Technology

The diversified products development and improvement activities of jute have led to a wide range of achievements. The technologies developed by scientists of Bangladesh have immense potential to explore jute at home and abroad. Technologies for production of value added products from jute like low cost and light weight jute shopping bags which can be used up to 6-8 Months and it can carry 10-12 kg weight. Innovation of Novotex blanket and fabric, denim, door mat, floor mat, prayer mat etc. are important items of product. Developed process for jute-cotton, jute-synthetic union fabrics, blended fabric and wall covering with jute fiber and Knitting wool substitute with jute fiber for preparing warm clothes, blankets, sweater, cardigan etc. are the other development activitiees.

Jute Hand Bags

Developed chemical processes for production of cellulose derivatives like Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) and other cellulose derivatives etc. Production technology of low count jute yarns and Knitting technology of jute products are two important innovations of the scientists. Jute geo-textile which is used for many useful purposes. It is used to protect against the erosion of the road sides, hill slope and river bank. It is aloso used for development of movable irrigation liner. Production technologies of rot proof jute fabric for the preparation of nursery sheet and nursery pot, production of different types of office bags, ladies bags using jute fabric. Bleaching methods for Jute fiber, yarn and fabrics and their products including photo stable bleaching. Simultaneous dyeing and finishing of jute fabrics by cross linking technique. Fire retardant jute and jute products are used for the production of interior parts of car. UV-protection jute and jute products, photo-stable dyes and dyeing for jute and jute products are other important development of technological research
