Bamboo is environmentally friendly and is 100% naturally grown without assistance from man. Bamboo thrives naturally without any pesticides or other harmful chemicals. Using bamboo with more than 3 years of growth as materials, bamboo fiber is made through a serial of natural biodegradable processes. Under microscope, bamboo fiber has a round surface. It is filled with lager and small cross-section of the oval-shaped pores which can absorb and evaporate water. Therefore, bamboo fiber is incredibly soft, smooth and luxuriously comfortable. Bamboo fiber has the following functional features:
-
Anti-bacterial function: bamboo fiber contains a natural material called “Zhu Kun” which can produce negative ions and has inhibitory effects on insects. Tested by SGS, the analysis organization, after 24 hours, only 10% of bacteria remains on bamboo fiber products compared with large amounts of bacteria on cotton and other fibric products. Confirmed by Shanghai Institute of microbial detection and Japanese Textile Association, bamboo fiber has a natural anti-bacterial effect.
-
Biological health function: Bamboo fiber contains high concentrations of negative ions with 6,000/cubic centimeter, which is equivalent to the concentrations of negative ions in the field.
-
Function of absorbing moisture: because of its porous structure, the bamboo fiber can automatically adjust body temperature by rapidly absorbing and evaporating human sweat. Bamboo fiber wicks water away from the body 3 to 4 times faster than cotton. In warm, humid and sweaty weather, bamboo clothing helps keeping the wearer drier, cooler and more comfortable and doesn’t stick to the skin.
-
Thermo-control function: Bamboo fiber is extraordinarily breathable due to its porous structure. Bamboo fiber is naturally cool to touch in the hot weather and it is also warm in the cold weather because of the same micro-pore structure.
-
Other functions: Bamboo fiber is anti-static, which make bamboo fiber sits very well next to skin. Bamboo fiber is also UV protective. It cuts 98% of harmful UV activity.
