Application Of Bamboo Fiber In Textile Industry

1 bamboo fiber classification

1.1 natural bamboo fiber bamboo fiber

Bamboo fiber is a new kind of natural fiber.

1.2 chemical bamboo fiber

Chemical bamboo fibers include bamboo pulp and bamboo charcoal fiber.

Bamboo charcoal fiber is a kind of fiber product which is made of nano grade bamboo charcoal powder and added into viscose spinning solution through special process and spinning through similar conventional spinning process.

2 special function of bamboo fiber

Bamboo fiber has antibacterial, bacteriostatic, deodorant and UV resistant functions. It is a natural functional fiber, especially its deodorizing function is the strongest, so it is called "breathing fiber."

Scientists found that bamboo has a unique substance, named "bamboo Kun", which has natural anti mite, odorant and insect resistant functions.

The same amount of bacteria can be observed under microscope. Bacteria can thrive in cotton and wood fiber products, while bacteria on bamboo fiber products can not survive for a long time and disappear or decrease in a short time.

The natural antibacterial, bacteriostasis and anti ultraviolet effects of bamboo fiber fabrics can still guarantee their original characteristics after repeated washing and drying. It has no allergic reactions to human skin and has a health function on human skin.

3 application and development prospect of bamboo fiber

Bamboo fiber products, with its high technology content, soft, warm, cool and comfortable, bacteriostatic and antibacterial, green environmental protection and natural health care, have a strong market pulse.

4 problems encountered in bamboo fiber development

4.1 problems in the production process

Although bamboo fiber has many advantages, it also has its weaknesses.

In the processing technology, the production process of regenerated bamboo fiber is too long, and serious environmental pollution.

Environmental protection has become the biggest drawback of the development of regenerated bamboo fibers, and the damage of bamboo processing materials to bamboo fiber can not be ignored.

Therefore, the technology of regenerated bamboo fiber needs to be improved.

There are two main difficulties in the preparation of natural bamboo fiber. One is that bamboo is too short to spinning, and the other is that the lignin content in fiber is very high and it is difficult to remove it. Two.

The conventional chemical degumming process has a long technological process and a long cycle. It needs a lot of energy consumption, and the equipment is seriously corroded. It is extremely polluted to the environment and the quality of the processed fibers is not stable enough.

The biological degumming method is also quite difficult. The structure of bamboo is dense and dense, and there is a lot of air in the cell structure. The impregnation solution is difficult to soak. It will prolong the time of degumming, and the bamboo itself has a variety of antibacterial substances, and the selection of strains is also difficult.

100% of bamboo fiber in garment manufacturing has not yet solved the problem of shrinkage.

4.2 problems in the testing process

Bamboo fiber identification and detection technology is relatively backward. At present, there is no standard for testing bamboo fiber content in our country.

This phenomenon is also related to the unique fiber properties of bamboo fibers.

One is the distinction between bamboo fiber and other fibers. Bamboo fiber is a kind of cellulose fiber. It has the same chemical properties as cellulose, such as cotton, linen, silk, viscose and so on, and it will dissolve in sulfuric acid.

Therefore, we can not detect the components of bamboo fiber and cotton fiber and linen fiber when it is found that the fibrous component of the label is bamboo fiber and cotton fiber.

However, because the cost of these fibers is quite different, some businesses will take advantage of other fibers instead of bamboo fibers in the production process.

The two is the distinction between natural bamboo fiber and bamboo pulp fiber, the former is natural fiber, the latter is chemical fiber, some of its characteristics are destroyed in the process, so its function is greatly reduced, but its output is large and easy to make, so the price is about half of the natural bamboo fiber.

Because they are very similar in nature, it is difficult to identify, which causes some products to replace bamboo fibers with bamboo fiber.

In the sales process, the advantages of natural bamboo fiber are used to publicize their products, and the bamboo fiber is identified as the fiber component of the product.

Many consumers do not understand the difference between the two, causing consumers to be cheated.

So consumers should be more careful when buying such products.

5 Conclusion

The application of bamboo fiber in textile industry has brought convenience to people's life.

But at the same time, we must increase the problems existing in its R & D and production process.

Our technical institutions must strengthen the formulation of standards so as to make the whole industry develop healthily and orderly.
