AMSilk GmbH

AMSilk GmbH is the world’s first industrial supplier of synthetic silk biopolymers and has its headquarters in Planegg near Munich, Germany. Sustainably produced using a patented biotechnological process, AMSilk high performance biopolymers have the unique functional properties of the natural product they are based on. The organic high-performance material can be used in multiple ways, including in medical or technical products as well as cosmetic ingredients. AMSilk high-performance biopolymers give everyday products unique properties. Among other things, the polymers are biocompatible, breathable and especially robust.
AMSilk high-performance biopolymers are distributed in the form of Silkbeads (microparticles), Silkgel (hydrogel) or Biosteel® (fibers). They are currently used in coatings for medical technology products, in the textile industry and as an ingredient in personal care products.
Biosteel® fiber made by the German biotech company AMSilk is a nature-based high-performance bionic fiber. The Biosteel® products replicate natural silk and do not contain any artificial components. Hence, the Biosteel® fiber is biocompatible, especially well-tolerated by the skin and non-allergenic. Furthermore, similar to wool, the Biosteel® fibers are able to absorb moisture and transport it to the outside, have anti-microbial properties and are especially light and robust.
With regard to sustainability, Biosteel® fiber is the only nature-based and completely biodegradable high-performance fiber with true environmental integrity.
Biosteel® fiber can be used for all functional textile applications. However, its use is not restricted to the textile sector, Biosteel® technology also offers manifold applications across industries for example in automotive and aviation.
