1. Flax roving is compatible with epoxy and polyester resins.
2. Flax reinforcement can be used directly however to obtain the highest performance in composite it is recommended to dry fibers prior to impregnation (110o C / 15min or 60o C / 4h).
3. For textile manufacturing (weaving, knitting etc.) it is important to respect the requirements for natural fiber processing (air relative humidity ~64%, temperature ~22o C).
