Crabyon Fibre




Do you know about Crabyon Fibre?
CRABYON is totally new fiber based on the technology of making Chitin/Chitosan into fiber.

The idea behind the development of #CRABYON is the fact that chemical structure of Chitin/Chitosan is quite similar to that of cellulose
The #CRABYONfibre is developed with a blend of #Chitosan and #viscose. Chitosan is a product derived from Chitin, a compound of natural origin obtained from the shell of crab and shell of fish. Chitin is an absolutely “safe” material, with a scientifically proved bio compatibility. It is used in the medical, health and pharmacological fields too.
The chemical structure of Chitosan is similar to that of cellulose, therefore blending of CRABYON fibre with cotton and viscose is extremely versatile and easy to dye. In order to obtain appropriate functional property, the percentage of CRABYON may vary from 5 to 20% in the fabric, depending the customer’s requirement, i.e. higher the percentages better the antimicrobial property.
