What's more, bamboo fiber is biodegradable textile material. As a natural cellulose fiber, It can be 100% biodegraded in soil by microorganism and sunshine. The decomposition process doesn't cause any pollution 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".

Bamboo fiber fabric Production flow:

Bamboo fiber fabric production flow: bamboo - thick pulp - fine pulp - bamboo fiber - bamboo yarn - fabric

Bamboo Fiber is a kind of regenerated cellulose fiber, which is produced from raw materials of bamboo pulp. Firstly, bamboo pulp is refined from bamboo through a process of hydrolysis-alkalization and multi-phase bleaching. Then process Bamboo pulp into bamboo fiber. Repeated test has proved that it has a strong durability, stability and tenacity. And the thinness and whiteness degree of bamboo fiber is similar to classic viscose.

Further more it owns high abrasion-proof capacity. Bamboo fiber spins nicely. This fiber is a natural cellulose fiber, can achieve natural degradation in the soil, and it won't cause any pollution to the environment. Bamboo can be spun purely or blended with other materials such as cotton, hemp, silk, Lyocell (Tencel)), Modal cotton chemical fiber and so no.

After hi-tech disposal, bamboo fiber is thinner than hair. It has a round and smooth surface. Thus it has no stimulation against human skin.

Dyeing and Finishing of Bamboo Textile

Light sergeing, enzyme desizing, and moderate bleaching and semi-mercerizing should be applied to the bamboo fabric during its dyeing and finishing process, which also avoid drastic condition and use small mechanical tension.

1. Sergeing: Carried out in Moderate condition.

2. Desizing: Should be consolidate, desizing rate should be over 80%.

3. Scouring: Pure bamboo normally need no scouring, sometimes wash it with a little alkaline soap. The scouring process should be made in terms of contents blended with cotton. When pure bamboo fabrics are under scouring, the alkali should not be over 10g/liter but be applied in accordance with the thickness of fabrics.

4. Bleaching: The processing should be made in terms of the specification and thickness of fabrics.

5. Mercerizing: The fabrics are normally free of mercerizing due to their sound luster and bad anti-alkaline. However, some cases are found in order to increase their absorbance capacity to dyestuff.

6. Dyeing: It is better to use active dyestuff during dying process, and the alkali should not be over 20g/liter, the temperature should not over 100c. During drying process, low temperature and light tension are applied.
