Reolite Achieves Historic U.S. EPA Registration, Eyes $2.7 Trillion Markets

In a groundbreaking move, Reolite, a subsidiary of Robin K. International Inc., has become the first company globally to secure official registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for a dual-metal ion antimicrobial powder that combines silver ions (Ag⁺) and zinc ions (Zn²⁺). This milestone, achieved under EPA Registration No. 102257-2, represents the first-ever approval of its kind in the global antimicrobial materials landscape, overcoming the constraints typically associated with single-ion products.

Founded and chaired by Billy Kang, Reolite, headquartered in Los Angeles, is poised to leverage this achievement as it expands into the $660 billion global plastics sector and the staggering $2 trillion apparel industry. Within just three weeks post-announcement, Reolite was identified as a preferred vendor by a major electronics conglomerate and launched joint development initiatives. The antimicrobial technology has undergone rigorous performance testing, demonstrating a remarkable 99.999% efficacy rate against bacteria even after enduring 100 industrial wash cycles.

Reolite's commitment to quality and safety is further reinforced by its successful registration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which allows its materials to be utilized in medical gowns and other hospital textiles. In Korea, the company has been recognized with the "K-Beauty Healthcare Grand Prize," an accolade sponsored by the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Energy, underscoring its innovation in health and beauty applications.

In line with its mission of sustainability, Reolite has pioneered the development of infinitely recyclable antimicrobial fabrics based on CR-PET, strengthening its ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies and enhancing its commitment to circular economy practices. The technology's versatility has even caught the attention of the defense sector. Recently, at the AFFOA Summit in Boston, Reolite was invited as a full member and received commendations from MIT Lincoln Laboratory, a research institute affiliated with the U.S. Department of Defense.

As part of this recognition, Reolite has been officially listed in the DoD's Joint Enterprise Technology Tool (JETT) database, where it is acknowledged not only as a civilian material but also as a strategic resource for defense and public health security. Billy Kang stated, "Reolite is not just a materials company; it's an innovative technology enterprise that connects plastics, apparel, healthcare, and defense. Our solutions now encompass over 2,000 product lines."

This achievement is more than mere product approval; it signifies a transformative moment for the antimicrobial materials sector. Reolite's cutting-edge technology is anticipated to extend its influence across diverse markets, including plastics, apparel, medical, and defense industries on a global scale.
