Solving Kapok's Historical Processing Limitations

Proprietary, Internationally Patented Kapok Technology

Flocus is the sole owner of patented technology that enables kapok fibre to be prepared for spinning and nonwoven manufacturing, with protection granted in multiple major markets.

Why Kapok Needed a Technical Solution

Kapok fibre has exceptional natural characteristics, but its physical properties have historically made conventional textile processing and spinning particularly difficult. Flocus developed proprietary technology specifically to address this limitation, enabling kapok to be processed and blended with other fibres for industrial textile manufacturing.

Our Patent Portfolio

Flocus’s patent portfolio has been pursued across markets worldwide and covers technologies relating to kapok fibre preparation, kapok spinning, kapok yarn blends, nonwoven applications, and textile applications derived from the technology.

From Raw Fibre to Spinnable, Processable Kapok

Our technology prepares kapok fibre so it can be processed and blended with other fibres, including cotton, organic cotton, lyocell, and modal, depending on the application. This preparation is what enables kapok to be spun into yarn or processed into nonwoven materials by our customers — spinners and nonwoven manufacturers who use Flocus’s technology-processed fibre in their own production processes.

Sustainable Composites, Technical Textiles

From 15% to 45% Kapok in Yarn, Up to 80% in Nonwovens

Early commercial developments started at approximately 15% kapok content in yarn blends. Today, in selected constructions, Flocus’s technology enables up to approximately 45% kapok in yarn blends, and up to approximately 80% kapok in nonwoven constructions. The achievable percentage depends on the construction, yarn count, spinning system, companion fibre, and required performance.
