What are the properties of bamboo fiber?

Properties associated with bamboo fabric are as follows:

• Bamboo fabric is soft, durable and breathable.
Bamboo fiber has a great water absorption capacity and this property is due to the presence of various micro-gaps present in the structure of the bamboo fabric.
• Bamboo fabric is non-irritating and soft to the skin.
• Bamboo plants have a presence of a bacteriostatic agent called “bamboo Kun” which imparts anti-bacterial and anti-fungal property to bamboo. In addition, bamboo Kun helps the growth of odour producing bacteria.
