    Abstract

    The relevance of the present research is determined by the need to replace imported raw materials for manufacturing military clothing with Ukrainian raw materials of industrial hemp and oilseed flax. The aim was to analyse the quality properties of bast raw materials and determine their potential for use in military uniforms. In the course of solving the set goals, the methods of complex analysis, synthesis, observation, measurement, comparison and generalisation of the obtained results and information were applied, as well as standard methods generally accepted in the light industry were implemented. It is noted that hemp cottonin and oilseed flax fiber, in contrast to other natural fibers, are more durable, resistant to abrasion, decay, and are characterised by sanitary, antistatic, hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties. It has been revealed that fabrics made of these fibers are durable, have high resistance to ultraviolet radiation, hold colour well, do not fade, etc. The academic paper analyses scientific studies on the use of this raw material for various types of military clothing, protective body armour, and gunpowder production. By determining the main properties of the bast raw materials under study, the possibility of using this raw material in some types of military uniforms was established. The main feature of the structure and components of the research was the systematic and comprehensive study of the quality properties of bast raw materials at all stages of its processing. It was proposed to use oilseed flax fibers and hemp cottonin instead of cotton fibers in fabrics for military purposes. This will reduce the state’s material expenditures on the purchase of fabric for the defense sector and, at the same time, it will help bring the Ukrainian light industry to a new quality level and increase the competitiveness of Ukrainian manufactured goods in the global market. Knowledge of the properties of bast raw materials can help manufacturers improve the quality of fabrics for military purposes
