We Sell Kapok Fibre Bales
At the core of our operations, Flocus™ supplies premium quality kapok fibre bales directly to clients. Whether for spinning, nonwovens, or filling applications, our fibre is delivered globally in raw bale form, ready for industrial use and scalable production.

The Flocus™ Innovation
Commercially active since 2016, Flocus™ pioneered the industrial use of kapok with its patented spinning technique. This innovation transforms kapok into a functional and versatile fibre blend, suitable for yarns, fabrics, nonwovens, insulation, and more. Today, Flocus™ offers blends with up to 40 per cent kapok, combining strong environmental credentials with high performance features.

Kapok fibre is not only lightweight and soft, but it also brings unique advantages in insulation, water resistance, and biodegradability. Its naturally hollow structure offers thermal regulation properties unmatched by many synthetic and natural alternatives. The versatility of kapok enables its use across sectors—from fashion to automotive and home textiles.

Key Properties of Flocus™ Kapok Fibres
  • Thermal Regulation: Naturally insulating for warmth or cooling, ideal for performance wear
  • Lightweight and Soft: Approximately five times lighter than cotton, with a silky, comfortable touch
  • Hypoallergenic: Suitable for sensitive skin and wellness products
  • Quick Drying and Water Repellent: Great for outdoor, sportswear, and footwear
  • Biodegradable and Compostable: Fully natural and planet friendly
  • Regenerative and Non-Toxic: Naturally organic, requiring no pesticides, fertilisers, or irrigation
  • Tree Friendly Harvesting: Harvested from wild or planted kapok trees without harming the tree, allowing continuous CO₂ absorption throughout its lifespan

Two Fibre Qualities for Targeted Applications
Flocus™ produces two distinct grades of kapok fibre bales at its facility: Clarus, specifically engineered for spinning and high-performance yarn and fabric applications, and Fina, optimised for stuffing and nonwovens, offering softness, loft, and versatility for insulation, home textiles, and technical uses.

Certified and Ethical
Flocus™ is on course to become the first and only kapok facility in the world with full social compliance certification. It also holds OEKO TEX® certification, confirming that our kapok fibre meets strict human and ecological safety standards. This certification ensures that no harmful substances are used in the production process, guaranteeing safety for both people and the environment. As the only certified kapok fibre in the world, this marks a milestone for the industry.

From Fibre to Forest: Regenerating Ecosystems
Flocus™ is more than a fibre supplier. It is a catalyst for regeneration. In partnership with KRAF, its non-profit foundation, Flocus™ plants kapok trees across Indonesia, donates them to local farmers, and guarantees an annual pod offtake, creating long term income and restoring degraded lands.

These initiatives support biodiversity, reduce erosion, and improve soil fertility, all while ensuring that the materials provided meet the needs of modern manufacturing. By fostering a direct relationship between nature and industry, Flocus™ brings climate conscious innovation to the forefront.
