Bamboo Fiber

Product Description

Lyocell Tencel Fiber Manufacturer

The Fortune Cat^® Lyocell Tencel fiber production base was established in 1998, and its annual production has now reached 200,000 tons.

Lyocell fiber, also known as soluble fiber, is an environmentally friendly green viscose fiber made from natural cellulose. Compared with traditional viscose fibers, Lyocell fibers are produced by cellulose organic solvent spinning method. During the production process, a new solvent NMMO (N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide) is used to replace CS2 (carbon disulfide), which causes serious environmental pollution. Specifically, cellulose (pulp) is directly dissolved in the NMMO/water system to form a viscous cellulose solution, which is then produced by dry jet wet spinning.

This production process does not undergo chemical reactions, and the entire production process is relatively short. The solvent dissolution, spinning, and recovery process is closed, and the solvent NMMO recovery rate is as high as 99.5%. There is almost no waste discharge, and the spinning speed is very high. Lyocell fiber has all the comfort properties of natural fibers and has greater fiber strength than ordinary viscose fibers, and is known as the “green fiber of the 21st century”.

The development of viscose fibers can be divided into three stages:

(1) The first generation was ordinary viscose fibers, mainly viscose staple fibers, which emerged in the early 20th century to solve the problem of cotton shortage;

(2) The second generation is high moisture modulus viscose fibers, which were industrialized in the 1950s. The representative product is modal fibers;

(3) The third generation is solvent based viscose fibers represented by Lyocell fibers.

For a long time, due to the short supply of key solvent NMMO and the recovery process of NMMO, the price of Lyocell fiber in China has been relatively high and its development has been slow. However, in recent years, due to technological breakthroughs in NMMO solvents, the cost of NMMO has significantly decreased, and the price competitiveness of Lyocell fibers has greatly improved.

The main products of Fortune Cat^® Bamboo Fiber and Lyocell Fiber Production Base include modal fiber, lyocell fiber, Lyocell filament, recycled fiber, degradable fiber, natural fiber, clothing fiber, ecological fiber, fiber materials, cellulose fiber, textile fiber, green fiber, textile material, synthetic fiber, chemical fiber, artificial fiber, Tencel, etc.

Bamboo Fiber

Fortune Cat^® can produce Bamboo Fiber.

Item Name: Fortune Cat^® Bamboo Fiber.

Brand: Fortune Cat^®

Fortune Cat^® Bamboo Fiber is a cellulose fiber extracted from naturally growing bamboo, the fifth largest natural fiber after cotton, hemp, wool, and silk. Bamboo fiber has good breathability, instant water absorption, strong wear resistance, and good dyeing properties. It has natural antibacterial, antibacterial, mite removal, odor prevention, and UV resistance functions.

The chemical components of Fortune Cat^® Bamboo Fiber are mainly cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, all of which belong to high polysaccharides, accounting for more than 90% of the dry weight of fibers. The following are proteins, fats, pectin, tannins, pigments, ash, etc. Most of them exist in the intracellular cavity or special organelles, directly or indirectly participating in their physiological functions.

Cellulose is the main substance that makes up bamboo fibrillar cells and its significance as a textile fiber. Due to the different ages of bamboo, its cellulose content also varies, such as 75% for young bamboo, 66% for 1-year-old bamboo, and 58% for 3-year-old bamboo. The hemicellulose content in bamboo fibers is generally between 14% and 25%, while the average content in bamboo is about 22.7%. With the increase of bamboo age, its content also decreases, such as 24.9% in 2-year-old bamboo and 23.6% in 4-year-old bamboo.

Bamboo fibers are divided into natural bamboo fibers and chemical bamboo fibers. Natural bamboo fiber is a natural bamboo fiber produced by a combination of physical and chemical methods. Chemical bamboo fibers can also be classified as bamboo pulp fibers and bamboo charcoal fibers.

Bamboo pulp fiber: Bamboo pulp fiber is a type of fiber made by making bamboo sheets into pulp, then turning the pulp into pulp and wet spinning it into fiber. Its production and processing process is basically similar to that of viscose.

Bamboo charcoal fiber: It is a fiber product made by using nanoscale bamboo charcoal powder, adding it to viscose spinning solution through a special process, and then spinning it using a similar conventional spinning process.

Through scanning electron microscopy, it was observed that bamboo fibers have transverse sections in the longitudinal direction, with uneven distribution of thickness and numerous micro grooves on the surface of the fibers. The cross-section is irregularly elliptical, waist circular, etc., with a central cavity inside. The cross-section is filled with large and small gaps, and there are cracks at the edges, which is very similar to the cross-section of ramie fibers.

Bamboo fiber products have natural antibacterial, antibacterial, and bactericidal effects because bamboo contains a unique substance called “bamboo quinone”, which has natural antibacterial, anti mite, anti odor, and anti insect functions. Under a microscope, bacteria can proliferate in large quantities in fiber products such as cotton and wood, while bacteria on bamboo fiber products not only cannot survive for a long time, but can also disappear or decrease in a short period of time, with a bacterial mortality rate of over 75% within 24 hours. The new discovery of the Japanese authority increased the added value of this product, and the above results were also confirmed by the inspection of the China Cotton Textile Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center and the Chinese Academy of Sciences Shanghai Institute of Microbiology (cotton towels are easy to smell in summer, which is the result of thousands of times of bacteria). However, cotton products themselves do not have antibacterial and antibacterial functions. The reason why they become moldy, odorous, and sticky is due to the proliferation of bacteria on towels. The reason why bamboo fiber towels do not exhibit this phenomenon is mainly because they have antibacterial and antibacterial functions, and bacteria cannot reproduce or even survive on them. So even in warm and humid environments, bamboo fiber towels do not mold, retain their odor, or become sticky.
