Bamboo fibre

Bamboo fiber is a kind of cellulose fiber extracted from natural bamboo, which is the fifth largest natural fiber after cotton, hemp, wool and silk. The constituent unit of bamboo fiber products can be monomer fiber cells or fiber bundles. Bamboo fiber has good air permeability, instant water absorption, strong wear resistance and good dyeing properties. It also has natural antibacterial, bacteriostatic, acarid, deodorant and UV resistant functions. It is pointed out that bamboo fiber is a kind of natural environment-friendly green fiber in the true sense. Bamboo fiber textiles are favored by consumers because they completely copy the inherent characteristics of bamboo fiber, and the demand for products is increasing year by year. Green and low-carbon are becoming the fashion of life.



Features of bamboo fiber products

Bamboo fiber products have natural antibacterial, bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects, because there is a unique substance in bamboo, which is named "Zhukun", and has natural bacteriostatic, acarid, odor and insect resistant functions. Under the microscope, bacteria can multiply in cotton, wood and other fiber products, while bacteria on bamboo fiber products can not survive for a long time, but can disappear or reduce in a short time, and the bacterial mortality rate in 24 hours is more than 75%. The new discovery of the Japanese famous organization increased the added value of this product, and the above results were also confirmed by the detection of the China Cotton Textile Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center and the Shanghai Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (cotton towels are easy to smell in summer, which is the result of thousands of times of bacteria breeding). However, cotton products themselves do not have antibacterial and bacteriostatic functions. The reason why they become moldy, smelly and sticky is that bacteria multiply on towels in large numbers. The reason why bamboo fiber towel does not have this phenomenon is that it has antibacterial and bacteriostatic functions, and bacteria cannot reproduce or even survive on it. Therefore, even in a warm and humid environment, bamboo fiber towels will not become moldy, taste unchanged and sticky.

Bamboo fiber application instructions

Today, the pure bamboo fiber can produce 60Nm single yarn, and the conventional count is 24Nm, 36Nm, 48Nm. Pure bamboo yarn is used for clothing fabrics, sleeping mats, bed sheets, curtains, scarves, etc. If it is blended with vinylon, it can produce lightweight clothing fabrics. It can also be blended with cotton, wool, linen, silk and chemical fibers. Knitted fabrics are suitable for making underwear, undershirts, T-shirts, socks, etc. Bamboo cotton blended yarn with bamboo fiber content below 30% is more suitable for underwear, socks, and can also be used to make relief care products. It is reported that a Japanese bamboo product company (BAN) has developed the technology of extracting fiber from green bamboo with a blaster. The technology is characterized by high temperature cooking above 170-180 ℃. Then, the instant pressure drop makes the bamboo explode. Repeat several times to decompose the hemicellulose connecting the bamboo fiber. After more than two hours of treatment, 35% - 40% of the weight of bamboo fiber can be obtained. Further crushing processing can produce cotton like and wool like fibers, which are slightly harder to handle than natural cotton and wool. Bamboo fiber can be used as relief products by its characteristics, and wool type bamboo fiber can be made into non-woven fabric for interior decoration of automobiles.

Market prospect of bamboo fiber

The position of China textile market in the world cannot be ignored. From 1997 to 2007, the annual average sales revenue of China textile market increased by 10.67%. In the future, China's home textile market will also develop at a higher speed. However, in such a rapid development process, there will be more problems that have to arouse our thinking. In the China textile market, the homogenization competition is very serious. The result of similar products later led to a price war, while ignoring the development of new products and opening up the "blue ocean market" became the bottleneck of many entrepreneurs' development. Corresponding to this is the diversification of consumer choices and the increasing aesthetic level. Today, there is no leading brand in the home textile industry, and the brand status is not optimistic. To change this situation, industry insiders analyze that the fundamental way to solve these problems is to start from the root and occupy a wider market with new product styles, new management methods and new brand awareness. However, in order to occupy such a huge home textile market, China's existing technical level is not enough. It is the key to break through the bottleneck of home textile industry to actively introduce foreign technology and create new home textile products.
