World's First Monster Silk(TM) Textile Created by Warwick Mills and Kraig Biocraft Laboratories Collaborative Effort
June 18 2014 - 6:05AM
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc. (OTCQB:KBLB) ("Kraig"), the
leading developer of advanced spider silk based fibers, announced
today Warwick Mills ("Warwick"), a leader in the engineering and
development of advanced technical textiles and protective
materials, created the world's first textile utilizing Kraig's
genetically engineered spider silk, Monster Silk™.
The first Monster Silk™ textiles are knitted gloves and the
first photos are available at the following
link: http://www.kraiglabs.com/spider-silk-textiles/. They
are considered to be the first of many textiles that are to be
created as part of the Company's joint development agreement with
Warwick.
"We have been working with various types of Monster Silk™,"
stated Charles Howland, President of Warwick. "We find that all of
these fibers are compatible with existing yarn processing and
textile formation methods. As is expected, fiber consistency is not
yet at fill production levels. However, for the current stage
of maturity, these silk materials already have good levels of
quality and consistency. We have been making jersey knit
samples and will start weaving shortly. These small scale
trials are key to helping identify, for Kraig Labs, areas for
development for upcoming fiber production trials. We are reviewing
textile properties of the samples with Kraig staff and exploring
the most attractive applications for this fiber. Overall the
trails are well underway and we are making good progress toward
commercialization."
"One of the biggest issues facing our Company was creating our
first textile and the open question of whether genetically
engineered spider silk could be successfully processed using
existing textile formation methods," said Company founder and CEO,
Kim K. Thompson. "With this successful test, and the creation
of the first Monster Silk™ knits, we have established that our
genetically engineered spider silk works well with existing
manufacturing methods. The creation of these knits is a huge
milestone in our progress toward making genetically engineered
spider silk available for industrial and consumer applications. The
fact that these advanced materials process well on existing
machinery will help speed up the development of advanced spider
silk textiles."
