Profile / Brief Description :
Silkcotton is also called Java cotton, or Java kapok.

The kapok is deciduous, dropping its foliage after seasonal rainy periods. Flowering occurs when the tree is leafless. Only a few flowers on a given branch will open. The fibers are referred to as silk cotton and are yellowish brown, lightweight, and lustrous.

The seed and fiber, removed from the pods by hand, are stirred in a electric drum; the seeds fall to the bottom, leaving the fibers free. The seeds may be processed to obtain oil for making soap, and the residue is used as fertilizer and cattle feed.

Kapok is a moisture-resistant, quick-drying, resilient, and buoyant fiber. The fibers contain both lignin, a woody plant substance, and cellulose, a carbohydrate. The inelastic fiber, or floss, is too brittle for spinning, but it weighs only one-eighth as much as cotton.

Kapok is used as stuffing for mattress, pillows, as insulation material, us a substitute for absorbent cotton in surgery, and the floss can be used in life preservers and other water-safety equipments.
