Colmar and Eurojersey launch new Graphene Plus textile
collections
Directa Plus' graphene provides fabrics with thermal regulation
and bacteriostatic effect for enhanced comfort and sporting
performance
Directa Plus plc (AIM: DCTA), a producer and supplier of
graphene-based products for use in consumer and industrial markets,
is pleased to announce the launch of two new textile collections
containing the Company's Graphene Plus (G+) by Colmar, the high-end
sports and activewear company, and Eurojersey S.p.A., a producer of
high quality warp-knit technical fabrics under its Sensitive(R)
Fabrics brand. Both collections were unveiled at ISPO 2018, the
sport and sportswear international trade fair held in Munich.
The launch of the Ski Winter 2018/19 collection marks Colmar's
third winter range with Directa Plus. The new collection has been
expanded to consist of 31 garments incorporating G+, including male
and female ski jackets and, for the first time, graphene-enhanced
ski trousers. It follows the commercial success of two previous ski
collections, with last year's collection including the Technologic
G+ ski jacket that received the Gold award in the 'Ski' category at
ISPO 2017, as well as spring/summer garments.
Eurojersey has launched its first range of G+ enhanced textiles
to be marketed under its leading Sensitive(R) Fabrics brand. The
collection of high quality, warp-knit technical fabrics are
designed for high performance targeting the sportswear, athleisure
and underwear sectors, and was presented at ISPO to key customers
of Eurojersey. Directa Plus and Eurojersey have been collaborating
over the last year to conduct joint R&D to develop the product
samples and a selection of Sensitive(R) Fabrics enhanced by G+ will
be introduced to the fashion industry at the Première Vision Paris
conference and exhibition on 13-15 February.
The Company is receiving increasing interest in G+ from the
textiles industry due to its ability to sustainably produce a
highly-performant fabric that is independently certified as
non-toxic, non-cytotoxic and hypoallergenic for human skin. Thanks
to its unique, patented process, Directa Plus is able to
manufacture its graphene-based products in a sufficient quantity,
at a consistent quality and at a commercial price point to satisfy
its customers' requirements. The inclusion of G+ in textiles
provides a technologically-advanced fabric with unique thermal
features: allowing a homogeneous distribution of the heat produced
by the human body in cold weather and a heat dispersion effect in
hot weather. G+ also provides the fabric with a bacteriostatic
effect that enhances hygiene and anti-odor features, which is
particularly relevant for sportswear and garments that are in
contact with the body. The result is enhanced comfort for the
wearer.
Giulio Cesareo, Chief Executive Officer of Directa Plus, said:
"Colmar and Eurojersey are two partners with which we have
developed deep, strong relationships, based on our shared passion
for innovation and sustainability. It is therefore extremely
pleasing to see both companies launch new collections incorporating
Graphene Plus. The considerable interest we received at ISPO for
our graphene-based products is testament to the high-performance
qualities that they bring to garments, which are enjoyed by
professionals and sports enthusiasts alike. We look forward to
expanding our existing relationships and establishing new
partnerships with global companies as we continue to enhance our
position in the textiles market."
