Fiber length distribution
- Why it matters
- Determines compatibility with opening, carding, and forming equipment.
- Test / declaration method
- Documented length measurement and sampling plan.
Material profile / Structural fiber
Bast fiber
Long, strong fibers from the stalk exterior used in insulation, textiles, papers, and reinforced composites.
Material / industrial applicationMaterial classStructural fiber

Specify this material
State the requirement before asking for a quote.
Methods must be agreed between buyer and supplier. A named parameter without its sampling basis and tolerance is not a complete specification.
Moisture at load
- Why it matters
- Affects shipped weight, storage, and processing.
- Test / declaration method
- Oven-dry method; state temperature and duration.
Hurd and dust content
- Why it matters
- Controls cleaning load and usable yield.
- Test / declaration method
- Mass separation using an agreed screen or air-classification procedure.
Bale density and dimensions
- Why it matters
- Determines payload, unloading, and warehouse fit.
- Test / declaration method
- Weigh and measure each bale or a declared sample.
Tensile properties
- Why it matters
- Supports qualification for textile and composite uses.
- Test / declaration method
- Buyer-approved laboratory method for the intended application.
Typical ranges
Indicative planning figures, not a standard.
Use these only to frame an RFQ. Contract values must come from the supplier's declared lot specification and the buyer's intended process.

Freight profile
Freight is part of the material specification.
- Planning payload
- Supplier-specific; request package dimensions, weight, and load plan
- Practical haul radius
- No universal radius. Compare loaded-mile freight against delivered material value for the receiving ZIP.
