Crabyon
- The T-shirt made from a Crab's chitosan fiber.
Our
range of underwear and clothing designed especially for
sensitive and delicate skin, is made with this amazing new
fiber composed of Crabyon-Chitosan Micromodal.
Studied
and tested as antibacterial, an allergic and ecocompatible
The
Crabyon Chitosan fiber is suitable for subjects suffering
skin troubles (dermatitis, allergies, decubitus irritation,
erythema, ezcema). Absolute comfort for sensitive and
delicate skin.
No
pollution! It is biodegradable! |
-
Effective of antibacterial function for a long time
Because Chitin/Chitosan is a built-in part of CRABYON, its antibacterial function stays unchanged against washing or abrasion for a long time.
-
Ratio of Chitin/Chitosan in CRABYON is widely variable
Ratio of Chitin/Chitosan can be varied in
wide range of 1 to 99% depending on requirement of fiber. Blended spinning can be done with other fibers such
as wool, cotton, etc.
-
Excellent for weak or sensitive skin
CRABYON keeps skin from drying because its
moisture keeping property is more excellent than any other cellulosic fiber.
At the same time it gives a velvet touch and no irritation to the skin. CRABYON is safe and comfortable even for people with weak or sensitive
skin like babies or aged people.
-
No change in physical properties
Physical properties of CRABYON are almost
the same as those of regular rayon fiber.
- The dyeability of reactive dyes and direct dyes to CRABYON is excellent
Dyes CRABYON shows excellent touch
and hue.
- CRABYON is very helpful in conserving the
biosystem
Chitin/Chitosan, with activation of Iysozyme, is a natural organic resource essential to conservation of
biosystem of the earth. CRABYON has been developed with the idea of making
the most use of this natural resource.
- A lot of consideration to the environment
OMIKENSHI is making the most use of waste from crab meat processing factories,
crab shell, as raw material of Chitin/Chitosan.
In 1997 OMIKENSHI was award the Ministery of International Trade and Industry
Prize at the Recycle Promoting Council for contribution to recycle of
resources through production of CRABYON.
CRABYON is totally biodegradable. In this sense it is no burden to the
environment.
The
idea behind the development of CRABYON is the fact that
chemical structure of Chitin/Chitosan is quite similar to
that of cellulose.
The idea led to development of technology to make Chitin/Chitosan
viscose. CRABYON, composite fiber of Chitin/Chitosan and
cellulose, is manufactured by uniformly blending Chitin/Chitosan
and cellulose viscose molecules and extruding the blended viscose into
the spin-bath. OMIKENSHI
has a patent for this technology in Japan and U.S.A
under the title "Process for producing articles of
regenerated Chitin/Chitosan containing material and the
resulting articles". The same patent is pending in U.K.,
Germany, France, Italy, and Austria.
There are two other types of fibers
containing Chitin/Chitosan.
After treatment type
Chitin/Chitosan is fixed on the fabric with binder. It
is apparent that Chitin/Chitosan decreases as fabric is
washed, leading to lesser function.
Mixed type
Chitin Chitosan powder is simply mixed with cellulose
viscose. The more the physical properties of fiber weakens
during wearing/washing the higher the
percentage of powder becomes, there is a limit of
quantities of powder to be mixed. (Fig. 2)
As you can see, CRABYON is completely different from the
above two types fiber.

What
is CRABYON?
Composite Fiber of Chitin, Chitosan and Cellulose: Only one in the
world Chitin/Chitosan, natural substance, nowadays attracts a lot of
attention in the field of medicine and food for improving human health.
OMIKENSHI, have established a commercial process to produce Chitin/Chitosan
solution without using organic solvent and commercialized production of
fiber under the brand name of CRABYON by co-extruding with cellulose
viscose.
Why
Chitin/Chitosan?
One
point is its high function. It is known that
Chitin/Chitosan is biologically produced on
the earth in large quantities and that Chitin/Chitosan
has many excellent properties. Major and basic
function is activation of LYSOZYME and
CHITINASE, enzymes which decompose cell
membrane and inhibit growth of disease
bacteria. Through this function natural bio
system is kept well balanced and human body is
protected against disease bacteria and toxic
substances.
The other point is its safety. Since
Chitin is 100% natural it is quite a safe
substance. Safety has been well verified through
oral intake and dermal absorption tests. This is
quite different from the other organic and
inorganic functional materials now in the
market.
These two points are key elements for Chitin/Chitosan.
In the worsening environment of the earth, it
is quite essential to rely on the natural
substance such as CRABYON for improving human
health.
