Overview
Product Details
Kapok fibres contain both lignin, a woody plant substance, and cellulose, a carbohydrate. The inelastic fibre, or floss, is too brittle for spinning, but it weighs only one-eighth as much as cotton. The floss has been used in life preservers and other water-safety equipment, supporting as much as 30 times its own weight in water.
Application:
kapok as a filling for mattresses, pillows, life preservers, and sleeping bags
