[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Junhyung] Eugene Hanil Fibers, a textile manufacturer under Eugene Group, announced on the 14th that it has launched domestically produced colored nonwoven fabric for KF masks.

Eugene Hanil Fibers introduced colored nonwoven fabrics in five different colors. These nonwoven fabrics are domestically produced at Eugene Hanil Fibers' Uiryeong factory located in Gyeongnam. According to the company, this is the first time a domestic native company has launched colored nonwoven fabric for KF masks.

Until now, most KF masks were white or black. Most colored masks were products not certified by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety. In contrast, Eugene Hanil Fibers developed the nonwoven fabric using only pigment materials that meet the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety's standards for health masks.

Meanwhile, the company is accelerating the development of other functional products, such as nonwoven fabrics with antibacterial properties. The company plans to aggressively target the market for nonwoven fabrics for masks with this colored nonwoven fabric launch as a turning point.

A representative from Eugene Hanil Fibers said, "As mask-wearing has become a daily routine due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, masks are also gaining attention as a part of fashion," adding, "We will expand investment in product development to broaden consumers' choices."
