Abstract: A cotton fiber particulate and method of manufacture including, generally, obtaining cotton fibers; mixing the cotton fibers with a solvent such as water to obtain a fiber furnish; milling the fiber furnish; and drying the fiber furnish to recover the cotton fiber particulate. Other steps include modifying the pH of the fiber furnish with a material such as calcium carbonate in an effort to make the fibers brittle, and filtering the fiber furnish to recover the cotton particulate. The fibers are milled to between 5-25 microns in length with a mean length of less than 50 microns with a mean length of 20 microns preferred.
