Directa Plus (AIM: DCTA), a leading producer and supplier of graphene nanoplatelets based products for use in consumer and industrial markets, announces that the Company has been granted its sixth Chinese patent. The grant by the Chinese Patent Office covers the use of the Company's G+® graphene technology for bicycle, motorcycle and passenger car tyres as well as truck and bus radial tyres.
Specifically, the patent covers the formula which unlocks the potential of G+® technology for the tread component and enables manufacturers to balance the conflicting properties of rolling resistance and grip while enhancing both.
China is one of the main manufacturers of elastomeric compounds for the global tyre industry. The country's own tyre market was estimated to be worth some US$28 billion in 2018 by TechSci Research which forecast the market to grow at a compound annual rate of over ten per cent to reach US$52 billion by 2023.
Commenting, Giulio Cesareo, Founder and CEO of Directa Plus, said: "The grant of a Chinese patent for our G+® technology in tyres is a first step towards exploiting China's large and growing market for elastomeric compounds for tyres. Our technology improves performance as well as having a lower carbon footprint than existing technologies as a result of our sustainable and non-toxic production process."
Not sure why not here, again!

In this you tube presentation from yesterday, Directa mention they are collaborating with Massimiliano Papi, when talking about testing their masks for anti viral properties.
He's got quite a few other Graphene publications, here's the Covid one
"The pneumonia outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) represents a global issue. The bidimensional material graphene has captured much attention due to promising antimicrobial applications and has also demonstrated antiviral efficacy. In response to this global outbreak, we summarized the current state of knowledge of graphene and virus interaction as well as possible successful applications to fight COVID-19. Antibody-conjugated graphene sheets can rapidly detect targeted virus proteins and can be useful for large population screening, but also for the development of environmental sensors and filters, given the low cost of graphene materials. The functionalized graphene has demonstrated a good viral capture capacity that, combined with heat or light-mediated inactivation, could be used as a disinfectant. Graphene sensors arrays can be implemented on standard utility textiles and drug efficacy screening. Thanks to its high versatility, we foresee that graphene may have a leading role in the fight against COVID-19."

There's another longer company presentation in Italian today. Would have been nice to also have an English version, but you can press the 3 dots(more) select open transcript and do a right click translate to English in Chrome. Not grate as the transcript is auto generated on sound, but they do mention it can be washed 50 times(works out cheap maddog) and the seperate filters(which are also cheap) last up to 16hrs. Also mentions using UV lamp to extend life even further. Plus also mentions anti viral tests and certification, so instead of the wearer protecting other people people as most other masks do, the anti viral will protect the wearer. So the selfish might opt for this one!

watched the youtube and was interested to see the Markets on the board behind him especially the lithium ion batteries. All in good time i suppose.
the price is a bit heavy it will be interesting to see how many they sell
Thanks its you thats appreciated. had a few shares straight away this morning and will just tuck them away on the mask news alone. Graphene enhanced pothole filler sounds like the jam on top. Should see the amount of times they refill the holes our way.
With the masks though I've been deadset against them due to the unhygenic idea of rebreathing germs but these sound much better.
Figure if I'm happy enough to wear them (and I'm a right conspiracy nut) then they'll do well.
The new air pollution vertical is an obvious next step to take, after they're success with water pollution.
pawnsacrifice,
They're currently testing the masks on it's anti-viral properties, using actual Coivid-19; press comments recently(posted below) suggest first tests as being "very encouraging"
One of their other products may also make journey more comfortable soon

First I've heard of them! Time to do some research on these the masks sound perfect for commuters and very impressed with the anti bacterial and anti heat properties. Have dreaded having to wear a mask in the shops or on transport these don't sound so bad at all.

They were since last Monday ? Late rns ?
Use YouTube, transcript/Browser translate for the English
And a reminder why PSS is the largest shareholder here, with the note of the board "Lithium Ion Batteries"

