, everybody knows its classical application as linen fabric for clothing and home furnishings. However, flax has also a lot to offer to other industries: transport, construction, sports and entertainment. All this is possible due to its use in composite materials.

Today, flax composites is at the heart of innovation; it is the main natural raw material used in composites. 

Why can flax be adapted so easily to all these applications?

At Kropna, we have known that flax is a material offering endless possibilities. It proves it every day, surprising us with the innovations it offers.  

Flax used in composites offers a number of advantages:

• Composites containing flax have low density, lower than fiberglass and other composite fibers.
• Flax composites have high absorption capacity. They absorb sound vibrations but also act as a damper, absorbing shocks. 
• These absorption properties make it a very good thermal insulator.
• Flax fibers are also an environmentally friendly material. The raw material is 100% renewable and fibers are recyclable, biodegradable and compostable
