Constructing parts of car bodies from hemp, replacing plastic food packaging with linen packaging. The future with Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale has become reality with its composite materials in linen and hemp fibre, the only sustainable and ethical alternatives because they are organic, biodegradable and eco-compatible.
Lightness, thermal and acoustic insulation, improved vibration absorption: these are just some of the characteristics that make Linificio e Canapificio Nazionale’s innovative composite materials a winning choice in many industrial sectors such as automotive, aeronautics, rail and sports equipment.
In addition, their exceptional versatility and resistance makes them the ideal solutions also for acoustic systems and in design.
1
Lightness: flax fibre has a density (1.5 g/cm3) almost two times less than fibreglass.
2
Higher specific rigidity than fibreglass.
3
Thermal and acoustic insulation superior to that of carbon fibre.
4
Five times less environmental impact than fibreglass and 25 times less than carbon fibre.

1
Exceptional resistance and versatility: its surprising ability to adapt makes it more resistant than many other plants.
2
It generates well-being in the soil: it guarantees from 5 to 6 t / ha of plant biomass with significant positive effects on the accumulation of organic substances in the soil and many more environmental benefits.
3
High energy savings: it requires less water and energy consumption for cultivation than other crops
4
Thermal and acoustic insulation superior to that of carbon fibre.
