Chemical Products |
|
Cellulose derivatives of jute are used in various
applications like medicine, toiletries, chemicals for food products, etc. Micro
Crystalline Cellulose (MCC) and Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) of jute help in producing
these. |
|
Micro Crystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a non-fibrous
form of cellulose. It is prepared from jute
and jute waste by chemical processing. Different
grades of MCC may be produced according to need. |
|
MCC of various grades are used in Pharmaceutical
formulations like tablet, capsule and suspension. In
textile industry, it is used as a thickener. CMC,
produced from jute cellulose is used in the preparation of detergents and as preservatives
of some food items. |

Fire proof Jute Fabrics |
|
Jute fabrics are made fireproof by treating them
in a composite solution admixed with different fire retardant chemicals along with some
additives. It fulfils the requirement of flameproof fabrics. These fabrics are suitable
for all specialized uses wherever fireproofing or insulation is desirable. |

Nursery Sheet / Nursery Pot |
|
A simple technology has been developed for the
modification of lightweight hessian into nursery sheet, which is used in agro-textile as
mulching and pot culture in horticulture farm. These are increasingly being used to
replace polythene nursery pots in various Agricultural and Forest departments. The most
important attributes of the jute nursery pots are: |
|
|
 |
Its lifespan can be designed from 6 to 24 months |
|
|
Seedlings can be planted along with the nursery pot |
|
|
Have high moisture retention capacity |
|
|
Prevent stagnation of water |
|
|
Help vegetative growth |
|
|
Increase soil fertility i.e. soil nutrient from bio-decay. |
