Main
characteristics of CRABYON
|
|
- Effective of antibacterial function
for a long time |
|
Because Chitin/Chitosan is a built-in
part of CRABYON, its antibacterical function
stays unchanged against washing or abrasion
for a long time.
|
|
-
Ratio of Chitin/Chitosan in CRABYON is widely
variable |
|
Ratio of Chitin/Chitosan can be varied
in wide range of 1 to 99% depending on requirement
of fiber.
Blended spinning can be done with other
fibers such as wool, cotton, etc.
|
|
-
Excellent for weak or sensitive skin |
|
CRABYON keeps skin from dryng because its
moisture keeping property is more excellent
than any other cellulosic fiber. At the
same time it gives velvet touch and no irritation
to the skin. So that CRABYON is safe and
comfortable even for people with weak or
sensitive skin like babies or aged.
|
|
-
No change in physical properties |
|
Physical properties of CRABYON are almost
the same as those of regular rayon fiber.
|
|
-
The dyeability of reactive dyes and dyrect
dyes to CRABYON is excellent. |
|
Dyes CRABYON shows excellent touch and
hue.
|
|
-
CRABYON is very helpful in conserving the
biosystem. |
|
Chitin/Chiotosan, with activation of lysozime,
is a natural organic resource essential
to conservation of bipsystem of the earth.
CRABYON has been developed with the idea
of making the most use of this natural resource.
|
|
-
A lot of consideration to the environment |
|
We are making the most use of waste from
crab meat processing factories, crab shell,
as raw material of Chitin/Chitosan.
In 1997 OMIKENSHI was award the Minister
of International Trade and Industry Prize
at the Recycle Promoting Council for contribution
to recycle of resources through production
of CRABYON.
CRABYON is totally biodegradable. In this
sense it gives no burden to the environment.
