[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Crystal New Materials has achieved the full-scale commercialization of graphene material sales.


China Crystal New Materials Holdings, specializing in synthetic mica production, announced on the 3rd that it has signed a supply contract worth 200,000 yuan (approximately 34.3 million KRW) with its partner Jiangsu Lankongquye Textile Co., Ltd. (Lankongquye) for graphene materials produced by its graphene R&D and production subsidiary, Jiangsu Tanguer Weisi Technology Co., Ltd. (Tanguer Weisi).


The company will begin full-scale production of graphene materials to supply Lankongquye using existing graphene production facilities. Additionally, it plans to continuously expand its production lines in the future.


Tanguer Weisi and Lankongquye recently jointly developed polyester fiber products containing graphene materials, which passed technical verification by the specialized institution SGS. A Crystal New Materials official explained, "These products exhibit excellent antibacterial properties, showing over 99% antibacterial effectiveness against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, and over 75% against Escherichia coli. They also have strengths in preventing discoloration, corrosion, and odors." Polyester fiber products containing graphene can be used as fillings for bedding such as pillows and blankets, fabric and accessories for clothing, towels, and mask production.



Heo Wiyeolun, CEO of Crystal New Materials, stated, "This supply contract is significant as the first signal that the company’s strategically promoted new graphene business sales are becoming full-fledged. We will continue to expand the sales of graphene materials and the lineup of downstream application products to gradually increase the related performance scale."
