Wicking, quick drying, odor absorbing and UV protective, Carbon from Bamboo delivers high-performance fabrics:
Carbon from Bamboo technology utilizes the highly porous nature of carbon to dramatically increase the surface area of the fabric. Consequently, there is more area to wick and disperse moisture, which also decreases dry time. Studies show that Carbon from Bamboo technology achieves a 50 percent increase in moisture transfer compared to standard polyester.
Odor Absorption
The highly porous nature of Carbon from Bamboo also acts as a net to trap odor-causing molecules where they can quickly decompose without releasing any odor.
UV Protection
The same porous structure of Carbon from Bamboo, along with its dark black color, work in tandem at a microscopic level to trap harmful UV rays. The performance qualities of Carbon from Bamboo do not diminish with incremental laundering. Since the carbon is added to the polymer, it becomes part of the fabric instead of a coating that washes away over time. Carbon from Bamboo will maintain its performance qualities over the lifetime of the garment.
