13 Peat Fibre

PEAT FIBRE
Fibres have been obtained from peat since 1890 when G. H. Berand, London, patented a process for the manufacture of " Berandine," a fluffy, fibrous mass of peat. Later several other methods were patented in Austria and Germany for producing fibre by decortication. Jegeaus of Goteborg, Sweden, made a study of such processes and the fibres produced were used to a limited extent for hygienic clothes, floor covers, stuffing, etc. The strength of the fibre is claimed to be much greater than that of wool, and as it is a bad conductor of heat some experts believe it to be well suited for clothes (see Petanella)
