We very often come across such names as organic cotton, Japanese organic cotton, cellulose, viscose and other exotic for us fibrous materials like bamboo, nettle, technical hemp, etc. In Japan, cotton is practically not grown. Cotton raw materials in Japan since the year 30. 20th century imported. Based on the decoding of the list of countries producing organic cotton, according to the US Department of Agriculture, the main producers of this raw material are mainly China, India and Turkey. But in fact, in these countries organic cotton is produced according to the rules adopted to recognize it organic in the amount of 0.1% of the total harvested crop. White organic cotton, incl. with specks, does not exist, it is produced only 4 colors (ivory, brown, red and green.) When selling organic cotton, products must be labeled in accordance with the requirements of the standards adopted in the world. Such labeling should ensure to the consumer that pesticides, in particular defoliants, are not used in the cultivation and manufacture of this product, so that the plant, at the final stages of growth, discards the foliage for the convenience of harvesting. Also, such cotton should not be subjected to any liquid treatment or chemical cleaning. Now a few words about cellulose and viscose. Viscose fiber is a derivative of cellulose (wood, cotton, etc.) Viscose is an artificial cellulose fiber obtained by chemical processing of natural cellulose. Produced in the form of textile and cord yarn and staple fiber. Thus, cellulosic raw materials (cotton, wood, etc.) undergo a multilevel process of chemical and mechanical processing before becoming viscose) Remember this fact? Further useful) But viscose fiber in the process of further processing accumulates static electricity charges, dictates the need to use different lubricants for further processing of viscose. In the production of our flax-viscose material, such substances are not used, because the percentage of viscose allows you not to resort to the use of such additives)). The chemical composition of linseed fiber is slightly different from cotton (less rich in cellulose), also in the composition of flax and cotton, there are fats, waxes, lignins, but according to morphology - these are two different products. The fiber of flax is straightened, and the cellulose is highly oriented, so the linen fiber is very little elongated under load, and the elementary fiber is a kind of capillary tube. After harvesting from the trust (harvested from the field of flax), the fiber is extracted by mechanical processing (it is cleared from the bast - the wood component of the stem), which then (for our product) enters the further liquid chlorine free treatment. This treatment is necessary in order to maximally reduce the content of chemical impurities in the fiber - fat, lignin, pectin, waxes, and also to ensure cleaning of the possible presence of a residual amount of herbicides. Thus, we get a clean product (quality control for the residual content of substances in the factory laboratory, the presence of a toxicological conclusion), which goes to the mechanical processing for the production of the finished product. Now go to the section of flavors when hovering) It would seem: why when using real organic cotton, flavors may appear when floating after changing cotton wool? The answer to this question lies in the composition of the liquid - there is propylene glycol, which is an excellent solvent, including for the impurities that are contained in the fiber and which are written above. Thus, by entering into contact with the impurities of the fiber and dissolving them, new components appear in the liquid, which give an aftertaste (provided that the matter is not in the burnt cotton). And this continues until the system comes to an equilibrium with respect to the content of these impurities. Also, a small amount of substances can be adsorbed on the material from the hands during installation. But this amount is small and the taste goes away quickly. Therefore, on the previously purified materials (flax and viscose), the taste can be felt almost immediately
