Silk waste

Active

Description

Silk is produced from the cocoons of silk moths and end-parts of cocoons, short fibres, etc, are combined to form silk waste and are utilized as filling material for e.g. bed quilts and winter clothes.

Silk threads to be used for the production of fabrics go through several processes that remove allergenic proteins. The silk waste, however, is less carefully processed and retains allergens of the original sources. Silk is a well-known occupational allergy in silk-industry workers. Silk waste from wild silk has become an important indoor inhalant allergen due to its use for filling bed quilts and pillows. Copyright Copyright © 2006 Phadia AB. Source: ImmunoCap, ImmunoCap