Made in Como the graphene mask
Directa Plus applies the material to individual protections. By developing an antibacterial, antistatic product capable of dispersing heat.
by Luca Orlando
The experiments in the tissues had already started. And this is one of the possible evolutions. Directa Plus, Lombard producer of graphene, listed on the London stock exchange, has developed a hi-tech mask with particular properties. Antibacterial, antistatic and heat conduction, managing to disperse excess, also facilitating sanitization.
The antiviral property of the material is still being tested, and the first results - explains the company in a note «are very encouraging».
The material, thanks to previous experience in the textile field, has in any case already been certified for safety in contact with the skin: it is hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested.
«This is a project that was born during the emergency - explains the founder of Directa Plus Giulio Cesareo - to put the properties of graphene at the service of community security.
The term Co (the product is called G + Co-Mask) as well as being a tribute to the Como area, our headquarters, in fact, stands for "community", which has a wider meaning for us. The experiments made on air filtration to create our mask represent the first step to specialize in air purification, too, after having acquired solid expertise in using our materials for the decontamination of water ».
To develop the graphene mask, over 180 materials were tested, up to the choice of a highly breathable jersey, on which an intelligent graphene print is applied, capable of distributing heat in a very short time on the fabric surface, just as it happens within a circuit.
For the cotton model, a new technology has been designed, impregnation with graphene: the cotton is treated with water and graphene thus making it penetrate inside the fiber. The result is a "G + antibacterial, breathable cotton with high filtering power.
Looking ahead, the company is working on a collection of graphene clothing and accessories, taking advantage of the antibacterial and protective properties of the material.

Bought another £3,000 0.73p.
Cheers RH. More patience required here.
Hi. It doesn't have to but quiet often the price before a rise has dropped from high's. As Trek and Itsyou know, this share is held tight with little liquidity.
Two main ways to free up shares.
Drop a little bad news ie issue of shares normally or director selling, both get investors worried and those with big pockets and in no rush just buy them up , Trek is good at this.
No news gets ride of traders, shorters and bordom creeps in. These share are also picked off. The spread for near 6 weeks of 76-78 to sell and 84-86 to buy when the trading was often in the middle few pennies made a seller think they got a little extra whilst a buyer got 2p off the top line. Makes trades seem easier to do especially when bored and selling. They want these sellers can edge the price down and let the money guys wait and buy in at discount ie you can now buy a chunk for 75p when it was 85p last week.
Thats what my guess was. Lets see if we get news to pump it back up over 90p+ ?
What's you're thinking behind that RH69 , why would it have to drop to 75 before news?
Well looks like I may well be right with my research. I expect news any day from now that we have hit 75p.
Hi all, I did say my research suggested mid 70's may be on the cards before news ? I could be right so get ready for incoming !
Green, high-tech and anti-hole asphalt arrives in South Tyrol. The experimentation, all made in Italy, begins in Laimburg
Published on - June 10, 2020 - 10:13 am
BOLZANO . You can redo the asphalt of the streets using a "green" and "intelligent" bitumen . To support it is the Italian company in the Iterchimica sector, which in a stretch on the provincial road 62, near Bolzano, will experience for the first time in South Tyrol a product capable of preventing the formation of potholes , cutting maintenance costs, without pollute thanks to an eco-sustainable solution.
In fact, in the Laimburg area, the chemical company intervened in the flooring works using the Gipave product, developed with the collaboration of Directa plus, G.Eco and the University of Milan Bicocca . This solution consists of a polymeric super modifier containing graphene and specially selected plastic , for an all-Italian product capable of resisting atmospheric agents and improving the performance of the asphalt.
The its ecological nature is at the Center of Studies of the University Bicocca , which deals with the analysis environment, while the Italian patent application of the new technology, which occurred in late 2017, has already been successful in Italy and in Europe.
"We often hear about the roads only in the negative because of potholes or traffic - explains the managing director of Iterchimica Federica Giannattasio - but not everyone knows that already today it is possible to create green, high-tech, highly resistant, eco-sustainable and 100% flooring % recyclable, thanks to a made in Italy technology. Five years ago, taking advantage of a call from the Lombardy Region, we started studying and designing a graphene additive in our laboratories and testing its effects on asphalt with impressive results in terms of duration and increase in the useful life of the flooring ".
" To date we have built 7 test fields on the Italian territory and in the United Kingdom and we have already obtained excellent results from the tests carried out on the SP103 Ardeatina (Rome) and on the SP35 Milano-Meda which confirm the effectiveness of Gipave - he continues - the new plant production at the Suisio (BG) site this year has allowed the placing on the market of a product that contributes to achieving the objectives set by the Green and Circular Economy and by the minimum environmental criteria. Gipave is in fact 100% recyclable and allows the recovery of a specific type of plastic that would otherwise be destined for waste-to-energy plants. Moreover,the increase in the duration of the roads contributes to preventing the formation of holes with a consequent decrease in ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere ".
a sell maybe
No expert but I am baffled as to how the SP performs here. Was the 54k trade a sell the other day maybe?
Will have to take your work for it itsyou as I don’t use Instagram.
One minute today I could buy and sell either side of 78p then the next the spread goes right out.
I think a few small sales have caused a drop as folk get bored. Could do with some revenue driving updates on those virticals to kick things off here. If they announce a new mask I hope it come quickly with a contract and orders. Atb
