ZENYF - ZEN Begins Commercial Collaborations
Guelph, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 30, 2020) - ZEN Graphene Solutions Ltd. (TSXV: ZEN) ("ZEN", or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced collaborations with research teams at a number of personal protective equipment (PPE) manufacturers to incorporate ZEN's virucidal graphene ink into commercial products, including masks, gloves, gowns and other clothing following Zen's promising results for an antiviral, graphene-based ink formulation from The University of Western Ontario's ImPaKT Facility, biosafety Level 3 lab.
The company continues to optimize its proprietary formulation for dosage and delivery mechanism for highest antiviral impact. The next phase of testing is currently underway at the ImPaKT Facility and includes a preferred mask fabric, from one of our collaborators, coated in ZEN's virucidal ink exposed to and tested against the COVID-19 virus.
Dr. Francis Dubé CEO commented, "Based on results so far and our discussions with the team at Western, we are quickly moving to integrate our material into commercial products with partners who wish to increase the level of COVID-19 protection their products currently offer."
ZEN continues to be interested in collaborating with any PPE manufacturer that is looking to incorporate an antiviral compound into their products with the goal of bringing them to market and help the fight against COVID-19.
