China'S Green Clothing Materials: The Prospect Of Cannabis Market Is Bright.

Today, with the concept of green and environmental protection all over the world, cannabis with a long history has once again entered the field of vision of mankind.

Cannabis, also known as hemp, linen, Chinese hemp, and mulberry, is a pure natural annual herb.

It is easy to grow and grows fast.

During its growth, unlike other plants, it did not use pesticides or other chemicals.

China is the first country to grow cannabis in the world.

According to textual research, the two hemp fabrics unearthed in Gaocheng, Hebei in 1973 were the hemp fabric of the Shang Dynasty. The official hats of the Zhou Dynasty were made of hemp fibers; on the ancient Silk Road, two pairs of embroidered shoes made of hemp fibers were found; there were also twine and linen marks on the Neolithic spinning wheel and pottery ears at the Yangshao cultural site in Henan.

In modern society, people used hemp fibers to knit socks, shoes and parcels of Buddhist temples, and also made hemp fibers for paper, ropes, sails and canvas.

Hemp fibers were once the main textile materials used all over the world.

By nineteenth Century, it will occupy about 80% of the textile fiber market.

In other countries, because the English plation of cannabis is the same as that of drugs and cannabis, in western countries, cannabis was once regarded as a "prohibited drug". This makes the application of hemp fiber in the textile industry in a declining position, and its development and processing level is far behind other fibers.

In fact, plant hemp can be made into hemp fibers after a series of physical and chemical processing processes, that is, "hemp" hemp fiber. It can be blended with cotton, wool and chemical fiber to produce different numbers of branches and blend than different fabrics.

Hemp fiber processing clothing fabric has the characteristics of durable, wearable, comfortable and low cost.

Textile industry experts believe that hemp fiber made of fabric has many other fabrics do not have the quality.

Natural bacteriostasis: the hemp textiles are tested by qualitative bacteriostasis without any medicine treatment and water washing. The results show that they have different bacteriostatic effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and albicans.

The experiment showed that the inhibitory effect of the large spun fabric on E. coli was the most obvious, its bacteriostatic diameter was 10 millimeters, and the inhibition zone was more than 6 millimeters, which was identified as having bacteriostatic effect.

By high frequency plasma emission spectrometry, hemp fibers contain more than 10 kinds of trace elements which are very beneficial to human body.

Cool and refreshing: the center of hemp fiber has slender cavities, which are connected with many cracks and small holes distributed longitudinally on the fiber surface, resulting in capillary effect.

This makes hemp fiber good moisture absorption and sweat perspiration, and feels cool when dressed.

Soft and comfortable: hemp fiber has a single fiber length of 15-25 millimeters, a fineness of 15-30 millimeters, a specific gravity of 1.48. The molecular structure is arranged longitudinally, closely and neatly, with a high degree of crystallinity and orientation.

Hemp fiber is the finest of all kinds of fibers. The fineness is only 1/3 of ramie, close to cotton fiber and ends with a pure angle. So hemp fabric is soft and feels free from special treatment.

Shielding ultraviolet radiation: hemp fiber cross section shows irregular triangle, polygon, waist round, etc. its molecular structure is multi prism, loose and spiral lines.

Therefore, hemp fibers have excellent dispersal effects on sound waves and light waves.

Hemp fibers have the function of blocking ultraviolet radiation, according to the Institute of physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Anti static electricity: dry hemp fiber is a poor conductor of electricity, and its ability to resist electric breakdown is higher than that of cotton fiber 30-90%. It is a good insulating material.

Usually, the moisture content of hemp fiber is good, and the moisture content is generally maintained at around 12%.

When the air humidity is 95%, its moisture content is about 30%, but the handle is not damp.

Therefore, hemp fabric can easily avoid static accumulation and will not cause pilling and discharge due to the swinging friction of the clothes.

Heat resistance: hemp fiber has stronger heat resistance than other fibers.

It can withstand the test of 370 degrees Celsius, so it is especially suitable for sunscreen clothes, sun umbrellas, camping tent and special decorative fabrics.

At present, some shrewd textile enterprises recognize the broad market prospect of hemp textile fabrics, and begin to study and develop them in depth.

Shanxi oasis Textile Co., Ltd. invested about 30000000 yuan. Hundreds of experiments were carried out on the hillside grown on the shady slope of the Taihang Mountains for 2000 meters above sea level to solve the problems of hemp fiber degumming, carding and weaving.

They have been able to produce pure hemp fabrics, hemp indigo denim, silk hemp blended fabric, all kinds of yarn dyed fabrics, hemp dyed plain cloth and other blended hemp fabrics.

The pure hemp short spun yarn and cannabis indigo denim made in the oasis have been awarded the national invention patents and have been included in the 2000-2001 year old Chinese popular fabrics.
