Some of the silent features of Bamboo Fabrics are as under :-
FEATURES OF BAMBOO :-
Naturally Antibacteria
Bamboo fiber has natural functions of anti-bacteria and deodorizaton.Even
after fifty times of washing , bamboo fiber fabric still possesses excellent
function of anti-bacteria. Bamboo fiber's natural anti-bacteria function
differs greatly from that of chemical additive.The later often tend to cause
skin allergy when added to apparel.
Bamboo Fabric is Healthful
Bamboo possesses a property called "Bamboo Kun" which means that it is
naturally anti-microbial. Even after fifty washes, bamboo fabrics retain
their anti-fungal, anti-bacterial nature. This makes it suitable for those
sensitive to allergens and also helps to reduce body odor, without the risk
of allergic reaction sometimes associated with exposure to the chemicals
used to give other materials similar properties. Bamboo fabric even has an
inherant UV protection factor, though we've yet to run our own tests on this
property.
Bamboo Fabric is Sustainable
Cotton is one of the most intensely sprayed crops in the world, and cotton
pesticides are the greatest crop contributor to volatile organic compounds
in the environment. Cotton requires wide spacing to grow, allowing bare soil
to oxidize in the sun, releasing carbon into the atmosphere, allowing rain
to wash soil and chemicals into stream, and decreasing soil fertility.
Bamboo, on the other hand, takes in five times the volume of greenhouse
gasses as an equivalent stand of timber trees and releases 35% more oxygen.
It needs no replanting, pesticides or fertilizers, and its roots retain
water in the watershed, sustaining riverbanks and reducing water pollution.
Bamboo Fabric is Practical
Bamboo fabrics can look and drape like silk, but are more practical because
you can machine wash them on the gentle cycle and dry them in the drier or
on the clothesline. They resist wrinkling without the addition of
formaldehyde (a carcinogen) which is added to polyester/cotton blend fabrics
to give them those qualities. It has many of the qualities sought in
"performance" and "easy care" fabrics without the drawbacks of synthetic
material and it has many of the fashionable qualities of silk, while being
sturdy and vegan.
Bamboo Fabric is Comfortable
The fibers of the bamboo plant that are used to make our fabrics are
naturally porous, so they absorb moisture, and wick it away from the skin,
keeping you cooler and drier than synthetics or cotton. Diapers made from
bamboo have superior absorbency to cotton ones, without being so bulky. The
soft, smooth texture is exceptional for the comfort of all who wear it, and
particularly well-suited to babies' tender skin.
