What is graphene?
Graphene is an allotrope of carbon which is a two-dimensional structure in a honeycomb lattice construction that is one-atom thick. When one million layers of graphene are stacked on top of each other they form graphite, a mineral consisting of carbon which is the most abundant material on earth.
What are its properties?
Graphene is 1 million times thinner than a piece of paper, 200 times stronger than steel, harder than diamond, flexible, transparent & conductive and inherently bacteriostatic, thermal regulating and odor neutralizing. Therefore it’s the perfect material to create safe and comfortable maintenance gloves that are suitable for many industries such as automotive, aerospace, warehousing or construction.
Know-how
How do we use graphene in our gloves?
We take raw graphite and separate it down to the appropriate layers to which it becomes graphene. Next, we liquify the graphene turning it in to Graphene Oxide (GO). From there, we covalently bond the Graphene Oxide (GO) to host yarns. As a result of the covalent bonding, the graphene cannot flake, shed, or come off the host yarn. By bonding the graphene to the yarn that makes our gloves, our gloves take on the incredible properties that graphene possesses.
Yarn division
The Kyorene fiber is not only present in our protective gloves, but also being used in diverse products such as sportswear, denim, jackets, work wear, socks and underwear. Kyorene can even be found in diverse applications such as water filtration, mattress ticking, towels, bedding and even toothbrush bristles.
What are the properties of
Kyorene’s gloves?
Kyorene gloves are bacteriostatic, odor neutralizing, thermal regulating and UV protecting.
Kyorene®
Quality, performance and functionality are at the forefront of the Kyorene range of work gloves. Kyorene’s spectrum of properties allow safety professionals to address unmet hazards and make the workplace safer for the men and women in it.
Our gloves retain all the properties of graphene even after repeated use and washing, because these properties are inherent to the glove, not applied to it.
Bacteriostatic
Kyorene® graphene gloves are bacteriostatic. They regulate bacteria and inhibit the reproduction and growth of new bacteria.
Thermal regulation
Kyorene® graphene gloves absorb radiation, allowing heat to dissipate from the hands.
Odor neutralizing
Kyorene® graphene gloves balance the acidity of body sweat, thus neutralizing odor associated with sweat.
UV Protection
Kyorene® Graphene gloves
effectively protect hands and arms
against UV-A and UV-B rays
Kyorene® Pro
Kyorene Pro retains the amazing properties that makes the Kyorene range great, but raises the bar even further by adding more unique properties. The Kyorene Pro range offers ergonomically designed gloves that are even more durable without the use of stainless steel or fiberglass.
