BAMBOO FIBER:

Bamboo fiber yarn is a type of cellulose fiber extracted from the natural growth of bamboo and is the fifth natural fiber after cotton, hemp, wool, and silk. Bamboo fiber yarn has good breathability, instant water absorption, strong wear resistance, and good dyeing properties. It also has natural antibacterial, bacteriostatic, mite removal, odor resistance, and UV resistance functions. Bamboo fiber yarn textile products are highly favored by consumers due to their inherent properties, and the demand for these products continues to increase each year.

THE COMPOSITION OF BAMBOO FIBER

The chemical composition of bamboo fiber, also known as bamboo viscose, mainly consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, all of which are polysaccharides and account for over 90% of the dry weight of the fiber. The other components include proteins, fats, pectin, tannins, pigments, and ash, most of which are located in the cell lumen or specialized organelles.

The cellulose content of bamboo varies depending on the age of the bamboo. For example, young bamboo may have a cellulose content of 75%, while one-year-old bamboo may have a content of 66%, and three-year-old bamboo may have a content of 58%.

THE CLASSIFICATION OF BAMBOO FIBER

Natural Bamboo Fiber :

Bamboo Original Fiber is a natural bamboo fiber made using a combination of physical and chemical methods.

Bamboo Original Fiber is a new type of natural fiber, made using a combination of physical and chemical methods. It differs fundamentally from bamboo pulp fiber, which belongs to chemical fibers. The successful development of Bamboo Original Fiber marks the birth of a new natural fiber that is in line with the national industry development policy. Natural Bamboo Original Fiber has excellent properties such as moisture absorption, breathability, antibacterial and deodorizing effects, and UV protection.

The production process includes the steps of bamboo logs → bamboo chips → steaming of bamboo chips → crushing and decomposition → biological enzyme degumming → fiber combing → textile fiber.

Chemical Bamboo Fiber -Bamboo Pulp Fiber:

Bamboo pulp fiber is made by turning bamboo chips into pulp, then making pulp into pulp cakes and wet-spinning them into fibers. The production process is similar to that of viscose. However, the natural characteristics of bamboo are destroyed during the manufacturing process, and the fiber’s deodorizing, antibacterial, and UV protection functions are significantly reduced.

Chemical Bamboo Fiber -Bamboo Charcoal Fiber:

Bamboo charcoal fiber is made by adding nano-grade bamboo charcoal powder to viscose spinning solution and then spinning the fiber using a process similar to conventional spinning.
