Alfredo Grassi is one of Italy’s largest workwear suppliers and Directa Plus believes it is the largest order yet, anywhere, for graphene-enhanced textiles.
In Italy alone, there are 250,000 law enforcement, fire and safety and military personnel, whose clothing needs to be renewed every three years, Directa added.
Giulio Cesareo, chief executive said G+ is a truly revolutionary additive product for textiles.
"It is chemical free, providing significant benefits in terms of thermal regulation, heat dissipation and energy harvesting, as well as conferring antistatic, bacteriostatic and flame-retardant properties."
