Exploring thermal, acoustic, and buoyancy performance across bedding, upholstery, and technical padding applications.
Flocus owns proprietary, internationally patented technology that enables kapok to be spun into yarn and processed into nonwoven materials at industrial scale, powering applications from apparel to insulation and technical textiles.
Flocus owns proprietary technology for preparing kapok fiber for spinning and nonwoven applications, addressing one of kapok’s historical limitations: while the fiber has exceptional natural characteristics, its physical properties have traditionally made conventional textile processing difficult. Our technology has been granted patent protection in multiple major markets.
Flocus technology enables kapok to be spun into blended yarns, combined with fibers such as cotton, organic cotton, lyocell, and modal, depending on the application. Current developments reach up to approximately 45% kapok content in selected yarn constructions, supporting applications in apparel, knitwear, and home textiles.
Flocus co-founded KRAF (Kapok Regenerative Agriculture Foundation), a non-profit organization established in 2021 that supports farmers through regenerative agroforestry training and guarantees them an annual income from kapok pod sales. Funded by donations from Flocus and its customers, KRAF helps ensure that every increase in kapok demand translates into long-term, sustainable income for the farming communities Flocus sources from.KRAF is also responsible for implementing a new and unique safe harvesting method, providing climbers with dedicated training and appropriate safety equipment to ensure their protection while harvesting kapok pods at height.
Kapok’s natural characteristics including thermal insulation, acoustic absorption, buoyancy, and oil absorption make Flocus technology suitable for a wide range of technical applications, from thermal insulation panels to acoustic materials and oil spill remediation.

What It Takes to Get ThereTeaser: The material science behind combining kapok with cotton, lyocell, and modal without compromising yarn performance.
A look at the processing challenge kapok has historically posed to conventional textile manufacturing and how our patented technology solves it.
Flocus owns proprietary, patented technology for processing kapok into spinnable yarn and nonwoven materials, and develops kapok-based textile products for international markets rather than only supplying raw fiber.
Flocus technology currently enables up to approximately 45% kapok in yarn blends and up to approximately 80% kapok in nonwoven constructions, depending on the construction and application.
Yes. Flocus fiber is certified under OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, confirming it has been tested against harmful substances.
No, they are two separate companies, but Flocus owns Randu World Hub. RWH is located in Indonesia, where kapok grows, and is the facility that processes and sorts raw kapok fibre. Flocus also owns separate, patented technology used to prepare kapok fibre for spinning and nonwoven manufacturing.
Applications include apparel, knitwear, home textiles, bedding, upholstery, thermal and acoustic insulation, and technical padding.
