What Is Bamboo Charcoal Fiber?

Bamboo charcoal fiber is made from bamboo as the raw material, utilizing a novel process and technology involving high-temperature combustion in pure oxygen with delayed nitrogen barrier. Its unique fiber structure design features characteristics such as moisture absorption, breathability, antibacterial properties, warmth in winter and coolness in summer, and environmental friendliness.

Bamboo charcoal is renowned as the "black diamond" and internationally hailed as the "new environmental guardian of the 21st century." The most distinctive feature of this fiber is that each strand exhibits a honeycomb-like microporous structure that runs through its interior and exterior. This unique design allows the fiber to fully harness 100% of bamboo charcoal's inherent functionalities. The advent of this multifunctional bamboo charcoal fiber represents a revolutionary innovation in textile materials.

Features of Bamboo Charcoal Fiber:

1. Soft and Smooth

Bamboo charcoal fiber is fine in unit fineness, with a soft texture. It boasts excellent whiteness, vibrant colors, strong toughness, and abrasion resistance, as well as unique elasticity. It exhibits high longitudinal and transverse strength, with stable uniformity and superior drape. Its smooth and velvety feel is even softer than cotton, offering a distinctive silky texture.

2. Moisture-Absorbent and Breathable

The cross-section of bamboo charcoal fiber is filled with numerous oval-shaped pores, enabling it to instantly absorb and evaporate large amounts of moisture. Its naturally hollow cross-section has led industry experts to dub it the "breathable fiber" or the "queen of fibers." Bamboo charcoal fiber ranks highest among textile fibers in terms of moisture absorption, moisture release, and breathability. Products made from this fiber provide a cool and airy sensation in summer and autumn, while offering warmth and comfort in winter and spring by efficiently dissipating excess heat and moisture, preventing dryness and irritation.

3. Antibacterial and Antimicrobial, with a 94.5% Antibacterial Rate

Tests conducted by SGS, the world's largest inspection, testing, and certification organization, revealed that while bacteria proliferate abundantly in cotton and wood fiber products, the bacterial count on bamboo charcoal fiber fabric decreases by 94.5% after 24 hours. This exceptional performance has made it a preferred material for antibacterial protective clothing, surpassing other textile materials.

4. Eco-Friendly and UV-Resistant

Bamboo charcoal fiber is a green material extracted from natural bamboo, inheriting the plant's natural properties such as anti-mite, anti-odor, anti-pest, and negative ion generation. Tests by the Shanghai Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, confirmed that bamboo charcoal fiber fabric blocks almost 100% of ultraviolet (UV) radiation in the 200–400 nm wavelength range, which is the most harmful to human health.
