Fibres are commonly characterized by having a length at least 100 times their diameter. There are four distinct fibre categories  [Pg.90]

Seeds are one source of vegetable fibres, oils, and protein. Oil-bearing seeds are mechanically squeezed in a seed expeller or the oil is extracted with a solvent leaving behind the pulp and fibre syn. seed cake, oil cake, or meal.

Certain vegetable fibres are mentioned directly in the transportation regulations  [Pg.91]

There are many reasons why animal, vegetable, or mineral oils are associated with fibre products  [Pg.91]

Under appropriate circumstances the oils associated with fibres undergo oxidation and other reactions in the presence of air or through self-oxidation as they dry. These reactions can generate sufficient heat to cause the fibres (many of which are made of combustible materials and all of which have high relative surface area on which reactions can proceed) to reach the point of spontaneous combustion (linters present a particular risk of spontaneous [Pg.92]
