Oxafence Active Protection Technology
Most current pathogen protection technologies only trap pathogens without inactivating them or provide one-time disinfection after infection occurs. Very few protective technologies exist to actively destroy pathogens during product use or wear. Singletto’s Oxafence Active Protection™ technology can enable ongoing pathogen inactivation via aPDI (Antimicrobial Photodynamic Inactivation).
Current Applications
Singletto develops its Oxafence Active Protection technology for application to or impregnation in commonly used materials and fabrics. Materials pre-treated or embedded with Oxafence technology have repeatedly demonstrated ongoing inactivation of SARS-CoV-2, H1N1, and other viruses and bacteria. Singletto continues to develop the Oxafence technology for healthcare, military, industry, and consumer use cases and products.
Spectrum of Benefits
Oxafence Active Protection technology can be developed for fast inactivation and long-lasting protection. Oxafence formulations can be adjusted to meet the technological demands of product manufacturers. Oxafence technology can be formulated for efficacy against a wide range of pathogens and for a wide variety of disposable and reusable materials and fabrics.
Simple & Scalable Ingredients
The Oxafence Active Protection technology relies on low concentrations of commonly used and medically-understood protective dyes, like Methylene Blue and Riboflavin (Vitamin B2). The technology does not rely on expensive earth metals, quaternary ammonium, bleach, or alcohol. Using common manufacturing processes, the Oxafence technology can be simply added in existing systems.
