Drying of natural fibre products Nearly all natural fibre products contain residual water which is necessary to remove but cannot be removed without additional thermal energy to evaporate this water fraction. This is conducted in the drying phase of processing. The main product groups where drying is needed and carried out are: Wood and timber
