4. What is Cupro fiber ?
• Definition: cupro is a regeneration
celluloseic fiber that comes from cotton
linter* that has been dissolved in a
solution of a ammonia and copper oxide.
5. Origin and Evolution
• J.P bemberg is the inventor of the cupro fiber,
• First the commercial product placed in
Germany (1897)
• Introduced to Japan (1982)
• Manufacturing of cupro begun in Japan (1931)
6. Bembergstrabe
Bemberg is the trademark name of cupro fiber.
Still there are only two manufacturers of cupro
in the world
• Asaahi-Kasei
• American Bemberg foundation
7. What is it made of ?
Bemberg is produced from linter
The short, downy fiber that enfolds and
protects the cotton seed.
8. • Cupro is similar to rayon, but breathes and
regulates body temperature like cotton.
• Often used as a silk substitute, cupro is noted
for its ability to create beautifully draped
clothing, except it can be machine-washed
and dried.
• Cupro is a antistatic fabric that is resistant to
stretching out of shape at higher temperature
9. Cupro is 100% pure regenerated cellulose fiber which, unlike
natural fibers almost perfectly round and free from surface
and structural disordered.
• As a result
Cupro is a smooth , fresh, free comfort, creative and elegant fibers like the
cotton linter from which it originates is biodegradable and gentle on the
experiment
10. Manufacturing of Cupro:
Cupro is a regenerated cellulose fibre derived from
cotton linter and its name comes from cuprammonium,
which refers to the process of dissolving pure cellulose
in an ammonium solution of copper oxide at low
temperature in a nitrogen atmosphere, followed by
extruding through spinnerets into a sulphuric acid
solution necessary to decompose cuprammonium
complex to cellulose. The cuprammonium is obtained
from the aqueous cuprammonium hydroxide solvent
and the 1st bath contains warm water where the
filaments are stretched and the second bath containing
dilute H2SO4 completes the coagulation.
So Cellulose + Cuprammonium hydroxide CuproThe
international organization standardization prefers the
name cupro.
11. What makes it UNIQUE?
Its characteristics make it UNIQUE
Cherecteristics
• Breathable
• Gentle, low-friction contact with the skin.
• Hydrophilic fiber (11% moisture regain)
outstanding dye ability.
• Anti-Static
• Eco-friendly fiber.
12. Application:
• Linings: the smooth surface and performance of
the fiber allows us to use bemberg as lining .
• Outwear: Formal & casual wear with the natural
comfort, quality, elegance, and function of
Bemberg in woven, jersey, cross-knit and many
other fabrics.
• Active-wear: Good elasticity and breathability
allows us to use cupro in active-wear.
• Innerwear: Because of cupros breathability and
strachability it can be perfect material for lingerie
.
17. Analyzing the Turkis market
Market reachearch:
• Turkis market of fabric lacks this new technology, multi-use
fiber.
• Production cost in Turkey are high, therefore its windons is
open to imports.
• Turkis people always look for comfortable clothing that can
aid them in daily-life, business-life or sports
• Competitors:
• Different local and foreign firms are trying to
develop a fiber with such as characteristics .
• Other manufacturers of cupro “Asai-Kasai” might lunch a
competing marketing campaign.
