Hessian-Jute Cloth and Bags

Silbert & Company also supply industries with bags made from Hessian and Jute as well as rolls of Hessian and Jute fabric in various industry specific widths. Hessian cloth (or just ‘hessian’) is often used to make sacks and bags for industrial purposes. Its breathability makes it suitable for carrying foodstuffs (coffee beans) as it is less prone to condensation and associated spoilage of the contents than other materials and also durable enough to withstand rough handling in transit. It has found a use as a wet covering to prevent rapid moisture loss in setting of cement and concrete in the construction industry, and the landscaping and horticultural industries for ground stabilisation due to its biodegradability. When more advanced technologies emerged Jute Fibre was spun into better quality yarn and woven to make Jute cloth. It is used predominantly for the manufacture of traditional products such as Hessian cloth, sacks, carpet backing and other floor covering materials. Jute can also be used for composites, geotextiles, paper pulp, and decorative materials.
