The structural characteristics of linen paper

The raw material of natural, environmentally friendly and degradable flax paper is taken from the stems of annual flax plants, which is a renewable resource. Moreover, the cultivation of flax does not require the extensive application of pesticides and chemical fertilizers. No excessive chemical bleaching agents need to be added during the production process, and the fiber extraction is milder. Discarded linen paper can rapidly degrade in the natural environment without causing plastic pollution or leaving harmful residues. Meanwhile, some products use recycled linen as raw materials and can obtain environmental protection certifications such as FSC, which is in line with the modern concept of green and sustainable development.

The natural porous structure of flax fibers endows paper with excellent air permeability. It will not breed mold or be infested by insects due to moisture and humidity during long-term storage, making it especially suitable for books, archives, and artworks that need to be preserved for a long time. At the same time, flax fibers have natural antibacterial properties, which can reduce the erosion of paper by microorganisms and further extend its service life.
