Bamboo fiber has good air permeability, water absorption, strong wear resistance and good dyeing and other features, but also has natural antibacterial, antimicrobial, mites, anti-odor and anti-ultraviolet. Bamboo fiber is a real natural environment-friendly green fiber.

The chemical composition of bamboo fiber is mainly cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin, all of them belong to the same high-glycans, the total amount of fiber is more than 90% in the dry weight, others are protein, fat, pectin, tannins, pigments, ash, and most of them exist in the cell cavity or special organelles, directly or indirectly involved in its physiological role. Cellulose is the main material composed of bamboo fiber cells, as it is the significance of the textile fibers. Different bamboo ages will have different cellulose content, tender bamboo has 75%, 1-year-old has 66% and 3-years-old has 58%. The hemicelluloses content in bamboo fiber is generally 14% to 25%. Average content of bamboo is about 22.7% and content also declined when ages are getting older, 2-year-old is 24.9% and 4-year-old is 23.6%.

Bamboo fiber application:

Pure bamboo fiber yarn spinning can produce 60Nm at the maximum, standard count is 24Nm, 36Nm, 48Nm. Pure bamboo yarn is for fabric, mat, bed sheets, curtains, scarves. If blended with polyvinyl alcohol, it can produce thin fabric. Also it can be blended with cotton, wool, linen, silk and chemical fiber for weaving or knitting, producing all kinds of woven fabrics and knitted fabrics. Woven fabric can be used to make jackets, casual wear, suit suits, shirts, bed sheets and towels, bath towels and so on. Knitted fabric suitable for making underwear, shirts, T-shirts, socks, etc. If bamboo fiber content is less than 30%, it is more suitable for underwear, socks, can also be used to make medical care.
