Green & Biodegradable


As a regenerated cellulose fiber; bamboo fiber is 100% made from bamboo through a high-tech process. The raw material bamboo is well-selected from non-polluted regions in Yunnan and Sicuan Province, China. They are all 3-4 years old new bamboo, of good character and ideal temper. The whole distilling and production process is a relatively green process without pollution. The supplier company manufactures bamboo fiber strictly according to ISO 9000and ISO 14000.


More important, bamboo fiber is a unique biodegradable textile material. As a natural cellulose fiber it can be 100% biodegraded in soil by micro organisms and sunshine. The decomposition process does not cause any pollution in the environment. "Bamboo fiber comes from nature and completely returns to nature in the end" Bamboo fiber is praised as "the natural, green and eco friendly new type textile material of 21st century".


Natural Anti-Bacteria


It is a common fact that bamboo can thrive naturally without using any pesticide. Scientists found that bamboo owns a unique anti -bacteria and bacteriostatic bio-agent named"bamboo Kun". This substance is combined with bamboo cellulose during the process of being manufactured into bamboo fiber.


Bamboo fiber has particular and natural functions of anti-bacteria, bacteriostatic 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. Its test result show over 70% elimination rate after bacteria being incubated on bamboo fiber fabric.


Bamboo fibers natural anti-bacteria function differs greatly from that of chemical antimicrobial .The later often tend to cause skin allergy when added to apparel.


Bamboo Fiber Gives Your Skin a Chance to Breath Free


What is notable of bamboo fiber is its unusual ability to breathe and its coolness. Because the cross-section of the bamboo fiber is filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes, it has much better moisture absorption and ventilation.


With this unparalleled micro-structure, bamboo fiber apparel can absorb and evaporate human sweat in a split second. Just like breathing, such garments make people feel extremely cool and comfortable in the hot summer.


It is never sticking to skin even in hot summer. According to authoritative testing figures, apparels made from bamboo fibers are 1-2 degrees lower than normal apparels in hot summer. Apparel made from bamboo fiber is crowned as Air Conditioning Dress.


The Applications of Bamboo Fiber


Bamboo fabrics are made from pure bamboo fiber yarns which have excellent wet permeability, moisture vapour transmission property, soft hand, better drape, easy dying and splendid colours.It is a newly founded, great prospective green fabric.
