Since it was first isolated in 2004 by two researchers, Professors Geim & Novoselov, at the University of Manchester, England, graphene, the world’s first two-dimensional material, has been capturing the attention of scientists, researchers and material developers from nearly every industry around the world.
Soon after news of graphene was first published in the journal Science in 2004, students from around the world were sent to the University of Manchester to learn how to make the material and explore its incredible lightness, strength, flexibility, transparency and unusual electronic properties.
From its earliest imagined applications as a membrane, electronic component or biomedical ingredient material, more than a decade of intense R&D in England and throughout the world has finally begun to yield some amazing results.
Graphene-Polymer Thread
After more than eight years of research and development, QS Safety in Shanghai announced that it had produced a graphene fiber that, when combined with another polymer material, could also add antibacterial, ultraviolet-proof, anti-static and heat-preservation and insulating properties to the textile.
QS the worldwide leader in the design, development and manufacturing of premium hand and arm protection products introduced its Kyorene® glove as the first and only glove made with graphene.
The Kyorene Glove Made with Graphene
In addition to its mechanical strength, overall comfort, cut and abrasion resistance, some of the more remarkable characteristics of the graphene-based Kyorene glove include its superior UV-A and UV-B protection, far infrared wavelength absorption which regulates body temperature and inherent deodorant, antibacterial properties.
Beyond performance, what makes the Kyorene product line so revolutionary is that due to its early adoption and continued investment in the production of graphene fiber, seamless knitting machines and the advent of flat dipping production technologies, Armor Guys have created a unique manufacturing process. Such a process produces extremely high-quality, high-value products to market at an affordable price.
The pinnacle of performance and perfection, QSs’ graphene-based gloves are lightweight, comfortable, soft, flexible, and extremely strong.
QS Safety: Gloves for Manufacturing
Workers in virtually any type of manufacturing environment – from aerospace and automotive to glass work and metal fabrication – could benefit from the unmatched protection provided by a graphene equipped glove. Other common applications include construction, packaging, logistics and plastic injection molding.
