Bamboo fibre is a relatively new product which is produced from Bamboo pulp (like viscose pulp) obtained through a process of hydrolysis/alkalisation and bleaching of bamboo stems. The resulting pulp is wet spun in the same way as other pulp based fibres.
The fibre is white and silky in appearance and is a cool as a result of its high absorbency, due to the fibre being full of cavities. It is soft to handle with good absorbency and can be used in blends with other fibres or 100%. It also has the unique function of being antibacterial.
