Coconut Charcoal Fiber

Coconut charcoal fiber is an environmentally friendly fiber. It is made by heating the fiber of coconut shell to 1200 ℃ to generate activated carbon, which is then mixed with polyester and added with other chemicals to make coconut charcoal masterbatch, and then diluted with polyester as a carrier to produce coconut charcoal long and short fibers. Alfa Chemistry offers coconut charcoal fiber products to meet your specific needs.

Classification

Coconut charcoal fiber is divided into polyester-based coconut charcoal fiber and viscose-based coconut charcoal fiber according to the different preparation carriers. Polyester-based coconut charcoal fiber is coconut charcoal fiber prepared with polyester as a carrier, and viscose-based coconut charcoal fiber is coconut charcoal fiber prepared with viscose as a carrier. The performance comparison analysis results of polyester-based coconut charcoal fiber and ordinary polyester fiber are shown in the following table.

Features

Strong adsorption and effective odor removal.

Coconut charcoal fiber has strong adsorption capacity and can effectively absorb odor, formaldehyde, oil smoke, benzene, etc. in the air in a short time. The average deodorization rate is between 30% and 35%. Its microporous structure is directly distributed on the solid surface, so that the adsorbate molecules can directly reach the adsorption site of the micropores, shortening the adsorption journey and accelerating the adsorption rate.

Release negative ions and improve air quality.

Coconut charcoal fiber can cause a potential difference between negative ion crystals to form an electric field. High voltage ionizes the air in the electric field and releases negative ions. High concentrations of negative ions can sterilize and remove dust, reduce disease transmission, and have a certain disinfection and purification effect on the air.

Rich in minerals and excellent functional sustainability.

Coconut charcoal fiber is rich in various minerals, including 93% to 96% charcoal, 0.647% potassium, 0.036% calcium, 0.030% magnesium, 0.017% manganese, 0.004% aluminum, and 0.001% zirconium. Various trace elements have the effects of activating cells, cleaning blood, relieving fatigue, and improving allergic constitution. They will not disappear due to the increase in wearing or washing times, and have good durability.

Radiate far infrared rays and promote metabolism.

Coconut charcoal fiber absorbs heat from the human body and the outside world, and the molecular structure is stimulated by heat to produce vibrations, which can absorb and emit far infrared rays with an electromagnetic wavelength of 4 to 14 μm. The infrared rays in this band are similar to the far infrared rays of the human body radiation peak, which produces resonance absorption, causing friction between molecules to generate heat, raising the subcutaneous temperature, accelerating blood circulation, and promoting metabolism, thereby achieving the effect of keeping warm and health care.

Applications

Coconut charcoal fiber is a versatile and environmentally friendly material. Its applications include but are not limited to:

Air and water filtration systems. Coconut charcoal fiber is commonly used in air purifiers and water filters to remove impurities, odors, and contaminants.
Personal care products. Coconut charcoal fiber is used in skincare products such as facial masks and cleansers to absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin.
Textiles and apparel. Coconut charcoal fiber is used in clothing and textiles for its moisture-wicking properties, odor control, and thermal regulation.
Household products. Coconut charcoal fiber is used in products such as activated charcoal bags for odor absorption, mattress toppers for temperature regulation, and compostable packaging materials.
