WHY USE HEMP?
Eco
Hemp is environmentally friendly fibre, the cultivation of which does
not require the use of herbicides or sprays.
Durability
Hemp fibre is extremely strong and robust having twice the tensile strength
of cotton. When woven, hemp fabrics will outlast the cotton equivalent
by many years.
Thermal Properties
Hemp's hollow fibres provide natural thermal insulating qualities. Hemp
has the best ratio of heat capacity of all natural fibres, providing
natural thermal qualities.
U.V. Resistance
Hemp filters up to 95% of the suns harmful ultraviolet rays, far exceeding
cotton or linen. This is vital for Australasia's ozone depleted environment.
