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. Bamboo fiber yarn has good breathability, instant water absorption, strong wear resistance, and good dyeing properties.
Bamboo fiber is a natural fiber extracted from the stem of bamboo, which is a woody fiber obtained from the stem of bamboo. It is a natural, environmentally friendly green fiber that is truly sustainable, produced through mechanical, physical splitting, chemical or biological delamination, opening and combing processes from bamboo, and is a truly natural and environmentally friendly green fiber.
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 and participate directly or indirectly in their physiological functions.
Cellulose is the main substance that makes up the cells of bamboo fiber and is what gives it the ability to be used as a textile fiber. 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 hemicellulose content of bamboo fiber is generally between 14% and 25%, with an average content of approximately 22.7% in moso bamboo, and its content decreases with increasing age, such as 24.9% in two-year-old bamboo and 23.6% in four-year-old bamboo.
The classification of Bamboo Fiber
Natural Bamboo Fiber – Bamboo Original 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.
The benefits of bamboo fiber yarn:
Antibacterial: Bamboo fiber yarn contains “bamboo kun” antibacterial substances, which have the effect of deodorizing and eliminating odor for close-fitting clothing.
Health care: The antioxidant in bamboo element can effectively remove free radicals in the body. Bamboo fiber yarn contains various amino acids that are essential to the human body.
UV resistance: The UV transmittance rate of bamboo fiber yarn is only 1/6, which is 41.7 times that of cotton. Bamboo fiber has no free charge, is anti-static, and can relieve itching.
Moisture absorption and ventilation: Among all fibers, bamboo fiber yarn has good moisture absorption and ventilation, and is known as the “breathing fiber” by experts. Towels made of bamboo fiber yarn can be used for a long time without leaving any odor after wiping sweat.
Comfort: It is warm in winter and cool in summer, and can also remove excess heat and moisture from the body.
Aesthetics: Bamboo fiber yarn has a natural and elegant texture.
Environmental protection: Bamboo fiber yarn is a truly environmentally friendly and green product, with no chemical composition and pollution. Bamboo fiber is 100% biodegradable.
Features of Bamboo Fiber Yarn:
It has the function of deodorizing and removing peculiar smells for close-fitting clothes due to the presence of “bamboo kun” antibacterial substance; bamboo fiber contains various amino acids that are essential to the human body; the UV transmittance of bamboo fiber is only 6/10,000, and it is anti-static and anti-itch; in terms of moisture absorption and ventilation, bamboo fiber is excellent among all fibers and is known as “breathable fiber” by experts. Towels made of bamboo fiber can be used for a long time without leaving any odor. Bamboo fiber is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it can eliminate excess heat and moisture from the body.
Bamboo fiber yarn is a new green and environmentally friendly product. Its cross-section is covered with many large and small pores, which can quickly absorb a large amount of moisture and allow a large amount of gas to pass through. Bamboo fiber yarn fabrics have good moisture absorption and air permeability, soft hand feeling, good drape, cool and smooth touch, bright and vivid color after dyeing. When blended or interwoven with cotton, fine denier polyester, and tencel, and subjected to pre-shrinking treatment in finishing, the fabric size is more stable, and the water washing shrinkage rate is moderate. Therefore, it is the first choice for making shirts, socks, and casual wear, and it is also suitable for making home textile products.
Main uses of bamboo fiber yarn:
Bamboo fiber yarn is used for clothing fabrics, summer mats, bed sheets, curtains, scarves, etc. When blended with viscose, it can produce lightweight clothing fabrics.
When blended with cotton, wool, linen, silk, and chemical fibers, it can be used for weaving or knitting to produce various specifications of woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. Woven fabrics can be used to make jackets, casual wear, suits, shirts, bed sheets, towels, and bath towels, while knitted fabrics are suitable for making vests, T-shirts, socks, etc.
Bamboo-cotton blended yarn with a bamboo content of less than 30% is more suitable for socks and can also be used to make care products.
