Bamboo fiber has particular and natural functions of anti-bacteria,
bacteriostasis 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, bacteriostasis. Its test result shows over
70% death rate after bacteria being incubated on bamboo fiber fabric. Bamboo
fiber's natural anti-bacteria function differs greatly from that of chemical
antimicrobial. The later often tend to cause skin allergy when added to
apparel.

Breathable and Cool
What's notable of bamboo fiber is its unusual breathability
and 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 humans 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.
Green & Biodegradable
As a regenerated cellulose fiber, bamboo fiber
was 100% made from bamboo through high-tech process. The raw material bamboo is
well-selected from non-polluted region. They are all 3-4 year old new bamboo,
of good character and ideal temper. The whole distilling and producing process in our plant is green process without any pollution. Our company manufactures
bamboo fiber strictly according to ISO9000 and ISO 14000. It produces natural and eco-friendly fiber without any Chemical additive.
