Cooling yarn and smooth bamboo fiber: a "cooling artifact" in summer, a touch of refreshing

Bamboo fiber is a new type of fiber made from bamboo through a series of processes. The following is a detailed introduction to it:

Origin

China is the country with the richest bamboo resources and the main production area of bamboo fiber. Among them, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Hunan, Sichuan and other places have vast bamboo forests, providing sufficient raw materials for the bamboo fiber industry.

The climate in these regions is suitable for bamboo growth, there are many bamboo species, and they have a deep bamboo cultural heritage and a mature bamboo processing industry foundation. Relying on local scientific research strength and enterprise cluster advantages, from bamboo felling to bamboo fiber primary processing, and then to yarn and various terminal products, a complete industrial chain has been formed.

In addition, Asian countries such as India, Vietnam, and Myanmar also have a certain scale of bamboo fiber production due to their geographical environment that is also suitable for bamboo growth, but the overall industry maturity and output are still behind China.

Types

1. Natural bamboo fiber: also known as bamboo raw fiber, is a fiber extracted directly from bamboo. Impurities such as lignin and pectin in bamboo are removed by physical and mechanical methods to retain the natural characteristics of bamboo. Its fiber length is longer and has better toughness. The fabric made of it has good air permeability, antibacterial and hygroscopicity, and its appearance is simple and natural.

2. Chemical bamboo fiber: including bamboo pulp fiber, which is made from bamboo as raw material, made into bamboo pulp by chemical methods, and then made into fiber by spinning process. This kind of bamboo fiber has good processing performance, relatively uniform fiber, can be dyed with bright and rich colors, and has a soft and smooth feel. It is widely used in the textile market, but compared with natural bamboo fiber, some of its natural characteristics will be slightly weakened.

cooling yarn Uses

1. Clothing:

Cooling yarn is used to make summer clothes, such as short-sleeved shirts, dresses, shorts, etc. Its cool and smooth characteristics can dispel the summer heat for consumers; in terms of underwear and panties, bamboo fiber has antibacterial properties, which can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria and provide a healthy and comfortable environment for private parts; sportswear also often uses bamboo fiber, using its strong moisture absorption and quick drying characteristics to keep athletes dry during exercise and enhance the sports experience.

2. Household items: In terms of home furnishings, bamboo fiber can be made into sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, curtains, etc. to create a refreshing and comfortable living environment. Especially in the hot summer, bamboo fiber bedding can bring a significant cooling feeling; it can also be used to make towels, bath towels, dishcloths and other daily cleaning products. The antibacterial properties of bamboo fiber make it less likely to breed bacteria and produce odors, making it more hygienic to use.

3. Medical and health care: The antibacterial properties of bamboo fiber make it have certain applications in the field of medical and health care, such as making medical gauze, bandages, etc., which help wound healing and prevent infection; it can also be used to make mask linings to enhance the antibacterial function of masks.

cooling yarn Advantages

1. Cool touch: This is also the characteristic emphasized in the title. The thermal conductivity of bamboo fiber is high, which can quickly dissipate the heat on the surface of human skin. Therefore, when wearing or touching bamboo fiber products in summer, there will be a cool and smooth feeling, just like applying a layer of "cold film" to the skin, which makes people feel comfortable.

2. Antibacterial and antibacterial: Bamboo contains a natural antibacterial substance called "Zhukun", which has the ability to inhibit and kill bacteria. The antibacterial rate of common pathogens such as Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus can reach more than 90%, which can effectively prevent odor, skin itching, allergies and other problems caused by bacterial growth, and protect human health.

3. Moisture absorption and breathability: There are many tiny pores inside bamboo fiber, which makes bamboo fiber have strong moisture absorption capacity. It can quickly absorb sweat on the surface of the human body and quickly dissipate water vapor through air circulation, keeping clothes or bedding dry and avoiding the discomfort of hot and sticky.

4. Environmental protection and sustainability: Bamboo grows fast and generally becomes a material in 3-5 years. It is a renewable resource. Compared with traditional fiber raw materials such as cotton and wool, the production of bamboo fiber has less impact on the environment and is in line with the current trend of sustainable development.

5. Soft and comfortable: Whether it is natural bamboo fiber or chemical bamboo fiber, after proper processing, it has a relatively soft feel. After being made into clothing or household items, it can bring users a comfortable skin contact experience without roughness or itching.
