The
Crabyon®
fiber is realized with a blend of chitosan
and viscose. Chitosan is a product derived from chitin,
a compound of natural origin obtained from the shell of crab and
shellfish. Chitin is an absolutely “safe”
material, with a scientifically proved biocompatibility, and it is
used in the medical, health and pharmacological fields too. The
chitosan’s structure is very similar to cellulose, so
in blends with cotton and viscose the new Crabyon®
fiber is extremely versatile and easy to dye. From
the physical resemblance between chitosan and cellulose derive a very
high textile easiness for manufacturing, with an excellent dye ability
with reactive and direct dyestuff, and a very soft “hand”, who
make the Crabyon blends ideal for use in the textile market. The
fundamental characteristics of chitosan are: 1.
Very strong antibacterial effect 2.
Total biodegradability 3.
Biocompatibility (anallergicity) 4.
High humidity absorption The
antibacterial and antimicrobic performance is given with the inhibition
of the bacteria’s’ growth, so having an anti-smell function
too. The high level of comfort, the anallergicity and
the high humidity absorption (e.g. sweat) give to the
clothes realized with this fiber the capability to be used to direct
skin contact, as in underwear, socks, pyjamas, and so on. The
Crabyon®
fiber, due to the fact that it is a blend of chitosan
and viscose structurally bound, keeps its characteristics
permanently during time, not being conditioned neither by washes,
nor by abrasion or other external actions. The
percentage suggested to obtain the above mentioned characteristics
varies from 5 to 20% on the fabric, depending on the blend. |
