  How thick are the soles? Would they suit work boots?

    They're really thin, would avoid for boots and cold weather IMO.

  Bamboo Viscose, very nice

  The process of making bamboo viscose involves the use of several specific chemicals, each playing a crucial role in transforming bamboo into a usable fabric. Here are the key chemicals used in the production of bamboo viscose:

  1. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH): Initially, bamboo pulp is crushed and soaked in Sodium Hydroxide, also known as lye. This chemical helps to break down the bamboo structure, allowing the cellulose fibers to be extracted. Sodium Hydroxide is highly reactive and can cause burns and other injuries if not handled properly. It's also corrosive, posing risks to both workers and the environment.

  2. Carbon Disulfide (CS2): After the initial treatment with Sodium Hydroxide, the pulp is treated with Carbon Disulfide. This chemical reacts with the cellulose to form cellulose xanthate, a precursor to the viscose solution. Carbon Disulfide is highly toxic and can cause severe health issues, including damage to the lungs, nervous system, and other organs upon exposure.

  3. Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4): The cellulose xanthate solution is then diluted with water and forced through a spinneret into a bath of Sulfuric Acid. This acid causes the cellulose xanthate to revert back to cellulose, forming long, thin fibers. Sulfuric Acid is corrosive and poses significant risks to skin, eyes, and respiratory systems. Its presence in the environment can lead to pollution.

  4. Zinc Sulfate (ZnSO4): Alongside Carbon Disulfide, Zinc Sulfate is mentioned as part of the chemicals used in the production of bamboo viscose. While the exact role of Zinc Sulfate in the process is not detailed in the sources, it is likely used as a catalyst or stabilizer in the conversion of cellulose xanthate to viscose.

  These chemicals are integral to the production of bamboo viscose, but they also pose significant environmental and health risks. The process requires careful handling and management to mitigate these risks. Efforts towards more sustainable and closed-loop production methods are ongoing to address some of these concerns, focusing on minimizing waste and reducing the environmental impact of the chemicals used.

    Sarcasm?

    Bamboo + chemicals = rayon, not bamboo any more, afaik
