Reolite Introduces the First EPA-Registered Antimicrobial Powder Set to Disrupt Apparel Industry
A Game-Changer for Apparel
In a remarkable achievement for innovation and health safety, Reolite Inc., operating under Robin K. International Inc., has become the first company to receive U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registration for its groundbreaking antimicrobial powder featuring Silver Ion (Ag⁺) and Zinc Ion (Zn²⁺). Announced on July 3, 2025, this monumental step is set to redefine the standards within the global apparel industry.
Breaking New Ground with Dual-Ion Technology
the dual-ion technology uniquely combines the benefits of both silver and zinc, overcoming many limitations associated with traditional antimicrobial agents that rely solely on silver. This blend ensures that Reolite’s product offers broad-spectrum protection against a wide array of bacteria, fungi, and microbes, thus enhancing the durability and efficacy across various materials and over 2,000 product types. This versatile application makes it a valuable addition to garments, health products, and consumer goods alike.
Rapid Growth and Strategic Partnerships
Following its registration, Reolite quickly captured the attention of a top-tier global electronics company, aiming to co-develop next-generation antimicrobial solutions. Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Defense has taken notice, appreciating Reolite's commitment to innovation through donations of training apparel and textile products to both the U.S. Navy's Fleet 311 and U.S. Forces Korea.
To expand its footprint in the U.S. apparel sector, Reolite has forged a partnership with Catwalk to Sidewalk Inc., a seasoned fashion manufacturer with nearly three decades of experience. This collaboration aims to leverage Catwalk’s established relationships with major retailers such as Nordstrom and Macy's, facilitating Reolite's seamless entry into the apparel market.
Credentials and Global Recognition
Reolite’s innovative solutions do not go unnoticed. The antimicrobial powder has not only received U.S. FDA establishment listing for use in medical applications, including hospital textiles, but it is also validated by the Japan SEK Certification. This accolade confirms that the product maintains 99.99% antimicrobial performance in fabrics even after 100 industrial washes. Additionally, Reolite was awarded the Grand Prize in the Healthcare Division at the 2025 K-Beauty Awards, showcasing its commitment to integrating technology and health in fabric manufacturing.
The Future of Antimicrobial Apparel
With its sights set on scaling operations, Reolite is in pursuit of strategic investments to establish large-scale manufacturing facilities within the U.S., as well as planning for a new production plant in Korea. Uniquely backed by the exclusivity of its EPA registration and diverse international certifications, Reolite is positioned to significantly expand into multiple product categories including textiles, plastics, films, coatings, apparel, and a wide array of consumer products.
Commitment to Sustainability and Safety
Reolite embodies a vision of offering remarkable value without escalating costs. The company’s mantra, "More Value, Not More Cost", emphasizes their commitment to providing unmatched performance at competitive price points. This initiative is a testament to their dedication towards safety, sustainability, and scalability in the market.
Conclusion
As Reolite embarks on this transformative journey, it stands at the forefront of antimicrobial innovation, anticipating a significant impact not only on consumer safety but also on the broader global apparel landscape. The future looks promising, with countless opportunities for Reolite to lead in the realm of antimicrobial technology, paving the way for a safer, healthier world.
