Advanced materials, explained for real product development.
Kyograph uses graphene, boron nitride and aerogel across selected fibre, fabric and insulation systems. Each material does a different job and each is applied where it makes sense.
The materials behind the range.
A two-dimensional carbon allotrope with very high in-plane thermal conductivity and a high specific surface area. It is used inside selected fibres to support heat management, antibacterial performance and durability-related functions.
With thermal conductivity of approximately 600 W/m·K, boron nitride is used in selected textile applications to support efficient heat transfer and heat dissipation.
Aerogel fibres have more than 90% porosity, creating numerous static air pockets that help reduce thermal conduction. An ultra-light, highly porous insulation material that traps air and helps reduce heat loss without heavy bulk.
Graphene integrated into the fibre.
The advanced material is incorporated during fibre and yarn production, making it part of the fibre construction.
The functionality is added after the textile is formed, through coating, printing or finishing.
Different constructions suit different products. Performance should be evaluated through the relevant material result.
Graphene-integrated yarn: function after repeated washing
Antibacterial activity was evaluated at yarn level before washing and after 50 wash cycles.
Yarn-level evidence. Fabric results are evaluated separately by construction.
What graphene contributes.
The high thermal conductivity of graphene can support heat distribution through the fibre and fabric system.
Graphene-integrated fibre systems can provide antibacterial activity within the yarn and material construction.
In selected constructions, graphene-integrated nylon is used within high-durability fabrics such as GRAPHTOUGH. The abrasion result belongs to the fabric rather than to graphene alone.
