Natural composites
development
Coir –
as a source
Jute – as source
Jute – Thermoplastic composites for foot ware
They can replace leather, leather board,
synthetic material
Better shape retention , mouldability,
flexibility etc.
A project from IJIRA, Kolkata
Jute – Coir/bamboo composite
Boards as wood substitute
Thin layer of jute fibres impregnated with
phenolic resin is used – wood like finish
Jute + rubber wood + coir = replacement for
plywood
Project launched by Natura Division of M/S
Duroflex limited

Bamboo
flat boards and particle boards
as a source as replacement

The rock is so hot underground that ice has to be pumped down to cool the
tunnels (a slurry supply accounts for 6000 tons of ice a day)
Mponeng excavates 6000 tons of rock per day and each rock yields 0.35
ounces from a ton of rock (i.e 28.35 gms * 0.35 = 9.92 gms of gold per ton of
rock)
