Imagine a material so strong, a single two dimensional layer is 200 times stronger than steel. That's the power of graphene, the groundbreaking material that forms the foundation of Nanoloom's innovative yarns.
In 2010, two scientists at the University of Manchester won the Nobel Prize for their work on the characterisation of graphene. Since then, it has become ever more widely used in various industries, like aerospace. It is an emerging material that we’ll continue to see a lot more of going forward, because of its huge potential.
Our team of experts, with decades of combined experience in nanotechnology, materials science, and textiles engineering, have harnessed the power of graphene to create revolutionary new yarns. We’re looking to redefine what's possible in textiles, and we're starting with elastane. Elastane a material with significant performance limitations and environmental drawbacks.
Nanoloom’s graphene yarns offer a wealth of benefits:
Durable: Built to last, our material resists wear and tear, extending the life of your clothing.
Moisture-Wicking: the material’s inherent hydrophobicity repels water, but the fibres are engineered to ensure moisture wicking capability
Exceptional Stretch & Recovery: Enjoy freedom of movement without sacrificing shape retention. Shape memory and recovery prevents stretch creep.
Cleaner Choice: Unlike traditional elastane (typically derived from polyurethane), our materials are developed to be non-toxic, biodegradable and recyclable, and we are constantly innovating to improve our environmental footprint.
We haven’t been on our own in making it this far. We’ve had extensive support from Innovate UK, the UK Government’s innovation funding arm. We’ve won some of the most competitive grants in the country, and other major global awards like the H&M Foundation Global Change Award.
We're eager to collaborate with brands and mills who share our vision for a better future. Explore the potential of Nanoloom and see how our innovative materials can elevate your clothing lines while minimising your environmental impact.
