With the improvement of people’s quality of life, people’s demand for textile products is also increasing In order to adapt to the diverse needs of people, Hangzhou Youbiao Textile Co., Ltd. has produced Tianlian fiber, a fiber with antipyretic, antibacterial, and anti-UV functions based on years of research and application of textile raw materials.
1 Introduction to Tianlian Fiber
Tianlian fiber is a functional cellulose fiber modified by plant protein. Its raw materials are extracts of effective substances from lotus leaves and lotus seeds and cellulose. , made by special spinning process. It is derived from nature and can be naturally degraded. At the same time, it can resist ultraviolet rays like green plants, retain moisture and produce negative oxygen ions. It is also a new healthy fiber with skin care and body shaping functions.
（1）Lotus leaf: Its chemical ingredients mainly include nuciferine, citric acid, malic acid, gluconic acid, oxalic acid, succinic acid and other alkaline ingredients with anti-mitotic effects, making it antipyretic, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory. Tianlian fiber processed from it has the advantages of breathability, good moisture conductivity, skin care, weight loss, and improvement of sleep.
(2)Lotus seeds:The active ingredients of lotus seeds have an inhibitory effect on hemodynamics, can inhibit myocardial contractility, slow down heart rate, dilate coronary arteries, relax blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and have anti-arrhythmic and anti-myocardial ischemia effects. .
The alkaloids in lotus seeds have anti-free radical effects . Lotus seed heart decoction has been shown to have a preventive effect on this model through ventricular blood cell aggregation experiments. Lotus seeds have anti-aging and life-extending effects. The alkaloids in lotus seeds have inhibitory activity on the ADT enzyme on the brain cell membrane.
2 Tianlian fiber characteristics
(1) Natural, green and environmentally friendly.
(2) Moisture-absorbing and breathable. It has good moisture absorption and release properties and moisturizes human skin.
(3) Soft and comfortable.
3 Tianlian fiber functions
（1）Resistant to UV rays. Tianlian fiber has UV protection function, and its 100% knitted fabric has UVA and UVB The transmittance is 1.54%, and the ultraviolet protection factor UPF is 50, which is an excellent grade.
(2)Conserves moisture. Water is the source of life, and moisture is the first element of beautiful skin, including whitening, sun protection, Oil control, anti-acne, and anti-aging are all completed on the basis of moisturized skin. Reduced moisture has become the main source of skin aging. Whether skin cells are plump and plump; whether skin texture is smooth and tender; whether skin tone is crystal clear, all depend on the skin. With medium moisture content, Tianlian fiber is rich in a large amount of hydrophilic groups, which can lock in a large amount of moisture for your skin, keeping your skin in a moist and healthy state.
(3)Beauty, skin care and body sculpting. dayLotus fiber can decompose free radicals produced by the human body, eliminate skin fatigue, thereby strengthening and consolidating skin cells to keep them young. It can also inhibit the increase in fat cells in the body. Therefore, Tianlian fiber has a certain body shaping function and allows people to maintain a healthy body shape.
（4）Negative oxygen ions. Tianlian fiber has been tested by the National Textile Industry Quality Supervision Center, and the negative oxygen ion concentration is 5500/ CM, like the air quality near the forest, can be imagined to be like wearing the forest on the body, which is very beneficial to the human body’s immunity.
4 Market Application of Tianlian Fiber
Biomass functional Tianlian protein fiber can be combined with cotton fiber, Tencel fiber, Modal fiber, bamboo fiber, wool and silk, etc. Mixed according to a certain proportion and using a unique spinning process, Tianlian protein fiber series yarns are made. This series of yarns not only have the excellent functions of Tianlian protein fiber, but also integrate the characteristics of Tencel, Modal and other fibers. The non-woven mask made of Tianlian protein fiber can absorb dirt and oil deep in the face, leaving the face fresh, bright and refreshed after use. The unique properties of biomass functional Tianlian protein fiber and the ease of spinning and processing make its processed products have broad market potential.
