Eco Bactix

Framtix Holdings AB is an innovative startup specializing in green chemistry and nanotechnology solutions designed to address global microbial threats and harmful germs. The company has developed and patented an advanced antimicrobial coating known as Eco BactiX. This cutting-edge technology is capable of eliminating harmful germs from surfaces in enclosed spaces for up to two years with a single application. Eco BactiX can be applied to a variety of surfaces, including walls, ceilings, doors, and glass. The coating is non-toxic, odorless, color-neutral, and long-lasting.

Sustainable Structure-Based Colorants

Safe and sustainable structural colorants free of toxic pigments and dyes developed by Cypris Materials. The technology behind Cypris’ colorants was inspired by how animals naturally exhibit vibrant colors via the reflection of certain wavelengths of light off biological nanostructures with precise physical spacing. Cypris develops self-assembling brush block copolymers through ruthenium catalysis. Using the same physics as the RGB on our computers, Cypris produces the entire rainbow of colors.

Fluorine-Free Hydrophobic Liquid Repellent

Developed by DetraPel, Inc., a clean-tech advanced materials company specializing in synthesizing and manufacturing PFAs-free protecting coatings. Detrapel’s technology platform introduces a new way of blending and dispersing immiscible particles into water-based systems. These unique products and processes help remove cancerous PFA chemicals with non-toxic, sustainable, PFAs-free alternatives that outperform traditional legacy fluorinated chemistries.

R-Guard®: Efficient Building Envelope

Building envelope with air and water barriers. Insulated walls reduce energy consumption and amplify the effectiveness of heating and cooling systems. R-Guard® halts air and water leakage in structures such as walls, material transitions, and heating seams. This technology does not use phthalates and other harmful ingredients. Buildings with this technology are more resilient and sustainable. This technology can be applied to various materials and adapts to the surface on which it is applied.

Archer RC™: Technology for Coatings with Reduced VOC Content

Fatty acid ester alcohol that acts as a coalescing agent and reactive diluent in alkyd and latex paints. This product is based on sustainable technology and uses renewable triglycerides (unsaturated fatty acid) as feedstock. These renewable triglycerides facilitate film formation and remain as part of the coating by incorporating the VOCs into the paint coating as fatty acid esters. The product is made by the interestification of vegetable oil fatty acid esters and propylene glycol to monoesters of the fatty acids.
