Due to its special structure, ramie has numerous advantages and is widely used in the textile industry.
1. Ramie fiber is the longest and thinnest among various hemp fibers, and its length is two to seven times longer than the highest grade cotton fiber. Therefore, ramie fabric is seven to eight times stronger than cotton and has less extensibility. Therefore, it is wear-resistant and not easy to deform. It is called “soft gold that will last for thousands of years.”
2. The gaps between the ramie fiber structures are large, so the moisture absorption and air permeability are about 3-5 times that of cotton fiber. Because of its good air permeability, fast heat transfer, large water absorption and high heat and moisture dissipation efficiency , so wearing linen fabrics has a cool feeling.
3. Ramie contains benzene, pyrimidine, purine and other beneficial elements, so it has antibacterial, breathable, cool, antiseptic, anti-mildew, sweat-absorbent and other functions. Not susceptible to mold corrosion and insect infestation, you can use it with confidence and store it for many years.
4. Ramie is also light. Compared with cotton of the same volume, ramie is 20% lighter. It has a light texture when worn on the body.
