Studies have shown that the bamboo plant is naturally antibacterial. There’s something in the plant itself. I think it’s called bamboo kun. It’s inherent to the plant. That is what makes the plant antibacterial. That characteristic stays with the bamboo fiber all the way through the manufacturing process.
While growing, it resists bacteria. That eliminates any kind of chemical antimicrobial treatments you might need during processing. Those can cause skin allergy and irritation. The plant is naturally resistant. You don’t have to add those kinds of things when you’re processing it.
It’s an amazing plant aside from that. It grows prolifically. If you have a garden with bamboo, you know what I mean. You almost can't get rid of the stuff.
Happy Quilting!
