- 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.
