Eurojersey, an Italian warp-knit technical fabrics manufacturer, has teamed up with fellow Italian company Directa Plus for the first time to produce a collection of apparels made with the graphene as part of its ‘Sensitive’ fabric brand.
Unveiled by Eurojersey at ISPO trade show in Munich recently, the company will have its fabrics laminated with membranes made using Directa’s ‘Graphene Plus’ (G+) nanotechnology. This technology will allow for an even distribution of the heat produced by the human body in cold weather, and a heat dispersion effect in hot weather. The result, Eurojersey says, is an ideal thermal comfort level for every wearer, in any situation, which has not been accomplished with any other material.

Giulio Cesareo, CEO of Directa Plus, said, “We’re delighted to be working with Eurojersey and their Sensitive brand, with whom we share a commitment to quality, innovation and environmental-sustainability, and we are excited to further develop our joint products and look forward to bringing them to the market.”
According to Eurojersey, these apparels are characterized, in addition to the thermal features, by high elasticity and a high grade of breath-ability, waterproofness and windproofness.
Andrea Crespi, General Manager of Eurojersey, commented, “These fabrics are ideal for outfits that pair functionality and aesthetics thanks to the ultrathin layers, the raw-cut edges, and their resistance to pilling and to shrinkage. We believe that these qualities will attract the attention of brands that especially focus on innovation and performance.”
Both companies are now conducting joint R&D to further develop the prototype textiles into product samples that will be marketed to the customers of Directa Plus and Eurojersey.
