What are the properties of Kyorene’s Graphene Gloves?

The properties of Kyorene’s graphene gloves allow safety professionals to make the workplace safer for people who work in it.

Kyorene’s graphene gloves are bacteriostatic, odor neutralizing, thermal regulating and UV protecting.
Kyorene Pro is an innovative range of graphene gloves that include more unique properties, without the use of stainless steel or fiberglass.

Kyorene graphene gloves retain all the properties of graphene even after repeated use and washing, because these properties are inherent to the glove, not applied to it.

 

1. Bacteriostatic Properties

Kyorene’s graphene fiber is Bacterio-static and Antibacterial. It regulates bacteria and inhibits the reproduction and growth of new bacteria.

Typical anti-bacterial products usually kill all the bacteria instantly, but once the agent is gone the bacteria will grow back and sometimes at an accelerated rate.

The human body is filled with “bad bacteria” and “good bacteria”.  Maintaining a proper balance is an essential part of our overall health.
Kyorene’s graphene fiber regulates the “bad bacteria” while keeping the “good bacteria” that your body needs.

Kyorene’s graphene fiber’s makeup allows it to regulate existing bacteria.
Graphene
kills bacteria through a mechanical movement, unlike any chemical treatment. As bacteria adhere to the graphene composite fiber, graphene’s sharp boundary (a so called nano knife) simply breaks the bacterial membrane, secondarily, due to graphene’s 2D structure, its electron magnetic movement causes stress to the bacteria cell and leads to its death.

Kyorene’s graphene fiber regulates three main “bad bacteria’s”. They are the main causes of serious infection in our bodies.

  • Staphylococcus
  • Escherichia Coli (E- Coli)
  • Candida Albicans

Our Kyorene’s graphene fibers have inherent bacterio-static properties. Kyorene graphene oxide is polymerized inside the fiber. It acts as a primary inhibitor for the growth of new bacteria.
After 50 wash cycles kyorene’s graphene gloves keep the bacterio static properties intact.

2. Odor Neutralizing Property

Bacteria living on our skin breaks down the secretion of sweat into odorous compounds.

Hand odor is the result of three main chemical compounds found in sweat:

  • Methanethiol
  • propanoic acid
  • Isovaleric acid

Kyorene material balances the acidity of body sweat, thus neutralizing odor associated with sweat.

3. Thermal Regulation Property

Most of our bodies’ excess temperature is released by radiation, which occurs when the body produces sweat.

Kyorene’s graphene gloves absorb radiation, allowing heat to dissipate from the hands. In both warm and cool work environments, it leaves your hands more comfortable, drier and at a regulated temperature.

It does this by having both Far-infrared (FIR) and Heat dissipation properties.

4. UV Protection Property

Kyorene’s graphene fiber maintains its full array of properties when subjected to UV light and has shown no negative effect from long term sun exposure.

Graphene effectively protects your hands against uv-A and uv-B rays.

Ultraviolet protection factor (upf) is a spectral transmission analysis which can quantify exactly how much UV radiation permeates materials. The UPF Rating Scale is between 15 and 50:

  • 15-24 is good
  • 25-39 is very good
  • 40 or higher is excellent

One way to perceive this rating is a UPF of 20 (allowing 1/20th of UV through) is equivalent to blocking 95%. A UPF of 40 blocks 97.5% and a UPF of 50 blocks 98%.

Kyorene’s graphene gloves and sleeves reach the highest level of UPF 50+.
