Bamboo Production
Carbonization bamboo material become used in construction generally, it is to place bamboo chips in a high temperature, high humidity, and high-pressure environment to decompose and denature the organic compounds in the bamboo, such as sugar, starch, protein, and to kill bacteria. Due to the coking of bamboo fiber, the surface hardness of bamboo is increased, but the flexibility of bamboo is reduced.
Bamboo Properties
Bamboo is light weight, flexible, tough, high tensile, competitive price than the other building materials. It can produce become carbonization bamboo used in various building works the structures are flexible, earthquake resistant and friendly environment.
