development of the product and the technology?
¡¡¡¡
A: "TANBOOCEL" bamboo fiber is a kind of regenerated
cellulose fiber made from bamboo with patent technology. It¡¯s
a natural and environmental friendly fiber with advantages like
high tenacity and good spinnability. Apart from the development
of new textile raw materials, we adopt a new operation mode
of industry alliance. Jigao Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. is an affiliated
company of Jilin Chemical Fiber integrating production of dissolving
pulp, viscose fiber, heating and power. Relying on the industrial
advantage of Jilin Chemical Fiber, we established industry alliance
of "TANBOOCEL" bamboo fiber. About 32 enterprises covering
raw materials, yarn spinning, dyeing & finishing, fabric
and end-users joined the alliance. "TANBOOCEL" bamboo
fiber is the new product of not only Jigao Chemical Fiber but
also the whole alliance.
We started making bamboo pulp in 1999 and successfully produced
bamboo fiber. The process was tested in 2001 and we realized
the industrial and commercial production later. There was
over 200 tons demand in 2001 and the volume increased to over
1000 tons in 2006. We will keep making effort to improve the

Q: What if bamboo fiber becomes as common as cotton fiber, how
will you further the development of "TANBOOCEL" bamboo
fiber?
A: Our market ideology about "TANBOOCEL" bamboo fiber
is to realize industrial production and then marketization,
good quality, seriation and fictionalization. We have achieved
good quality now. Like cotton fiber, we have solved the problems
of water shrinkage, crimping and pilling. It can be blended
with wool, flax, silk and cotton. At present, we are working
on seriation of the product. We can make 1D for high-count
yarns, which are extremely light. We can also produce coarser
denier for stuffing like 5D. Therefore, the life cycled of
"TANBOOCEL" bamboo fiber was prolonged. |
