What is bamboo fiber ?

Bamboo fiber is extracted from the natural growth of bamboo cellulose fibers, following the cotton, linen, wool, silk's fifth-largest natural fiber. Bamboo fiber has good air permeability, instantaneous water absorption, strong wear resistance and good dyeing and other characteristics, has natural antibacterial, antimicrobial, in addition to mites, odor and anti-ultraviolet function.
Chemical composition of the bamboo fiber is mainly cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, three belong to the same high-glycans, accounting for more than 90% of the total dry weight of the fibers, followed by protein, fat, pectin, tannins, pigments, ash, most present in the cell or a specific organelle lumen, directly or indirectly involved in its physiological role.
Cellulose is the main substance of the original bamboo fiber cells, but also the significance of textile fibers as it lies. Due to the different age bamboo, its cellulose content is also different, such as bamboo tender bamboo is 75%, 1-year-old was 66%, 3-year-old was 58%. Bamboo fiber hemicellulose content is generally 14% to 25%, the average content of about 22.7% bamboo and bamboo with increasing age, and its content also declined, as 2-year growth of 24.9% bamboo, 4 years 23.6%.
Properties & Features:

1.Bamboo fiber is a bast fiber.
2.In early times it is used as arrows, paper, building material etc.
3.There are approximately 1000 species of Bamboo
4.No need of pesticides
5.It reaches about 300m in height
6.Growing bamboo is considered eco-friendly agriculture
7.Softer than cotton, with a texture similar to a blend of cashmere and silk.
8.Because the cross-section of the fiber is filled with various micro-gaps and micro-holes, it has much better moisture absorption and ventilation. Moisture absorbency is twice than that of cotton with extraordinary soil release.
9.Natural antibacterial elements in bamboo fiber keep bacteria away from bamboo fabrics.
10.Garment of bamboo fiber can absorb and evaporate human sweat in a split of second just like breathing. Such a garment makes people feel extremely cool, comfortable and never sticking to skin even in hot summer.
11.100% bamboo yarns show a great elasticity i.e. nearly 20%. Even in 100% bamboo woven fabrics a remarkable elasticity can be obtained wherein the use of elastomeric fibers like elastanes may be eliminated.
12.Bamboo fabrics need less dyestuff than cotton, modal or viscose. It seems that the absorption of dyestuffs is remarkably better. Bamboo absorbs the dyestuffs faster and shows the colors better.
13.Anti-ultraviolet nature of bamboo fibre has made it suitable for summer clothing, especially for the protection of pregnant ladies and children from the effect of ultraviolet radiation.
14Product of bamboo fibre is eco-friendly and bio-degradable.Chemical
Use:
1, bamboo fiber yarn fabrics for clothing, towels, sheets, curtains, scarves, etc., such as the use of PVA blended approach produces thin fabric.
2, with cotton, wool, linen, silk and chemical fiber blend, for weaving or knitting, producing a variety of woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. Woven fabrics can be used to make curtains, jackets, casual wear, suits suits, shirts, sheets and towels, bath towels, etc. Knitted fabrics suitable for making underwear, T-shirts, T-shirts, socks and so on.
3, bamboo fiber content of 30% or less of bamboo cotton blended yarn is more suitable for underwear, socks, also can be used for the production of medical care.
