Bamboo fibre

Bamboo Fibre is a kind of regenerated cellulose fiber. Firstly, bamboo pulp is refined from bamboo through a process of hydrolysis-alkalization and multi-phase bleaching, then process Bamboo pulp into bamboo fiber. Repeated test has proved It has a strong durability, stability and tenacity. And the thinness and whiteness degree of bamboo fibre is similar to classic viscose. Further more it owns high abrasion-proof capacity. Bamboo fibre spins nicely. This fiber is a natural cellulose fiber, can achieve natural degradation in the soil, and it won't cause any pollution to the environment. Bamboo can be spun purely or blended with other materials such as cotton, hemp, silk, Lyocell(Tencel)), Modal, cotton chemical fiber and so no. After hi-tech disposal, bamboo fibre is thinner than hair. It has a round and smooth surface. Thus it has no stimulation against human skin.

Processing a Bamboo fabric

Light sergeing, enzyme desizing, moderate bleaching and semi-mercerizing should be applied to the bamboo fabric during its dying and finishing process, which also avoid drastic condition and use small mechanical tension.

1. Sergeing

moderate condition

2. Desizing

should be consolidate, desizing rate should be over 80%.

3. Scouring

pure bamboo normally need no scouring, sometimes wash it with a little alkaline soap. The scouring process should be made in terms of contents blended with cotton. When pure bamboo fabrics are under scouring, the alkali should not be over 10g/liter but be applied in accordance with the thickness of fabrics.

4. Bleaching

the processing should be made in terms of the specification and thickness of fabrics.

5. Mercerizing

the fabrics are normally free of mercerizing due to their sound luster and bad anti-alkaline. However, some cases are found in order to increase their absorbance capacity to dyestuff.

6. Dying

It had better to use active dyestuff during dying process, and the alkali should not be over 20g/liter, the temperature should not over 100c. During drying process, low temperature and light tension are applied.

7. the alkali should not over 8g/l in yarn-dying,.

The above mentioned data are just for your reference, you should adjust them accordingly.

Bamboo - natural antimicrobial finish

Bamboo fiber has particular and natural functions of anti-bacteria, bacteriostasis and deodorization It is validated by Japan Textile Inspection Association that, even after fifty times of washing, bamboo fiber fabric still possesses excellent function of anti-bacteria, bacteriostasis. Its test result shows over 70% death rate after bacteria being incubated on bamboo fiber fabric. Bamboo fiber's natural anti-bacteria function differs greatly from that of chemical antimicrobial .The later often tend to cause Skin allergy when added to apparel.
