How the process of creating of bamboo charcoals proceeds

Yarn with the bamboo charcoals is produced of high quality bamboo grass, which was growing for a period of about 4 years. Then the grass is cut and carbonized in a traditional salt stove in a temperature above 700°C. After 10 days, it becomes good bamboo charcoal with a smooth surface. Material obtained in that way is ground up to  100 nano-meters (a process of nanotechnology).

The next stage is mixing bamboo charcoals with other raw material, for example polyester.  The processes of grinding-up to nano-powder, and its mixing enable bleaching and colouring bamboo like other fabrics.

Because of the process of carbonization in a high temperature, an original and natural colour tint of bamboo colour become coal grey. With light colouring – a grey tint is obvious. The fabric with bamboo charcoals used by SLOGAN has the Oeko-tex certificate and SGS tests.

Carbonization – a process of enriching organic substances with a charcoal element, without an access of oxygen, with a high temperature and pressure.

Nanotechnology – is a general name of a whole set of techniques and ways of producing various structures with nanometrical sizes (since 0,1 to 100 nanometres), hence on a level of single atoms and particles.
