APPLICATION

Jute fibers are used alone or blended with other types of fibers to make twine and rope. Jute butts, the
coarse ends of the plants, are used to make inexpensive fabrics. Conversely, very fine threads of jute can
be separated out and made into imitation silk. As jute fibers are also being used to make pulp and paper,
and with increasing concern over forest destruction for the wood pulp used to make most paper, the
importance of jute for this purpose may increase. Jute has a long history of use in the sackings, carpets,
wrapping fabrics (cotton bale), and construction fabric manufacturing industries. Jute is used in the
manufacture of a number of fabrics, such as Hessian cloth, sacking, scrim, carpet backing cloth (CBC), and
canvas. Hessian, lighter than sacking, is used for bags, wrappers, wall-coverings, upholstery, and home
furnishings. Sacking, a fabric made of heavy jute fibers, has its use in the name. CBC made of jute comes
in two types. Primary CBC provides a tufting surface, while secondary CBC is bonded onto the primary
backing for an overlay. Jute packaging is used as an eco-friendly substitute (Afrin, 2011).

ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGE

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGE
1. Great antistatic properties 1. The crease resistance of Jute is very low.
2. Low thermal conductivity. 2. Drape Property is not good enough.
3. Moisture Regain properties is good 3. Create Shade effect and becomes
enough (about 13.75%). yellowish if sunlight is used.
4. 100% Biodegradable; so it is environment 4. If Jute is wetted it lose its strength.
friendly fiber like Cotton.
5. Cheap in market.
6. Can be widely used in Agriculture Sector,
Textile Sector, Woven Sector, nonwoven
Sector.
7. Jute Fiber can be blended with Natural
and Synthetic fibers.

APPLICATION

The application of wooden barrel is mainly for Fermented Product. Wooden barrel used to make and store
fermentation product such as wine, beer, whiskey, soy, etc. Fermentation occurs when microbes
breakdown sugar into alcoholic substance. Nowadays the use of wooden barrel become more and more.
Wooden barrel used to beverage maturing, wine, sherry, whiskey, brandy, tequila, balsamic vinegar,
tabasco sauce, beer, soft drinks, water storage, and oil storage (Cutler, 2011).

ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGE

ADVANTAGES
1. Imbue wines with complexity
2. Rich and Creamy flavor
3. Delicate and Integrated oak characteristic
4. Better aging capabilities
5. Good texture
6. Low cost
7. Easier to store, store the fermented
product and doing aging at once
DISADVANTAGE
1. Time - Consuming
2. High volume and eat some space to
storage
3. Because it traditional, there are no
specific parameter to measure the
uniformity of product.
4. The product become variative and have
different specification even in the same
controlled time and atmosphere
