Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of graphene
nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and industrial markets,
announces that the Company has been granted an Italian patent for its Planar
Thermal Circuit® invention.  The patent, covers the use of the G+® graphene
circuit applied onto fabrics of any type and which is able to absorb body heat
and move it from the hottest to the coldest point of the circuit, providing a
significantly increased  sense of comfort to the wearer or user.

 

The patent covers the main features of the circuit which make it effective:
planar interconnection, typical width dimension and coverage.  Following the
grant by the Italian Patent Office, a European Union patent application has
already been filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

 

The Company's Planar Thermal Circuit® is thermally conductive, electrically
conductive and antibacterial.  In common with all Directa Plus's products, it
is produced sustainably using no chemicals and is hypo-allergenic and
non-toxic.

 

Commenting, Giulio Cesareo, Founder and CEO of Directa Plus, said: "The grant
of a patent for our Planar Thermal Circuit® is a key step towards exploiting
the very high potential of this invention.  It can be exploited in every
segment of textile, from apparel, including sportswear, workwear and luxury
wear, to upholstery, interior design and industrial applications."
