Polyester fiber????

From our buddy Webster, kapok:

"a mass of silky fibers that clothe the seeds of the ceiba tree and are used
esp. as a filling for mattresses, life preservers, and sleeping bags, and as
insulation"

Are you talking about polyester floss? It is available at any fabric
or craft store. It is used to stuff plush toys, cushions, etc. It
certainly isn't sterile.

BTW, powdered aluminum requires special (i.e expensive) hazmat
shipping. It is a serious fire and explosion hazard; all powdered
metals are.

Alternative fueled cars aren't banned either. Where you get your
information?

Polyester floss, may be known as Kapok, used in making pillows and quilts.
Usually comes in a pillow sized bag (IIRC)
