Kocher Silk Processing Method

The Kocher method of processing silk products is a unique method of processing silk fibers, developed by German scientists and engineers at the beginning of the 20th century. Its author, the famous scientist and textile researcher Kocher, proposed this method to improve the quality of products made from silk.

The Kocher method is based on the use of special impregnations, which give silk fibers higher strength and wear resistance. This method also gives fabrics a silky, soft texture that makes them more pleasant to the touch. Unlike other processing methods for cotton or wool, kocher processing does not remove natural oils and moisture from the silk fibers, making the fabrics more resistant to harsh environmental conditions such as high humidity or ultraviolet radiation. These qualities make it possible to use silk in the production of many industrial products, such as clothing, bed linen, shoes and other household items. One of the benefits of using the kocher processing method for silk is that it increases the strength of the fiber by up to 30 percent compared to natural fiber. This means that fabrics treated using Kocher methods can be used in more severe environments and are protected from wear and tear for much longer than conventional products. Also, kocher processing does not have a negative impact on the environment, so this method can become more environmentally friendly
