WHAT IS BAMBOO FIBER
Bamboo is a regenerated cellulosic fiber produced from bamboo. This fiber is made from the starchy pulp of bamboo plants.
BAMBOO PLANT AND HISTORY
Bamboo botanically categorized as a grass and not a tree, bamboo just might be the world’s most sustainable resourceThe first patents for bamboo paper occurred in 1864 and 1869.Mordern bamboo clothing was first introduced by Beijing University but commercial use increased during 2004-2010.

STURECTURE OF BAMBOO FIBER
PROCESSING OF BAMBOO FIBER
WEAVING OF BAMBOO FIBER The tensile strength of bamboo fiber is very low as it is
recommended to give 350-410 twists per meter. Weaving should be carried out in low moisture regain and low tension as bamboo fiber has lower tensile strength in low moisture regain rate.
DYEING OF BAMBOO FIBER Bamboo fiber is sensitive to acid or alkali so the volume
should be maintained carefully. Reactive dyestuff are suitable as it reacts with bamboo fibre in mild alkaline medium.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF BAMBOO FIBER Cellulose (45-50)% Hemicellulose (20-25)% Lignin (20-30)% Extractives (2.5-5)%
CHARACTERISTICS OF BAMBOO FIBER
