Hemp fiber is very strong. It is one of the strongest natural fibers in the world, but is also very flexable. Hemp fiber is very absorbent, absorbing 30% more than straw. Hemp is naturally antibacterial, durable and has unique structural properties, giving it high-load bearing capacity
Hemp bast fibers can be between approximately 0.91 m (3 ft) and 4.6 m (15 ft) long, running the entire length of the plant. Later in the processing the fibers can be cut into shorter pieces.
Hemp bast fiber posesses a wide range of industrial, commercial and construction applications spanning from construction materials to textiles.
