Discover the benefits of bamboo/polyester, a better and more advanced fabric than simple cotton
Did you know that the bamboo plant is one of the most renewable resources on the planet? And what is one of the most inexhaustible?
In this note, we will talk about the main fabric in the latest collection of men's underwear and pajamas from El Búho Nocturno. Once again, we are committed to a responsible way of production because the woven fabric is of natural origin and from sustainable sources. In this way, El Búho Nocturno provides you with men's summer pajamas and boxers made of woven of the highest quality while taking care of the environment.
The bamboo:
"What does this mean? That bamboo does not need too much water, nor chemical products to protect it. There are also no certain resources behind its growth that require energy and money. Using bamboo woven is betting on quality and health; it is an eco-friendly fabric as it produces 35% more oxygen than other trees and, in addition, it is renewable and sustainable."
How is the bamboo fabric used in the manufacture of our men's pajamas and boxers obtained?
1) The pulp of the cane (cellulose fiber) is extracted. This process can be carried out through a mechanical process or a chemical process. The first is more ecological and it is important to differentiate them because, from the second, what is known as bamboo viscose is obtained.
2) Not enough.
3) It is dried and brushed. This step is what makes the fabric clean.
4) The scouring is done so that it acquires softness.
5) It is bleached and dyed.
6) The result: a quality garment that invites you to be part of anyone's wardrobe, even aligning itself with more exclusive fabrics such as silk.
El Búho Nocturno has chosen to make the latest line of underwear with natural bamboo fibers because, among its many benefits, it is a woven that is hypoallergenic (recommended for sensitive and allergic skin as it does not contain lanolin, a fatty substance obtained from some animals). Additionally, it is absorbent and breathable (even more so than cotton). It contains a chemical called KUN which is characterized as a natural bactericide that eliminates 99% of the bacteria that come into contact with the woven, making it a material that does not easily retain bad odors since the bacteria present in the human body are eradicated.
In turn, it is a woven very soft to the touch and comfortable. Furthermore, it is a practical woven because it gets dirty less than other fabrics and helps regulate body temperature. It is cool for summer and warm for winter; it aligns with the body's own temperature. Additionally, garments made from bamboo are more durable and long-lasting.
