[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Hyowon] Sangji Kyleum (CEO Choi Kibo) announced that its subsidiary, Ace Biomed, has signed a business cooperation agreement with Korea Jintech to enter the antimicrobial microcurrent mask (commonly known as the mask that lights up) and virus shield business.


With this contract, the two companies will jointly promote the production and business of microcurrent masks and virus shields applying conductive antimicrobial materials. Korea Jintech will cooperate in product manufacturing using virus shield and antimicrobial microcurrent mask technology, while Ace Biomed plans to handle marketing and distribution based on investments in production facilities. In particular, Ace Biomed has obtained permits for space disinfection/hygiene business including mask manufacturing and will actively pursue related businesses.


Korea Jintech is a new material research and development company possessing various mask production technologies such as Korea Filter (KF) and dental masks. The company holds the original technology of ‘Kid-Clean,’ an antimicrobial and antiviral material based on natural substances that ensures human safety. This material has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the company has expanded its technology scope to include disinfection products such as masks and virus shields based on it.


The masks produced by Ace Biomed and Korea Jintech show immediate virus inactivation upon contact and are harmless to humans, having completed safety verification through certification agencies. The company’s virus shield is a spray-type disinfection product using ‘Kid-Clean,’ with antimicrobial and antiviral performance lasting up to 1000 hours and proven excellent effectiveness in eliminating coronaviruses.


A Sangji Kyleum official explained the investment background, stating, “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, global demand for masks has surged, and concerns about bacterial infections from disposable masks have deepened simultaneously. The microcurrent masks from Ace Biomed and Korea Jintech are reusable, environmentally friendly, free of harmful substances to humans, and safe, so they are expected to be highly preferred products.”



Meanwhile, Ace Biomed recently began entering the COVID diagnostic kit business. With the production contract for antimicrobial microcurrent masks and virus shields signed with Korea Jintech, the company is expanding its business portfolio as a global specialized company responding to coronaviruses.
