Yuhan-Kimberly Cleanguard Launches 'Cool and Dry Protective Clothing'... Reduces Heat Stress

Fabric under international patent application review is key
Tested like space suits from development stage

Yuhan-Kimberly Cleanguard announced on the 4th the launch of the 'Cool and Dry Protective Clothing' that reduces the wearer’s heat stress.

The 'Cleanguard A20 Cool and Dry Protective Clothing' features a fabric developed by Yuhan-Kimberly, currently under international patent application review. It is capable of absorbing moisture and sweat. Yuhan-Kimberly Cleanguard stated, “The sweat-absorbing surface inside the special fabric quickly absorbs sweat and disperses it widely with moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance. The absorbed sweat is rapidly expelled to the outer layer, minimizing the worker’s heat stress, allowing for more comfortable wear even during high-temperature or long-duration work.” They added, “In fact, the new product can absorb up to 0.5ℓ of sweat (for the extra-large size) and its drying speed is excellent, comparable to that of regular cotton clothing.”

The new product also fulfills the protective functions of protective clothing. It has completed certification for Type 5 chemical protective clothing from the Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, providing blocking performance against dust and aerosols. To ensure additional safety features, it has also passed anti-static performance tests. From the development stage, it underwent user testing equivalent to that used for space suits.

A Yuhan-Kimberly Cleanguard representative said, “As the use of protective gear becomes more widespread from industrial sites to everyday life, we will continue to innovate products reflecting the needs of workers.”
