In daily life, bamboo can be seen everywhere, bamboo plants, bamboo furniture, bamboo fences, bamboo baskets and so on. They are in various forms but still maintain a commonality, which is rigid. However, rigid bamboo can transformed into soft bamboo fiber textiles through another wonderful journey.
Intending to make highly strength bamboo furniture, or soft bamboo fiber textiles, the initial processing is the same. Firstly, select 3 to 4 years old bamboo as raw material, remove excess lateral branches and bamboo leaves to obtain bamboo poles, and then split the bamboo manually or mechanically. Starting from the step of splitting bamboo, everything became different.
Bamboo fiber production doesn’t require slender bamboo strips like other bamboo weaving crafts, it usually uses automated machines to first cut bamboo poles into bamboo tubes of a certain length, and then split them into bamboo slices. After being degummed, softened, steamed, and washed, bamboo slices are flattened on a machine and then decomposed into thick fibers. Thick fibers need to be further formed through steps such as steaming, fiber separation, softening, and drying to become thin bamboo fibers. Finally, bamboo fiber, like cotton fiber and silk fiber, can be spun using textile equipment. Bamboo fiber fabric is made in this way and has many advantages.
The most outstanding advantage of bamboo fiber textiles is their natural antibacterial, bacteriostatic, and deodorizing properties, followed by good breathability and water absorption. These characteristics make bamboo fiber very suitable for producing products that directly contact with the skin, e.g. bamboo pajamas, bamboo socks, bamboo underwear, even infants clothing. They are soft and breathable, comfortable to wear, and have antibacterial properties, especially bamboo socks, which are a blessing for those who are prone to sweating and producing odors on their feet.
In additional, bamboo fiber textiles are both soft and abrasion resistant, so more and more bedding using bamboo fiber as material. Bamboo pillow is as soft as ordinary pillow, and is more breathable and sweat absorbing. They are also not easily to pilling when rubbed against the head for a long time, making them popular among consumers.
Bamboo is a treasure, it can be applied in all aspects of life. Don’t waste the gifts of nature, finding a good way to use it is also important. Booboa is a leading brand in the bamboo industry, it innovatively utilizes the characteristics of bamboo and aims to bring bamboo products to the world.
