FendX Technologies provides an update on the progress being made to finalize the formulation of its spray nano coating product in development. FendX is a nanotechnology company developing surface protection coatings.
Transmission Reduction on Contamination-prone Surfaces
A master services agreement with nanoComposix was announced on October 26, 2023. The parties agreed that nanoComposix will assess, replicate and scale-up the spray nano-coating formulation to larger batch sizes for testing. FendX's spray nano-coating intellectual property was licensed from McMaster University pursuant to a license agreement dated May 16, 2023.
Both REPELWRAP™ film and the spray nano-coating have been shown to significantly reduce the adhesion of bacteria and viruses. This reduces their transmission on surfaces prone to contamination.
Dr. Carolyn Myers, CEO of FendX, said, "
We are pleased to provide an update that we are successfully moving closer to finalizing our spray nano-coating formulation with the goal of optimizing the scale-up manufacturing process.”
"
The formulation work undertaken and in collaboration with McMaster University, has involved streamlining the steps required to produce the nanoparticle suspension and we are now working with an all-in-one suspension, which is anticipated to be easier to scale and apply, as well as provide optimal durability. Once the formulation is complete, it will be transferred to our development partner, nanoComposix LLC, who will assess the formulation and conduct the scale-up manufacturing work."
