Received my G+graphene mask today,quite impressed,it is not annoying on the face like all the other masks I’ve been wearing since March,this G+ mask should do me for at least a year if present conditions continue.

VRS also on the move. Is it because of this? Do your own research to see ;-)

I have a G+ shirt for running and it's fantastic. If Nike is going with a different supplier that means Directa Plus wouldn't roll over and do a deal at any cost with no profit in it.Which is fine by me.

[sharescoop] 19/8/2020 19:32

So agressive. Not to worry, please don't miss the surge when VRS starts to rocket. It's coming

What would you know sloppy seconds? Do you not think there is a NIKE deal in play?

[sloppyjoe2] 19/8/2020 17:09

If you believe what SuperG and RTG say you will believe literally anything.

[sharescoop] 19/8/2020 16:53

Both Super and Roger TG confirming what I'd been told and that's a NIKE deal is in play for VRS.

Reasons why the image may be what it displays for the following reasons1 VRS have a longstanding collaboration with MAS for textiles (apparel) development with graphinks and graphene.2 MAS Holdings is known to be a core supplier to NIKE for apparel, it's the second largest supplier to NIKE worldwide (Wikipedia)3 VRS executives passed around a sports t-shirt at an open investor event, there were pictures on twitter. The garment was quickly called back to the front of the room and the label removed but not before some long term investors caught a glimpse of it.4 VRS have just received £2 million of an innovate loan to accelerate the G-Scale and they have declared G-Scale includes L for Leisure (it's in an RNS) which reads as apparel to most seasoned investors. 5 VRS have also confirmed by RNS that the loan is to significantly increase its manufacture of quality assured graphene / intended to facilitate the production of sufficient quantities of graphene by Versarien to enable market supply of commercial quantities of graphene enhanced materials .6 The photo has not been discredited or denied with evidence by any long term holders .To me, if it looks like duck and has all the hallmarks of a duck , it's very likely a duck .Its a pretty compelling case .

Is VRS about to go whoosh?

What they do.TextilesDirecta Plus PLC (LON:DCTA) has signed deals with consumer brands Oakley and Bioracer, which used the company's Graphene Plus (G+) to launch a cycling jersey in early July.Alfredo Grassi, another customer, is one of Italy's largest workwear suppliers while G+ will also be used to treat a range of jeans made by Arvind, one of India's top textile groups. Directa Plus is also part of a €1mln EU-sponsored initiative to develop a digital printing method for textiles using graphene.Transport, oil and gasDirecta is working with Marangoni – one of Italy's leading re-tread companies – to produce better performing tyres for commercial buses and lorries.Cycle tyre maker Vittoria was the first manufacturer to use Directa's products, firstly in a carbon fibre wheel, and then in "intelligent" bicycle tyres.Grafysorber In the oil and gas sector, the firm has joined forces with Italian firm Sartec to develop a commercial-scale industrial system using its graphene-based Grafysorber product for treating oil-contaminated produced water.Directa owns a majority stake in oil services partner, Romanian firm Setcar.How it's doingDeals and partnerships continue to flow through at a healthy pace.The latest was a technical and commercial agreement with Italdesign, part of VW and a global leader in automotive design and engineering.Signed for an initial nine years, teh agreement is to explore, test, and build automotive components that are enhanced by the properties of the company's proprietary graphene technology.Applications could include car interiors, paints, and mechanical components.Meanwhile, Directa has received a patent from the Italian Patent Office for its G+ graphene to improve the performance of rubber-based shoe outsoles.The patent covers both the formula containing G+ and the outsole made with the formula.https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/218240/directa-plus-pioneers-graphene-use-as-sector-evolves-218240.html

Thought that about the air conditioning, doubt its too long before we hear news on that one.
From the same link,

“Most of the other masks are currently not able to inactivate the virus but they are able to just decrease the probability of infection by reducing the droplets that are passing through the mask,” Cesareo told Proactive."

If they can put filters in buildings/cars air conditioning systems which kill virus's they have to be made surely? We're just waiting on the newsflow.

[smackeraim] 13/8/2020 17:53

Join the dots. Italdesign.. cars.. hmm

[smackeraim] 13/8/2020 17:53

Think about it.. Air conditioning. A truly global opportunity.https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/amp/news/926632But it's not all about the masks: the project was triggered by the opportunity to design a new fitting system to drastically reduce bacteria and kill virus, with potential applications in cars and buildings."Everybody hopes that the masks will be utilised for a very short time but this is a solid and continuous business opportunity in the vertical area of air conditioning."

[itsyou] 13/8/2020 17:47

From their shop "The life-cycle cost of a Co-mask™ is under 0,20￠ per day, well below disposable masks."

So the overall cost has come down now they claim they can be washed over 50 times and the internal filters last a week each.

[itsyou] 13/8/2020 14:46

Haha
He didn't quite mention per day, but previously he's talked about ~20p-25p a day for B2C based on their website prices..

Good to hear it kills the Virus, not just filters it!

[bad gateway] 13/8/2020 14:39

Thanks itsyou, I was having trouble with the volume and the accent.

[itsyou] 13/8/2020 14:36

It's 10-15p a day, averaging the cost out.

[bad gateway] 13/8/2020 14:29

Thanks for the interview link.
B2B plans sound quite exciting, pretty sure he said they were targeting UK, EU and US and mask filters could be around the 10p level for volume orders.
Will have to listen again but yes promising interview.

Directa Plus PLC's (LON:DCTA) Giulio Cesareo speaks to Proacxxve London's Andrew Scott after confirmation by scientists in Italy that its graphene-enhanced coronavirus (COVID-19) masks have strong anti-viral properties. The Co-mask, which incorporates the company’s G+ technology, was assessed by a team at the Catholic University of Rome, working with the Gemelli Hospital in the city. He says unlike most other masks on the market, their Co-mask can actively kill COVID-19 by attacking the external membrane of the virus. Cesareo adds that this news has big knock-ons for them in the area of air conditioning for the likes of cars, offices and large buildings.

had hoped for a better respoce from buyers,
