How bamboo fibre textile make you have a comfortable, natural and healthy lifestyle?

Bamboo fibre is a kind of innovative fibre extracted from the renewable natural high-quality bamboos and processed by special technology. It is the fifth natural fibre following as cotton, linen, silk and wool. Due to being naturally degraded by animalcule and sunlight in the soil and not pollutant to environment, it is a kind of environmental protection textile material with the functions of natural anti-bacteria and anti-ultraviolet, moisture absorption and others, and it is known as “breathing eco-fibre" and "queen of fibre". Moreover, bamboo fibre fabric is soft and smooth, straight and it has beautiful and mild colors, which makes it become the new star in international markets.

Natural anti-bacterial & odor resisting
Scientists discover that bamboo has a special material named "Bamboo Kun" which has the natural functions of anti-bacteria, anti-mites, anti-odor and anti-pests, especially to Staphylococcus aureus, trichomonad, coliform and MARSA. In the test of the International Authority Institute SGS: Observed under the microscope, bacteria will be greatly reproduced in the cotton and wood and other fibre products, but the same number of them in the bamboo fibre products, the mortality rate of bacteria reaches more than 75% within 24 hours. Other fabric materials cannot compare with bamboo fibre in anti-bacteria effects. In addition, the sweat coming from body produces bacteria and therefore gives out odor. Bamboo fibre can effectively suppress the reproduction of bacteria and thus achieve the effect of odor resisting.

Moisture absorption & breathable
Bamboo fibre is porous, full of oval-shaped pores on the cross section. This special structure determines that it absorbs and evaporates a large number of water in a moment, and its water absorption is two times than the cotton. Obviously bamboo fibre has good functions of absorbing and reducing dampness, which can automatically adjust the balance of dampness inside human body and keep healthy. In summer, it is cool and breathable, however in winter, it is soft and comfortable, reducing the redundant heat and moisture inside body, suitable for both senior people and children. Bamboo fibre’s ventilation and dampness absorbing ability rank first in all textile fibres.

Smooth & soft
Bamboo fibre fabrics have the feature of thinness and softness, brightness and mild color as well as special elasticity and straightness. It’s even softer than cotton and similar to silk, which makes it the first choice in home textile.

Anti-ultraviolet rays
The test conducted by Shanghai Physics Institute of Chinese Academy of Sciences proves that bamboo fibre products can shield 98% of sun ultraviolet lights with wavelength 200-400nm (the ultraviolet radiation of this wavelength harms human body most), It is the natural barrier for your body to protect your skin from UV damage. Bamboo fibre’s penetration of ultraviolet radiation is only 0.06% while cotton’s penetration is 25%, which means bamboo fibre’s anti-ultraviolet radiation ability is 400 times of that of cotton.

Reducing static electricity
The rubbing between clothes and skin may produce static electricity. Too much static electricity will cause fatigue and uneasiness. Tests prove that the static electricity generated by bamboo fabrics is much less than that produced by synthetic fibre, silk or cotton. Bamboo fibre has the best touching feeling for skin and makes your skin feel soft and comfortable.

The natural healthcare function
The number of negative ion in Bamboo fibre reaches 6000/cubic cm, which is equal to the thickness of negative ion in wilderness, and makes people feel fresh and comfortable. As bamboo fibre has natural anti-bacteria function, no artificial anti-bacteria additive needs adding into the products made by bamboo fibre so that it will not cause allergy on the skin.
