Latest innovation breakthroughs
The world-first innovation combining self-healing capabilities and chemical-resistant properties. Designed to tackle the dual challenges of safety and sustainability, these gloves leverage cutting-edge self-healing technology to extend service life, reduce waste and address environmental concerns caused by extensive glove use and disposal. At the heart of this innovation lies a unique blend of self-healing epoxidized natural rubber and palm biomass-derived cellulose nanofibers, creating a supramolecular polymer network that spontaneously forms new bonds when old ones break. This breakthrough not only enhances durability but also paves the way for a facile, scalable manufacturing process to produce high-performance gloves. Beyond hand protection, this versatile material can be adapted for a wide range of eco-friendly rubber products, meeting growing market demand for sustainable solutions. This innovation is set to revolutionize the rubber industry, paving the way for a greener future where performance and planet-friendly practices go hand in hand.
Self-healing synthetic gloves made from carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber (XNBR) reinforced with nanocellulosic fibers. Designed for industrial and safety applications, these gloves are manufactured using a scalable dipping method and boast a remarkable 72% self-healing efficiency at 100°C, with the ability to repair damage across three consecutive tear cycles. This innovation not only enhances durability but also reduces manufacturing defects, offering long-term reliability and cost savings. By combining advanced material science with practical production techniques, these gloves provide continuous safety protection for workers in high-temperature or heavy-duty environments. With high commercialization potential, they represent a game-changing solution for rubber industries ranging from manufacturing to healthcare, setting a new standard for safety, sustainability, and performance. The future of protective gear is here — where innovation meets durability and safety is redefined.
Our latest groundbreaking innovation: ultra-thin, sustainable nitrile gloves made from reinforced nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) using an eco-friendly, industrially-adapted dipping process. At just 0.030 mm thick, these gloves combine 84% higher tensile strength and 540% elongation-at-break, meeting top industrial standards. Key features include 100% latex and powder-free safety, nanocellulose green fillers for sustainability, ultra-lightweight durability, and outstanding dexterity, grip, and chemical protection. Designed for precision tasks and demanding environments, these gloves are not only high-performing but also biodegradable and scalable in production. This innovation highlights the potential of biomass celullosic materials to create eco-friendly, high-strength gloves, paving the way for greener advancements in the rubber industry.
Our breakthrough moisturising glove coating is infused with a powerful natural ingredient derived from edible bird’s nest, known for its skin-nourishing benefits. Applied seamlessly during manufacturing, this invisible inner layer locks in moisture while you wear gloves, keeping hands soft and hydrated for prolonged hours. Unlike messy lotions that can interfere with glove performance, our innovative coating continuously nourishes skin with skin-loving edible bird’s nest extract without compromising glove strength or protection. Our laboratory tests show it retains moisture far better than standard gloves, helping prevent irritation and discomfort. These innovative hydrating gloves are ideal for anyone who wears gloves regularly, ranging from homemakers and healthcare workers to food handlers and industrial professionals. This breakthrough solution keeps hands hydrated automatically, providing smarter skin care without interrupting your work routine.
Space Coat is a flexible, non-toxic, and biodegradable protective layer for storage containers. It was specifically designed coating to shield pharmaceuticals, biological samples, and sensitive equipment from cosmic radiation on space missions. Formulated using Malaysia-sourced natural rubber combined with tungsten-based fillers, it provides enhanced radiation shielding protection against primary cosmic radiation (high-energy protons and alpha particles) and secondary cosmic radiation (X-rays and gamma rays). This innovation in composite materials was jointly developed with Sunway Biofunctional Molecules Discovery Centre, Japan’s IDDK Co. Ltd., UniKL MICET, and the Nuclear Malaysia Agency. The composite has been integrated into a medication box and was sent for microgravity testing on SpaceX's Bandwagon-1 mission on the ATMOS spacecraft in April 2025. This milestone represents a revolutionary achievement for Malaysian science and a giant leap for space applications.
