The author presents the results of experiments involving three types of bast fabrics with various amounts of lignin, e.g., hemp, industrial grade linen canvas and semi-bleached linen. The fabrics were treated with an aqueous solution of mercury The fabrics were treated with an aqueous solution of mercury acetate in order to make them antiblastic. The dependence of the degree of mercurization on the molar ratio of reaction components, the type of solvent, the temperature, and the duration of the reaction were studied in order to find the best conditions for the treatment.
