- Hygroscopicity and breathability
Under 2000 times electron microscopy, bamboo fibers’cross-sectional concave-convex deformation is filled with approximately elliptical pore, which is highly hollow and has strong capillary effect. It can absorb and evaporate water instantaneously. Among all natural fibers, bamboo fibers’ moisture absorption and dehydration and air permeability rank first among the five fibers, and far-infrared emissivity ranks first. As high as 0.87, it is much better than traditional fiber fabrics, so it accords with the characteristics of thermal comfort. The moisture regain of bamboo fibers is more than 45% and the air permeability of bamboo fibers is 3.5 times stronger than that of cotton fibers when the temperature is 36 degree C and the relative humidity is 100%.
According to the needs of different seasons, using different processes, bamboo fiber products in summer, the human body will feel cool incomparably, 1-2 degrees lower than the temperature of wearing ordinary clothes, while in winter and spring, the use of both fluffy and warm, but also to eliminate excess heat and moisture in the body, no fire, no dryness, warm in winter and cool in summer function is other fibers. It’s incomparable. At the same time, bamboo fiber products have excellent skin affinity, soft touch and refreshing skin.
- Antibacterial
Bamboo fiber products have natural antimicrobial, bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects, because bamboo mask has a unique substance, which is named “bamboo quinone” and has natural antimicrobial, mite, odor and insect functions. Under the microscope, bacteria can multiply in large quantities in cotton, wood and other fibre products. Bacteria on bamboo fibre products can not survive for a long time, but also disappear or decrease in a short time. The bacterial mortality rate in 24 hours is more than 75%.
According to the test results, for Staphylococcus aureus AATCC 6538P and Escherichia coli AATCC 25922, the bactericidal value and bacteriostatic activity of bamboo raw fiber white cloth were higher than that of ramie fiber white cloth.Anti-ultraviolet
Ultraviolet transmittance depends on many factors, such as structure, coverage coefficient, color, chemical additives in processing and sample treatment.
Tests by Shanghai Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences show that the penetration rate of cotton and bamboo fibers is 25% and less than 0.6% for 200-400 nm ultraviolet radiation, respectively. Its ultraviolet resistance is 41.7 times that of cotton. This wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is the most harmful to human body, which is incomparable with other textiles.
- Green environmental protection
The extensiveness and availability of resources are mainly manifested in the short growth period of bamboo, 2-3 years of timber and a long-term planting operation. Bamboo can grow 3 feet high overnight. It can grow and renew rapidly, replace cotton, timber and other resources, and make sustainable use of them. The products made of bamboo fiber can be degraded naturally in the soil and decomposed without any pollution to the environment. It is a natural, green and environmentally friendly textile material.
- Natural Health Care
In Compendium of Materia Medica, there are 24 different medicinal functions and prescriptions of bamboo, and there are nearly 1000 kinds of bamboo prescriptions among the people. Modern medicine holds that the antioxidant compounds in “bamboo element” can effectively remove free radicals and ester peroxides in vivo, and block the strong carcinogen N-nitrite ammonia compound. It can not only significantly improve the immunity of the body, but also have the biological effects of moisturizing the skin, anti-fatigue and anti-aging. Because of the natural antimicrobial function of bamboo fiber products, no synthetic antimicrobial agents need to be added to the products, which will not cause skin allergies. It can significantly improve the immunity of the body, and also has the biological effects of moisturizing the skin, anti-fatigue and anti-aging. It is a real natural green health product.
- Deodorization and adsorption
The special micro-porous structure of bamboo fiber makes it have strong adsorption capacity, which can absorb harmful substances such as formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, ammonia in the air and eliminate bad odor. Because bamboo fibre contains sodium copper chlorophyll, it has good deodorizing function.
