Are bamboo fibers counted as artificial cotton?
No, because artificial cotton is dissolved in the solvent in the fiber, and then from the very fine nozzle to form filaments, similar to spider drawing. Bamboo fiber is a kind of cellulose fiber extracted from natural bamboo. It is the fifth natural fiber after cotton, flax, wool and silk. Bamboo fiber has good air permeability, instant water absorption, strong abrasion resistance and good dyeing properties, and has the functions of natural antibacterial, bacteriostasis, mite removal, deodorization and anti ultraviolet.
Not to count, is to use high-quality natural bamboo as raw material, after a special high-tech processing, the extraction of cellulose from bamboo, and then through the gum, spinning and other processes made of regenerated cellulose fiber. Chemical composition of bamboo fiber bamboo fiber is mainly cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin (Table 1), 3 persons with a high amount of chitosan fiber accounted for more than 90% of the dry mass, followed by protein, fat, pectin, tannin, pigment, ash, most in the cell lumen or special the organelles, directly or indirectly involved in its physiological function.
Artificial cotton is to dissolve cellulose in the solvent, and then from the very fine nozzle, the formation of filaments, similar to spider drawing. Artificial cotton is not only cellulose, but also a lot of other chemical fibers. Bamboo fiber is naturally formed, not artificial cotton
