How Consumers Identify Bamboo Fiber

It is a cellulose fiber extracted from naturally growing bamboo. It has good air permeability, instant water absorption and abrasion resistance. It also has natural antibacterial, antibacterial, mites, odorant and anti ultraviolet functions.

Adhesive fiber refers to the original product (bamboo pulp or other plants) broken into pulp, and then use the adhesive to bind it into textiles.

Two experiments to identify "bamboo fiber"

Experiment 1: microscopic observation.

The workers sampled the sheets and towels purchased by the Department Store from the department store. The samples were placed on the slide and dropped onto glycerin. Under the microscope, the fibers were shaped like circular filaments.

Microscopic observation shows that the sample fibers are adhesive fibers, and the so-called adhesive fibers refer to a method of breaking the original products into pulp and then gluing them to make textiles.

This method will destroy the original characteristics of plants. This is actually a chemical fiber. It is not a purely natural plant fiber product.

Judging from the results of the experiment, the "bamboo fiber" products sold on the market are adhesive fibers. "We can not conclude that the use of bamboo fiber is raw material, and the existing detection techniques are unable to carry out molecular analysis."

Subsequently, the laboratory staff analyzed the samples purchased by the reporter from the underground Plaza of Xing Zheng Yuan, and observed them by microscope.

The fiber structure is basically the same as the samples purchased by the reporters in the shopping mall.

"These samples belong to the adhesive fiber, as to whether it is bonded by bamboo pulp or is bonded by other plants, the conclusion can not be reached."

Experiment two: combustion method

Laboratory staff determine the experimental samples through combustion.

"Bamboo fibers are fine and soft gray black flocs after burning, and the adhesive fibers (including bamboo fibers) are gray ash after burning."

The samples purchased at different locations were burned one by one, and the results showed that the combustion products were all ash and ashes.

"Obviously, these fibers are all adhesive fibers."

There are many bamboo fibers everywhere in the household textile products. In recent years, the products of bamboo fiber are gradually appearing in the clothing market.

In addition to the "bacteriostatic, mites eliminating" and "dehumidifying and sweating" functions, the propaganda words such as radiation protection and blood circulation have also been included in their efficacy.

Experts say bamboo fiber dehumidification effect is good, but most of the bamboo fiber products sold on the market are glued fibers, and their health functions are not verified.

Consumers identify bamboo fiber mainly by hand.

Consumers must carefully inspect the product when shopping. Sometimes businessmen say it is a bamboo fiber product. In fact, the product itself has been labeled as regenerated cellulose fiber or bamboo pulp fiber.

Although it is a bamboo fiber product, it does have some characteristics of bamboo fiber products, which is determined by the shape of bamboo fiber itself. Bamboo fiber has more air gaps and better permeability.

Bamboo pulp fiber is actually a kind of adhesive fiber. The bonding fiber is usually easy to break. In the washing process, it should avoid force as much as possible, and also avoid the insolation and wetness of textiles.

When selecting adhesive fiber products, it can be selected through gloss and smoothness. The cost of bamboo fiber products is relatively high. When choosing, do not choose products with low price. Although these products are relatively smooth, they may be added softeners.

Bamboo pulp fiber is actually a kind of textile material, which can prevent radiation and other health functions mentioned in the publicity. The inspection institute is unable to detect at present.
