PRODUCTS

Our products exploit the unique characteristics of spider silk, specifically dragline silk from Nephila clavipes (golden orb-web spider) and variants thereof. Such fibers possess unique mechanical properties in terms of strength, resilience and flexibility. Through the use of genetic engineering, we believe that we have produced a variety of unique transgenic silkworm strains that produce recombinant spider silk. Our recombinant spider silk fiber blends the silk proteins found in spider silk with the native silkworm silk proteins. This approach allows for the cost-effective and eco-responsible production of spider silk at commercial production levels.

Monster Silk®

Monster Silk® was the first recombinant spider silk fiber product we developed. Monster Silk incorporates the natural elasticity of spider silk to make a silk fiber which is more flexible that conventional silk fibers and textiles. We have produced sample products using Monster Silk® including knit fabrics, gloves, and shirts in collaboration with textile mills. We expect that Monster Silk® will have market applications across the traditional textile markets where its increased flexibility will provide
increased durability and comfort.

Dragon SilkTM

Dragon SilkTM is the next evolution in recombinant spider silk, combining the elasticity of Monster Silk® with additional high strength elements of native spider silk. Some samples of Dragon SilkTM have demonstrated strength beyond that of native spider silk. This combination of strength and elasticity results in a silk fiber which is soft and flexible, yet tougher than leading synthetic fiber available on the market. Based on inquires we have received from end market leaders, we believe that Dragon SilkTM- will have applications in performance apparel, durable workwear, luxury goods and apparel, and composites.

Other Products

We are continuing to develop new recombinant silks and other protein-based fibers and materials using our genetic engineering capabilities. We recently unveiled our first knock in knock out spider silk material using our silkworm based production platform. These new spider silk fibers offer increased silk purity. Due to the biocompatible and biodegradable properties of silk, we expect that the new materials developed using this higher purity process will create opportunities for products in the medical industry, including sutures, grafts, and implants.
