Process of Making Bamboo Fabric

Soft leaves and inner pith of the bamboo trunk are taken & crushed to form bamboo cellulose.

Bamboo cellulose is then soaked in solution of 15-20% hydrogen peroxide for one to three hours at 20-25 degrees C. The resultant will be alkali cellulose.

Then through the processing, excess of hydrogen peroxide is removed from alkali cellulose. This followed by crushing of cellulose and drying it for 24 hours.

Carbon disulfide (about one third) is added to bamboo alkali cellulose to sulfurize it and to convert it in the form of jell.

Then the remaining carbon disulfide is evaporated that results in sodium xanthogenate.

In sodium xanthogenate, diluted solution of sodium hydroxide is added. This creates the viscose solution containing 7-15% of bamboo fiber cellulose and 5% sodium hydroxide.

The viscose solution is then passed through the spinneret nozzle into a container containing diluted sulphuric acid. This results in the hardening of viscose bamboo cellulose sodium xanthogenate and reconvert it into bamboo fiber threads that are now spun to form bamboo fiber yarn. The bamboo fiber yarn is then used to make bamboo fabric.
