Material
-
01
MetaLIX
Our high-performance metallic fiber is developed to provide exceptional resistance to cuts and slashes. With high tensile strength and corrosion resistance, this fiber is strong against moisture and abrasion, maintaining stable performance even after long term use. The high hardness and abrasion resistance of metallic yarn provide effective protection from sharp objects. When processed into a fiber, it achieves a balance of both strength and flexibility, making it a material that satisfies both safety and comfort.

02
Carbon Fiber
As an organic textile fiber with high heat resistance, carbon fiber can withstand extreme environments of over 1,000 degrees Celsius. Its heat resistance is far superior to aramid fibers, making it suitable for a wide range of industries including metallurgy, petrochemicals, firefighting, machinery, shipbuilding, aviation, and satellite technology. It is also a body friendly material, with 99.9% antibacterial and 99% deodorizing effects. It's safe for direct skin contact and even suitable for innerwear. Its inherent softness and comfort provide both protection and wearability. Unlike fiberglass, which is classified as designated waste, carbon fiber can be recycled and repaired, making it a sustainable, high performance, eco-friendly material

03
HPPE
HPPE (High-Performance Polyethylene), or UHMWPE, is one of the world's strongest fibers - up to 15 times stronger than steel by weight. This material delivers superior cut protection and abrasion resistance while remaining thin, highly flexible, and comfortable. HPPE coating are essential for safety in high-risk industries like steel, glass, automotive, construction, and mechanical work, and are also used in extreme protective gear like ballistic vests.

04
Graphene
Graphene is a revolutionary nanomaterial with a single-atom-thick, honeycomb lattice structure of carbon atoms. It possesses both mechanical strength hundreds of times greater than steel and excellent flexibility. Its superior electrical and thermal conductivity make it useful in various fields, including electronic materials and energy storage devices. Its transparency and lightweight properties make it ideal as a structural reinforcement material that provides high durability with minimal weight. These characteristics make graphene a key focus for the development of next-generation high-performance fibers and composite materials.

05
Aramid
Aramid is a high-performance synthetic fiber with an aromatic polyamide structure. It is lightweight yet has a tensile strength over five times greater than steel. Widely used in stab proof and bulletproof materials, it features excellent resistance to cuts and tears. Its outstanding heat resistance ensures that its performance is not compromised in high-temperature environments. Aramid is also highly chemical resistant, making it a perfect fit for industrial protective gear. By combining flexibility and durability, it ensures user mobility while providing stable protection.

06
Nylon
The term "nylon yarn" refers to a synthetic fiber, and it is classified by its level of luster. The degree of shine is determined by two main methods: the amount of a delustering agent, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2), and the cross-sectional shape of the fiber. By changing the fiber's cross-section to a triangular or Y-shape, the way light refracts can be altered to control its sheen. For instance, Semi-Bright (SBR) yarn has a higher, more brilliant luster than standard round fibers. It is also glossier than Bright (BR) material. Nylon coating are known for their comfortable fit and excellent breathability, which prevents sweating during long hours of work.
-
07
Polyester
Polyester fiber was industrialized by the British company I.C.I (Imperial Chemical Industry) in 1950 and has since been in full-scale production. It is highly durable due to its strong friction resistance and wrinkle resistance. After heat treatment, products can be used without ironing even after washing. With tensile strength second only to nylon, its strength remains unchanged even when wet. Polyester is widely used in various fields, including clothing, furniture covers, blankets, computer mouse pads, waterproof sheets, and industrial ropes and belts.

08
Conductive / Anti-Static Fibers
Conductive and anti-static fibers are textiles that conduct electricity. They can be divided into two types based on their conductivity level: conductive fibers and anti-static fibers. Conductive fibers protect sensitive semiconductor related products from static electricity on the human body, while anti-static fibers release static electricity to prevent it from building up. Our copper-conductive yarn infused coating require the highest static specifications among all conductive yarns. These coating provide a comfortable and safe experience due to their antibacterial and deodorizing effects. Our anti-static coating are woven with U3 carbon and feature a PU coating on the fingertips to prevent contamination and slipping, allowing for delicate tasks. These coating are designed for precision work, offering excellent stretch and breathability, and are also more economical than standard carbon yarn coating.

Melange Yarn
A French term meaning a blend, mélange yarn refers to a thread made by blending different types of fibers or twisting two or more colored threads together.

Dangers of Wearing coating Containing Harmful Substances
-
Skin Contact and Absorption: Prolonged coating use can lead to the absorption and accumulation of harmful substances in the body, which can cause hormonal disruption and increase the risk of cancer.
(According to a 2006 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency)
-
Carcinogens: Dimethylformamide (DMF), a Group 2 carcinogen, has been detected in polyurethane (PU) coated coating.
(According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer)
| Material | Health Hazardous Substance | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| PU(Polyurethane) | DMF(Dimethylformamide) | IARC(International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1999) |
| PVC(Polyvinyl Chloride) | Phthalate | ECHA(European Chemicals Agency) / REACH 규정 |
| Latex | Latex Protein | NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, 1998) |
How Toxins Are Absorbed Through the Skin
The Hidden Risk
Your skin is more vulnerable to toxic substances than you might think. Research shows that toxins can penetrate the epidermis and be directly absorbed through hair follicles or sweat glands.
This causes itching and leads to skin diseases.
Long-Term Effects
The Silent Threat
Once absorbed through the skin and into the capillaries of the dermis, toxic substances can rapidly spread throughout the body via the bloodstream. They can accumulate in and affect major organs and tissues, including the liver, kidneys, brain, heart, lungs, and skin, leading to severe health damage. Research shows that even with just skin contact, toxic substances like dimethylformamide (DMF) can be absorbed into the body and cause fatal health problems, such as liver damage.
