Experts Reveal That Bamboo Fiber Textile Is A Gimmick For Health Preservation.

In recent years, bamboo fiber is known as "antibacterial deodorizing and moisture absorption". Spin Products have been popular among many consumers, but many businesses have marked products such as "UV protection", "release of negative ions" and "radiation protection". Consumers have expressed doubts about this. Experts said that bamboo fiber products can indeed bacteriostatic and deodorant, but health function is mostly gimmick, consumers should guard against flickering.

Bamboo fiber products generally have a high price.

Found in the market, some underwear, bedding, curtains and so on, because of its Bamboo fiber Material, compared to cotton products, the price is much more expensive. For example, a cotton ordinary towel is about 10-20 yuan, a bamboo fiber towel price is as high as 60-70 yuan, and bamboo fiber four pieces of bedding products are often 2000 yuan. According to the salesperson, this bamboo fiber product is soft, smooth, moisture absorbing and breathable, and more importantly, compared with other materials, bamboo fiber products can also inhibit bacteria and deodorization.

Even more amazing is that many bamboo fiber products also claim to have health functions. A shop called "Heng Mei home textile" in Taobao Tmall mall, in a product description of a four piece bedding, said that bamboo fiber can "improve sleep quality", "release negative ions, improve human respiration", "exclude skin impurities, improve complexion" and so on.

Reporters also found in the survey, in addition to bamboo fiber products, and bamboo charcoal fiber products, most salesmen confuse it. Reporter interviewed the consumer Ms. Wang, she said that this product can deodorization or good, "as for health, it is estimated that it is blind, right?"

Bamboo fiber is not equal to bamboo charcoal fiber.

Does this product really have bacteriostatic and deodorant and health preserving functions? After the recommendation of China Textile Business Association, the reporter contacted Jilin chemical fiber group, a senior engineer specializing in chemical fiber technology research, Gu Yu Lu. Gu Yulu introduced that bamboo fiber is fine, stable and uniform, and has unique resilience, so it has a special velvet feeling, soft and no body. Because the cross section is full of large and small elliptical pores, it can absorb and evaporate large amounts of water instantly, and has the characteristics of moisture absorption and permeability. Because of its high degree of hollow cross-section, bamboo fibers are also known as "breathing fibers."

Does bamboo fiber and bamboo charcoal fiber belong to the same material? Gu Yulu said that although both of them are related to bamboo, bamboo fiber refers to cellulose fibers extracted from naturally growing bamboo. Bamboo charcoal fiber refers to the fiber products made of bamboo powder that are oxidized to calcined at high temperature and made into carbon nanoparticles, and then added to viscose or acrylic fibers, and then spinning through similar conventional spinning processes. Experts said that because bamboo charcoal particles have adsorption properties, bamboo charcoal fibers made of bamboo charcoal fiber will have good deodorizing and hygroscopic effects when bamboo charcoal content is high. However, the content of bamboo charcoal is not only related to the content of bamboo charcoal fiber in finished products, but also related to the quantity of bamboo charcoal particles added in processing. If businessmen put together these two concepts, consumers should be deceived when buying.

It has antibacterial and deodorizing effects.

Bamboo fiber products are mostly curtains, underwear and bedding. The main advantage of the business is "bacteriostatic deodorization". For this function, Gu Yu Lu said, "true bamboo fiber products do have the function of bacteriostatic and deodorizing, but there are many cotton textile pretending to be bamboo fiber in the market now." In addition to checking the test results, consumers can also feel the antibacterial deodorizing effect of bamboo fibers in their daily life. Ms. Zhao, who is accustomed to using bamboo fiber towels, said: "during the rainy season, the wet cotton towels and bamboo fiber towels are placed in the bathroom, and the time needed for bamboo fiber towels to emit peculiar smell is about two times more than that of cotton towels." However, experts pointed out that the effect of bacteriostatic and deodorizing is also related to the content of bamboo fiber in textiles. The higher the content, the better the effect of antibacterial deodorization.

Is there any indication of "70% bamboo fiber 30% cotton" on some towel product labels? Does it indicate that it is not all bamboo fiber products? Gu Yulu pointed out that this system is normal, the part of the Terry is bamboo fiber, and the edge and bottom are cotton fibers, otherwise the stability is not good, and it is easy to break after wet. If a businessman claims that 100% of the product is made of bamboo fiber, consumers need to be cautious when buying.

Health functions are mostly gimmicks.

Some businesses are promoting bamboo fiber textiles to "release far-infrared rays, store heat and keep warm", "block electromagnetic wave radiation, promote blood circulation", "rich in potassium and calcium elements, and promote physical health". Are bamboo fiber products really amazing? Heat storage and heat preservation are not due to the release of far infrared rays from bamboo fibers, but because the hollow structure of bamboo fibers obstructs the heat transfer, and the heat preservation performance is better. However, experts say that bamboo fiber does have the function of anti ultraviolet. The transmittance of 200 nm to 400 nm is almost zero, but only when it is used for processing T-shirts or curtains, but the effect is not so obvious. {page_break}

Tips

Low price and prudent purchase

When you first buy, you'd better go to the regular shopping mall, touch the product yourself, and feel the meat of the genuine product. People who use frequently can easily distinguish from their hands.

Look at the luster of the product. If the product has a particularly bright luster, it is more likely to be a fake.

Price is too low to buy cautiously. Experts say that the price of a bamboo fiber towel is between 20 and 120 yuan, which is reasonable. If the price is less than 20 yuan, it is best not to buy it.

From raw material processing to finished products, after many processes, it is impossible for the finished product to retain the smell of bamboo. Even if it is genuine, it is impossible to smell the fresh bamboo.

Wash and pay attention to water and temperature.

1. washing principle should not be washed with alkaline water. It is suggested to use neutral or weak acidic water to wash. Alkaline water has damage to bamboo fiber and its effect on bacteriostatic and deodorizing. fibre Durability will have an impact. But when used again, the body sweats, the sweat is acidic, and the bacteriostasis function will be resumed.

2. wash water temperature should not be too low. Too low temperature can cause bamboo fiber fabric to harden. After soaking in warm water, it will return to soft.
