BambooTecc is a NEW covering fabric ideal for use in the manufacture or adaption of foot orthotics, insoles, shoe linings and orthopaedic bracing.

The properties of Bamboo have been known and used in Asia for hundreds of years, but only by utilising modern manufacturing techinques, can we now fully utilise these properties.

How?

Bamboo which grows to maturity in 4-5 years is harvested, dried, heated and in a proprietary method, processed into nano sized particles. The Micro cavities in the surface of the Bamboo help wicking, trapping bacteria and regulating temperature. BambooTecc yarns and fabrics use embedded nano-particles of activated Bamboo Charcoal. We use several combinations (Polyester, Cotton etc) with variable percentages of Bamboo for different functions.
