The other web: Startup says it has produced material as strong as spider silk

Israeli startup Seevix Material Sciences has developed synthetic spider silk fibers that are identical in characteristics to natural spider silk. The company has genetically engineered a unique DNA sequence and used a fermentation process to create a material that mimics the natural process of fiber creation. The synthetic silk can be combined with other materials to create stronger, lighter, and thinner materials for various industries, including sports, medical, cosmetics, defense, textiles, and automotive. Seevix has received a grant from the Israel Innovation Authority to set up an industrial manufacturing facility and has also secured investment from ASICS Ventures. The company is seeking additional investors and strategic partners to raise funds for a large-scale silk generating facility and for marketing and sales operations.

Spotlight: Seevix's dragline spidersilk promises elastic, strong and stable fibers

Seevix Material Sciences, an Israel-based startup, has developed an artificial dragline spidersilk with impressive mechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. The company has successfully mimicked the natural self-assembly process of spidersilk, producing high-strength, biocompatible fibers. The synthetic spidersilk, known as SVX, can be used as an additive for functional nano-composites, enhancing their mechanical properties. SVX fibers can withstand high temperatures and harsh chemical surroundings, making them suitable for industrial processes. Seevix Material Sciences is exploring various opportunities to use SVX fibers in high-end, high-performance products.

Startup Says It Is First to Copy Spider's Silk Spinning Process

Seevix Material Sciences Ltd., a spider silk startup in Jerusalem, claims to have replicated the process of creating spider silk. The company has developed a biomimetic approach to make silk proteins spontaneously self-assemble, mimicking the way spiders produce silk. Seevixs synthetic spider silk fibers have the same dimensions and properties as individual spider silk fibers. The startup is experimenting with different applications, including adding the fibers to nylon and rubber to create new composites. The companys first commercial product, SVXgro, is used as a scaffolding for tissue engineering and cell growth in the medical field. Seevix has formed partnerships with several large companies and has raised around $7 million from private investors. The financial terms of the partnership with Kurabo Industries Ltd. are confidential.
