Claim:
A method for making a bamboo fiber material, said method comprising the steps of: (1) preparing bamboo oil by providing a first crude bamboo that is mature for three (3) years or more, subjecting the first crude bamboo to high temperature drying treatment, collecting volatile gases, and condensing the volatile gases to obtain a liquid as the bamboo oil; (2) preparing a bamboo fiber by: a) selecting a second crude bamboo that is mature for three (3) years or more; b) cooking the second crude bamboo at a temperature of 100° C. for two to five (2-5) hours to perform a softening treatment; c) subjecting the second crude bamboo after the softening treatment to a mechanical grinding treatment, and collecting bamboo powder having a particle size of twenty to three hundred (20-300) meshes; and d) activating the bamboo powder by adding the bamboo oil in a % weight amount of two to five percent (2-5%), and stirring at fifteen to twenty-five degrees Celcius (15-25° C.) for thirty (30) minutes to obtain a bamboo fiber; (3) mixing the bamboo oil, a water-proofing agent and sodium chloride, and adding water in an amount of two to five (2-5) times the weight of the mixture of the bamboo oil, a water-proofing agent and sodium chloride, stirring at a temperature of fifteen to twenty degrees Celcius (15-20° C.) for a time of five to ten (5-10) minutes; (4) adding the bamboo fiber obtained in step (2), a natural resin powder and an edible starch, stirring at a temperature of eighteen to twenty degrees Celcius (18-20° C.) for a time of two to five (2-5) minutes; and (5) adding a titanium dioxide and stirring uniformly to obtain the bamboo fiber material.
