Biocraft Laboratories, a leading developer of spider silk-based fibers, has announced that it has just finished the production of its first roll of pure Dragon Silk fabric, marking the first time that the company’s proprietary recombinant spider silk fibers were used to create a 100% pure woven silk fabric.
Mr Jon Rice, COO said, “Dragon Silk, which started as a simple idea in the lab for a better performing silk, is now on the verge of demonstrating its capability to provide lifesaving performance blended with high flexibility and user comfort.
”
The company is now preparing to assemble the Dragon Silk material into finalised ballistic shoot packs, per the US Army specifications. This material is destined for ballistic performance testing, under the company’s contract with the US Army, to evaluate its potential for protective apparel applications.
