The truth of the palm (the coconut) from after extracting the juice, the pulp and the oil and fat, many of the generally known palm shell which remains drying, are made the fuel, but around the area of production there are also some which are left. In fiber field being thick, stiffness for the sake of, with other companies utilizing this character, it utilized the fiber which forms the palm shell as a development, in the mat and the broom.
It succeeded in this time, this corporation doing being thin from this palm shell with new technology, the soft fiber (below, only the coconut fiber) extracting, the solution fiber. The cotton corporation the inside and outside new the cotton blended this coconut fiber with individual technology, did cotton spinning the blended yarn.
Presently, it is development schedule in 3 kinds of 10 counts of coconut fiber 30% mixing, 20 counts of 20% mixing and 30 counts of 10% mixing, but from future you aim also the production of the high count. This corporation correspondence does " COCO summer goods language - the JAVA COCONUT COTTON (the tentative name) " as these cotton blended yarn use materials, the temporary ? the wear, the casual shirt and the polo shirt, develops in the jeans, the jacket, the interior and sleeping equipment-related use in 2006 100000000 Yen in gross sales, aims toward 300000000 Yen in gross sales in 2009.
This corporation Okinawa prefecture, being joint with the Mitsubishi Paper Mills, Ltd. corporation and the cotton corporation the inside and outside new in the August last year, separating the crust of the sugarcane of the Okinawa prefecture product beforehand, develops the technology which it makes the fiber for the clothing, it is in the midst of developing as an application of the real biomath resource, the temporary ? which utilizes this it does and the wear and the like is popular. Application of the latest palm shell follows to the sugarcane, the real biomath resource application series feature it is 2nd, it is something which shows the will whose is strong to environmental preservation match of this corporation.
Furthermore, presently, bamboo forest damage is rumored, but we develop also the technology which extracts the bamboo fiber individually, it is the schedule which is developed together the 3rd feature " JAVA BAMBOO COTTON of biomath resource application (the tentative name)" as. (Development timewise undecided)
" COCO summer goods language - JAVA COCONUT COTTON (tentative name) " feature
1. The ecology fiber by the effective utilization of the biomath resource (the non- petroleum type circulating type environmental consideration material) With the Javan island the palm has grown gregariously, the truth of the palm during one year has become the bell growing.
These, everyday being collected inmarket in the market, are utilized and as the coconut,the palm shell which is peeled there is left in accumulation.
The fact that it utilizes this palm shell as the biomath resource is quite effective match exhaustion of resources and pressure of waste disposal burden today when fear it is done, as a part of terrestrial environmental preservation activity.
2. Porous fiber
If the coconut fiber is observed with the electron microscope, the hole of number mu m several dozen, has penetrated to honeycomb condition in the section about 100 mu m, you can see the many hole even on the side. The palm shell active carbon goes out and can nod the fact that it is utilized as the ill-smelling material. It depends on also the mixed ratio of the coconut fiber, but the natural going out ill-smelling characteristic was verified at trial manufacture stage of cloth. In addition, it is thought the plant has for life support, you verified also natural anti-bacterial characteristic in the same way.
3. Resort feeling
You cannot miss the palm as the symbol of the tropical. This corporation seeking would like to keep doing the coconut fiber, as the optimum trade material which can express tropical resort feeling.
