Bamboo fibre and its manufacture

Abstract

The present invention is related to a bamboo fiber, which uses bamboo as raw material, providing a kind of raw materials for making face fabric instead of cotton, chemical fiber, hemp and silk, and the production method of this kind of fiber includes the procedures of bamboo pretreatment, bamboo separation, bamboo fiber forming and its after treatment, in which it adopts a degumming softening agent made up according to a wild plant formula, and its neutral in acidity-alkalinity ensures no environmental pollution. The face fabric made of bamboo fiber is good in flexibility, permeability and is UV-resistant or ultraviolet resistant, low cost and high comfort in summer.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a bamboo product, and more particularly to the bamboo fiber and the manufacture thereof which provides an eco-friendly process to obtain the quality fabrication. [0003] 2. Description of Related Arts [0004] In the current clothing or garment industry, due to the advantages of unyielding surface and low cost, it is likely taking over the trend role of cotton and hemp or flax-spun traditional materials by the chemical fiber or synthetic fiber. But, it is conflicted with the current world trends of back-to-nature and health-care-searching. Therefore, if a fiber product can be created from the natural botanical plants, which having both the cotton-spun products characteristics of comfort with well permeability and strong absorption, and the chemical fiber plus material advantages of softness, unyieldingness, coolness, airiness, slip and low cost, will cause a revolution in the manufa...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a bamboo fabric, wherein a natural botanical softener agent is added into the bamboo fiber for softening treatment on the bamboo fiber and enhancing the tensile strength thereof. The threading configuration of the bamboo fiber is over 120,000 counts. The bamboo fiber is adapted to completely replace the traditional chemical fiber, cotton and garmenture. In addition, the clothing (or garment) made from the above process has the characteristics of good air ventilation and softness with strong anti-bacteria such that the bamboo fiber is good for making breezy outfit for summer time. Furthermore, it is good for skin care due to the strong function in anti-UV (ultra-violet) with 0.06% opacity which is much less than the fabric materials of cotton, hemp and silk. Moreover, the manufactured fabric materials maintain the natural characteristics of the raw bamboo, good permeability, convenient rinsing and easy drying. Therefore, the bamboo fibers of the present invention without containing any chemical acidity-alkalinity preparations can prevent the environment from pollution during the manufacturing process.

Problems solved by technology

But, it is conflicted with the current world trends of back-to-nature and health-care-searching.

Because the softening agent contains alkali, it will pollute the environments during the manufacturing.

In addition, the bamboo fiber which is manufactured by the existing method is too soft and easy to broken to manufacture the clothing shell fabric materials.
