Improved textile printing technology with graphene inks
 
 
Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and industrial markets, is pleased to announce positive advances in its research into printing graphene-based inks onto textiles.
 
Since two years Directa has been working with an International Textile Group to develop new G+ graphene printing technique for the textile market and in  April 2021 for the first time a G+ graphene-based ink, which used a specific grade of graphene developed for the purpose, has been digitally jetted.
 
This is a preliminary result but it proves the feasibility of the technology and is a very important milestone for Directa's product development strategy in the textile vertical.
 
Giulio Cesareo, Chief Executive of Directa Plus, commented: "This is a very positive development for Directa's textile printing technology. With the ability to jet digitally graphene inks the range of textile products we can produce is hugely increased."
 
"In addition to benefitting our product development this increase in versatility will allow us to ensure the maximum environmental sustainability of our textile designs."

About Directa Plus
Our focus is principally on the two sectors in which we have strong commercial advantage through developed and launched products and a technological lead: environmental (based on our Grafysorber® product), textiles (based on our G+ products) and more recently, lithium-sulphur batteries.  In addition, we will continue to pursue opportunities in elastomers and composites (including tyres and asphalt), also using our G+ products.  All our products are hypoallergenic, non-toxic and sustainably produced.
