Activated Silk replaces many of the hidden, harmful chemicals that are used to make everything from clothes to bed linens to furniture upholstery to personal care products. These are chemicals such as textile finishers, plasticizers (think BPA and phthalates), microplastics, stabilizers, and preservatives. The problem with many of these chemicals is that they can be harmful to human and environmental health. We partner with companies to swap out these chemicals with Activated Silk™ to make high-performance products that are healthier for people and the planet. We think of Activated Silk™ technology as a “platform” because from one natural silk protein we can create hundreds of unique chemistries to impart different performance attributes whether in clothing, personal care or medical products. We hold several patents covering a wide variety of silk protein molecular compositions.
