[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] ITEC announced on the 20th that cases of adopting graphene yarn from its subsidiary Neoenfra in the outdoor sector are increasing.


They produce clothing using GraphenTex in the hiking wear, sportswear, and golf wear sectors. Outdoor brands applying Neoenfra's graphene material include National Geographic, NEPA, and Eddie Bauer. Graphene yarn is also used in Arena swimwear.


GraphenTex, which uses graphene as a fiber yarn, is known to have antibacterial and ultraviolet protection rates of 99.9%, as well as antistatic functions. Due to its moisture absorption and elasticity, it has recently attracted attention as an outdoor clothing material.


Neoenfra, established in 2017 as an eco-friendly new material company, succeeded in mass-producing graphene spun yarn last year. In addition to outdoor brands, it is negotiating supply with various companies. In April this year, it obtained the internationally certified eco-friendly upcycling certification GRS (Global Recycled Standard).



Neoenfra is expanding the application range of graphene materials. It expects graphene materials to be applied in various industries such as LED masks for beauty, functional masks, vehicle parts, marine buoys, and bedding products.
