Abstract:
Pine needles of Chir pine (Pinus roxburgia) were collected from Batrasi forest area. A chemical method has been developed for the extraction of pine fibres. Physical properties of pine fibres such as linear density, strength (dry, wet), tenacity, tensile strength ultimate fibre diameter and length were determined. Moreover, chemical composition of the fibres such as cellulose, lignin, extractives, moisture and ash were also determined. The properties of pine fibres were compared with other vegetable fibres for assessing the end uses.
