The key to Agienic's success is the ability to functionalize (surface modify) small particles of select copper salts, coupled with an environmentally-friendly production process capable of rapid scale-up. The functionalization permits effective dispersion of the particles in liquids and tailoring of the particles for incorporation in a wide range of matrices --- fabrics, coatings on metallic surfaces, etc.
The efficacy of Agienic's novel materials in killing a wide range of microbes has been tested by an independent laboratory. The microbes against which outstanding killing has been demonstrated include bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, mold and viruses.
