Basic description: Bamboo Charcoal

What is Bamboo Charcoal?

Bamboo charcoal has a long history in China and has been documented as early as 1486 B.C. during the Ming Dynasty in . Later, it was also mentioned in the Qing Dynasty during the rule of Kang Xi, Qian Long and Guang Xu.
Called Takesumi or Chikutan in Japanese, bamboo charcoal burnt at high temperatures exhibits properties vastly different from the bamboo plant, including a high density and porous structure.

The many cavities of bamboo charcoal can attach different substances to their walls, and then release them later. For example, they can absorb moisture from humid air, and then release it during dry conditions. This makes it an excellent humidity regulator. It also has high mineral content such as calcium, potassium, sodium and iron.

Bamboo charcoal has other benefits, too: it absorbs unpleasant room odours and harmful substances, generates negative ions that will put people in a better frame of mind, and emits far-infrared that helps to improve blood circulation.
Also known as “Black Diamond”, bamboo charcoal products are well received in Japan, Korea and Taiwan. Over the years, many uses have been created for household to bedding and personal care.

什么是竹炭?

◎◎竹炭是以五年以上深山老毛竹为原材料，采用千度高温，历时20多天，在无氧状态下干馏炭化而成。它的分子结构呈六角形，质地坚硬，细密多孔，吸附能力强，是活性炭的最佳原料；竹炭的空隙度高，非常适合作为土壤生物和有机营养成分的载体，可以增强土壤活力，是一种良好的土壤改良剂；竹炭也是良好的净水处理剂、电磁波遮蔽剂、有害气体吸附剂。该产品是一种替代乌岗炭的优良产品，由于其炭质致密，比重大，孔隙多，矿物质含量丰富，且表面积高达700平方米/克，它具有较强的吸附分解能力，吸湿干燥，消臭抗菌及负离子穿透作用等性能，中间以优质颗粒作填充层，经精工细作而成，融工艺性、舒适性、透气性、养生保健功能于一身，其产品具有抑制真菌繁衍、吸湿、除臭、止痒、消肿生肌、防治于一体，集保健性、舒爽性、卫生性于一身。竹炭纤维具有冬暖夏凉，抗菌消臭效果，而聚集竹炭300克━500克时可产生远红外线效果，对人体健康及脑细胞活化非常有益，另可产生负离子空气以提升国民生活品质。
