The Efficacy Of "Bamboo Fiber" In Shopping Malls Does Not Match The Reality. Pure Natural Fiber Cannot Be Made Into Textiles

Now in some shopping malls and supermarkets, bamboo fiber products are sold very well, such as bamboo fiber towels Underwear , bedding, etc. Businesses also say that bamboo fiber products have the functions of cooling, sweat absorption and sterilization.

The reporter visited many large shopping malls and supermarkets in Shijiazhuang, and found that there are many kinds of bamboo fiber sold here, including bamboo fiber towels, sleeping mats, underwear, etc., and the price of bamboo fiber products is still high. A towel can be bought from 30 to 100. The salesperson of the supermarket told the reporter that the bamboo fiber has good water absorption and is cool. It is relatively soft after drying.

However, the salesmen in these supermarkets are not very familiar with what bamboo fiber is. Some say that bamboo fiber is extracted from bamboo, while others say that bamboo fiber is extracted from pure cotton. The seller's explanation was confusing. It was found in the online store that this bamboo fiber magnetic therapy pillow, which is marked with the logo of health care, has the effects of improving blood microcirculation in the brain and neck, promoting cell metabolism, activating cells, regulating endocrine, etc. Some businesses promote bamboo fiber spin The products can "release far-infrared rays, store heat and keep warm", "rich in potassium and calcium, promote health" and other functions. Are these products really as amazing as the sellers say?

To this end, the reporter consulted Gong Yanru, an inspector of Shijiazhuang Fiber Inspection Institute, who said that bamboo fiber can be divided into two types: raw bamboo fiber and bamboo pulp fiber. Bamboo fiber is a kind of natural fiber extracted directly from bamboo; Bamboo pulp fiber is a kind of chemical fiber, which is used to glue broken bamboo together with adhesive. As for how to distinguish and identify these two fibers, there is no national standard at present. Therefore, it is impossible to identify whether bamboo fiber products are sold in the market.

In addition, Gong Yanru, an inspector of Shijiazhuang Fiber Inspection Institute, also said that the vast majority of bamboo fiber products claimed in the market at present are bamboo pulp fibers, while the health functions such as sweat absorption and sterilization advertised by businesses cannot be verified or identified. There is no way to verify the radiation protection and other health care functions of bamboo fiber mentioned in the publicity. The health care functions are mostly gimmicks, and consumers should be careful not to cheat.

However, the inspector of the Municipal Fiber Inspection Institute pointed out that the raw bamboo fiber is a pure natural fiber, but it cannot be made into textiles, so most of the products sold on the market are bamboo pulp fibers. The water absorption and air permeability of bamboo pulp fiber have been damaged in the process of processing, and its health care function is not as magical as the business said.

It seems that this bamboo fibre In addition to its own characteristics, the efficacy of the product is not as precarious as the seller said. When shopping for bamboo fiber products, citizens must recognize the signs and treat them objectively. Don't be fooled by publicity stunts.
