The Company's G+ membrane and printed fabrics were dermatologically tested by Complife, involving 48-hour patch tests on 25 individuals, and certified as 'non-irritating'. This complements previous tests conducted by Complife (then operating as Farcoderm) on all of Directa Plus' graphene-based materials, which were certified as safe for human contact.\n \nGiulio Cesareo, Chief Executive Officer of Directa Plus, said: \"We are pleased to have our G+ membrane and printed fabrics proven to be non-irritating to human skin. This adds to the certification we received last year that our graphene-based materials are non-toxic and non-cytotoxic. With our Graphene Plus textiles, our customers can truly differentiate their products as innovative, performance-enhancing and comfortable to wear. We have always prided ourselves on the safety and environmental credentials of our production processes and graphene-based products, and this new certification further represents that commitment.\"\n \n \nEnquiries\n \n\n\n\n\nDirecta Plus plc\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGiulio Cesareo, CEO\nMarco Ferrari, CFO\n\n\n+39 02 36714458\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLuther Pendragon (Financial PR)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHarry Chathli, Claire Norbury, Alexis Gore\n\n\n+44 20 7618 9100\n\n\n\n\n \n \nAbout Directa Plus \n \nDirecta Plus is one of the largest producers and suppliers of graphene-based products for use in consumer and industrial markets worldwide.
