Many researchers and many companies have sought to mimic natures spider silk in an effort to utilize the strength and resilient characteristics of this amazing material. Now a small company, Kraig Biocraft Laboratories (KBLB) has utilized world renowned researchers at Notre Dame to accomplish this “Holy Grail” of fiber technology.
Kraig Biocraft’s conference call last Friday (Oct. 8, 2010) confirmed their global exclusive rights to commercialize this product that they have developed with Dr. Fraser and other scientist. In an hour long call, Kim Thompson laid out the current status of KBLB’s development and future direction. Surprising to some on the call, Kim highlighted the fact that they have gone beyond research and have developed a new product which they are ready to take to market now.
The researchers developed a process utilizing silkworms which is nature’s closest mimic of the spiders process of making silk for their webs. However, since spiders are not conducive to commercial levels of silk production, silkworms were genetically modified to produce the spider silk. Since silkworms have been producing silk for 5000 years, production capabilities are readily available. Another benefit of the process is that this ‘invention’ requires no governmental approval process and is a very short lead time to market. Mr. Thompson indicated that he has been approached daily by investors, but his business plan is looking for partner companies to get this novel product to market.
According to Mr. Thompson, this first batch of transgenic silkworms they have created can provide a silk of a very unique character to the multi billion dollar textile market immediately. Researchers are already in the advanced stage of additional transgenic silkworms whose silk characteristics are designed to compete in the industrial textile market related to Kevlar and other fibers. The third stage of development for the researchers is to create other fibers intended to be marketed in the medical field. Those are also currently in the planning stages.
Mr. Thompson stated that his company, KBLB, will be able to provide fibers of highly unique characteristics on demand. Manufacturers will be able to work with KBLB to develop fibers uniquely suited to their purpose.
Well done Kraig Biocraft and good luck to all.
