24/7 Market News- Kraig Labs Scalable Spider Silk May Unlock the Future of Lightweight Body Armor and Ballistic Protection
DENVER, Oct. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 247marketnews.com, a pioneer in digital media dedicated to the swift distribution of financial market news and information, believes that Kraig Biocraft Laboratories’ (OTCQB: KBLB), the undisputed global leader in the development and commercialization of spider silk, ability to mass-produce spider silk fibers, via genetically engineered silkworms, potentially marks a turning point in the development of next-generation body armor and ballistic textiles.
For decades, researchers have looked to spider silk as nature’s toughest fiber, boasting a toughness-to-weight ratio higher than both Kevlar and steel. However, spider silk’s commercial potential in protective gear remained untapped due to one unsolved problem: spiders are territorial and their silk cannot be farmed like silkworms.
Kraig Labs has a potential Game-changer for Defense and Public Safety
By engineering silkworms to produce authentic spider silk proteins at scale, Kraig Labs has created a sustainable bioindustrial platform for producing super fibers that could redefine personal protection, law enforcement gear, and military armor.
Kraig’s scalable spider silk production platform, may be positioned to finally become the core of the next generation of lightweight, flexible, and high-performance armor. Kraig Labs hopes that the mass production of these super fibers, which is what turns spider silk from a lab novelty into a strategic material, will be the key to developing the next generation lightweight body armor and ballistic protection.
Key theoretical advantages of spider silk over traditional ballistic materials:
- Higher toughness-to-weight ratio than Kevlar, offering comparable protection with far less bulk
- Superior energy dissipation, potentially reducing blunt force trauma
- Lightweight and breathable, enabling more comfortable and mobile gear
- Biodegradable and environmentally sustainable, reducing long-term environmental footprint
Potential future applications include:
- Bullet-resistant vests, helmets, and combat uniforms
- Protective inserts for law enforcement and first responders
- Blast-resistant fabrics and vehicle armor components
- Wearable shields for civilians in high-risk areas
With global defense budgets growing and increased demand for protection that doesn’t sacrifice mobility, spider silk has emerged as a leading candidate to push ballistic protection into a new era and Kraig Labs is now in a position to supply it.
