2 years, 11 months agoFlocusTM is the trademark for kapok fibers.
Flocus TM pioneers sustainable and regenerative textile solutions based on kapok fiber, creates a responsible supply chain for kapok and provides the textile industry with a naturally sustainable alternative which has not been available before.
The company offers a range of kapok textile materials: fibers for stuffing, yarns and fabrics, nonwovens for thermo and sound insulation, waddings, foam replacement, medical, automotive, technical uses and many more.
Kapok is the most sustainable fiber in the market leaving no human footprint behind.
Nature has given Kapok numerous properties like its silky, soft and dry touch of the fiber itself, anti-moth and anti-mite properties as well as insulation properties comparable to down, and other numerous advantages.
The Kapok trees need no irrigation, no pesticides nor fertilizers. They can grow on hills, poor soil and marginal land, providing nutrients, storing water in the soil and enhance biodiversity - resulting in 100% positive impact on the environment.
