The flax fiber is straight and smooth. In the 50 times magnified projection, it looks like bamboo without distortion of cotton and wool fibers. This feature makes the textiles with fine dust or dirt easy to remove because the dust cannot find a hiding place.

Long term exposure to ultraviolet radiation can damage human body. The hemicellulose contained in flax textile products is the best material to absorb ultraviolet rays. Hemicellulose is actually immature cellulose. The hemicellulose content of flax fiber is more than 18%, which is several times higher than that of cotton fiber. When it becomes clothing, it can protect the skin from ultraviolet rays.
