Kapok is a fluffy, silky yellowish fiber,
similar in feel to milkweed or down. Kap
ok is similar to cotton in that both fibres are found around the plant seeds, rather than extracted from the stem or leaves. Individual fibres are 1.2 to 3.6 (0.47 to 1.41 inches)long, averaging 1.9cm (0.78 inch), Kapok is a moisture-resistant, quick-drying, resilient, and buoyant fibre. Typical analyses indicate that the Kapok fibers comprise 64% cellulose, 13% lignin and 23% pentosan. The hollow core makes kapok very light, 8 times lighter than cotton by volume. Kapok is chiefly cultivated in Asia; the kapok fibre important product of Pakistan.
