Tensile Strength
The fibres of the flax plant are very strong. When the fibre strands are together like a normal piece of flax the tensile strength becomes very high making this great for home projects.
Hardness
Flax is some what hard as the fibre strands are joint very closely together. It is also quite durable to bumps and scratches.
Ductility
Flax is very ductile as it only has a thin layer of fibres. These fibres are very strong allowing the flax piece to be bent and folded.
Shear Strength
Flax is well known for its shear strength. It is a very strong plant with long fibre strands built close together. The shear strength of flax makes this great material for tasks such as weaving.
