The following research present a comparison of the strength values of composites containing two types
of reinforcements: technical embroidery and woven fabric. Both types of reinforcements were made of
flax roving with a linear mass of 400 tex. The technical embroidery was made on a computerized
embroidery machine ZSK, type JCZA 0109-550. The use of technical embroidery technology is in line
with the idea of sustainable development by minimizing waste generated in the production of composite
reinforcements. Tensile strength and tensile elongation tests were carried out. As a result of the
conducted research, it was proved that the composite containing the technical embroidery as the
reinforcement showed higher tensile strength in the longitudinal direction, compared to the composite
containing the fabric as the reinforcement. On the other hand, the composite containing fabric as a
reinforcement showed a greater elongation.
