Currently, the scope of application of technical textiles covers more than a hundred functional objects, and new areas and objects arise on the basis of a combination of inventive activity and marketing methodology based on the study of the needs of society. This is what gave impetus to the creation of a new range of household goods. One of the main areas of use of innovative products is the production of non-woven materials of such types as fibrous webs, batting and geotextile materials.Currently, the only source of environmentally friendly raw materials for the production of technical textiles in Ukraine is fiber from bast crops. However, there is currently no data on scientific research and production tests in the field of using bast fibers for the production of technical textiles, as well as on the physical and mechanical characteristics of fibers suitable for the production of technical textiles. Therefore, the issue of developing innovative technologies for the production of technicaltextiles of various functional purposes based on the use of oil flax fiber is particularly relevant. The growing demand in Ukraine for technical textiles can be satisfied if domestic raw materials are used for its production –oil flax fiber, which in terms of physical and mechanical characteristics will meet the requirements of state standards for technical products.Based on the above, we can conclude that the in-depth processing of oil flax straw stems in order to obtain bast, and subsequently fibers, with the necessary physical and mechanical indicators for the production of 59environmentally friendly organic technical textiles of various functional purposes is an important task of the flax processing industry.
