What is Apocynum?
Apocynum has been It is named after it grows widely around Lop Nur in Xinjiang. It is widely distributed on the river beaches along the Tarim River and its tributaries, with the most concentrated distribution in Yuli County in the middle reaches of the Tarim River. The leaves of Apocynum can be used to make tea, which can remove sediments from blood vessel walls, soften blood vessels, lower blood pressure and clear fat. The stem bark is a good fiber raw material and an ideal new natural textile raw material. The fiber of Apocynum has the best quality among the wild fiber plants that have been discovered. The fiber is thin and long. It is an ideal new natural textile material. Textile raw materials, known as the “King of Wild Fibers”. Clothing made of finely processed apocynum fiber has the characteristics of good air permeability, strong hygroscopicity, softness, antibacterial, warm in winter and cool in summer.
Applications of Apocynum
Apocynum is just beginning in China Utilized hemp fiber. Because apocynum fiber is thinner than ramie, its single fiber strength is five to six times greater than cotton, and its elongation is only 3%, making it softer than other hemp fibers. It also contains higher cellulose than other hemp types, so it is an excellent textile. fiber material. Apocynum fiber can be blended with cotton, wool or silk to be woven into various blended cotton cloths, woolen fabrics and silk fabrics. Varieties blended with wool include gabardine, serge, Validin, etc.; varieties blended with cotton include serge, gabardine, linen, etc.; varieties blended with spun silk include Luojuan, etc. Apocynum fabric is more wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant than ordinary fabrics, has greater hygroscopicity and less shrinkage. It is a promising variety among linen fabrics.
Advantages of Apocynum
Antibacterial properties: no special treatment is required during subsequent processing, and it is naturally antibacterial to a certain extent Sex, mainly because apocynum fiber contains a certain amount of acetone, which has a strong inhibitory effect on many bacteria. At the same time, there are pores inside the apocynum fiber, which also has a certain inhibitory effect on anaerobic bacteria. It is used in socks, underwear and other clothing There are certain applications in the field.
Anti-ultraviolet: The cross-sectional structure of apocynum fiber is very complex and has strong anti-ultraviolet effect, which can block the Most ultraviolet rays are widely used in anti-violet clothing in summer.
Antistatic properties: Apocynum also has a high moisture regain rate, reaching about 13%, so the woven apocynum Linen fabrics not only have good moisture absorption and breathability, but also have a certain antistatic effect. Generally, the surface of fibers with low moisture regain is sprayed with a certain antistatic agent, but this will have a certain impact on the hand feel, so wearing clothes made of apocynum It is cool and comfortable, and is generally used in summer clothing.
