Silika je pri meni že dolgo out, kot tudi jeklena mrežica. Organska vata ali rayon je trenutno poceni in čim majn škodljiva varianta.
Ta Ramie trava zgleda zanimivo. Vpijanje je izjemno hitro
Advantages of Ramie as a Fabric
Resistant to bacteria, mildew, alkalis, rotting, light, insect attack
Extremely absorbent and therefore comfortable to wear, especially during warm weather
Has natural stain resisting ability with ease of stain/soil removal similar to that of linen (and this is better than cotton)
Not harmed by mild acids
Dyes fairly easily
Good wet-fastness in laundering - though dark colors may lose their vibrancy over repeated launderings
Increases in strength when wet
Withstands high water temperatures during laundering
Smooth lustrous appearance improves with washing
Keeps its shape and does not shrink
Can be bleached
Disadvantages of Ramie as a Fabric
Low in elasticity
Low abrasion resistance
Wrinkles easily (but application of wrinkle-resistant finishes or blending with synthetic fibers can reduce the problem in woven fabrics)
Stiff and brittle
The fiber is high cost which reduces its competitiveness against other textile fibers - this high cost is due to high labor requirement for production, harvesting and decortication
There is a need to de-gum the fiber prior to processing
