Technology
At Nanolyx, we utilize cutting-edge plant-derived nanoparticle technology to create powerful, eco-friendly antimicrobial solutions. Our nanoparticles are engineered to target harmful pathogens effectively, providing long-lasting protection without contributing to resistance or environmental damage. This innovative approach ensures safer disinfection across industries, from healthcare to agriculture, while promoting sustainability.
Our core technology at Nanolyx centers around plant-derived nanoparticles designed to deliver powerful antimicrobial protection while being environmentally sustainable. Unlike traditional chemical disinfectants, which can cause pollution and contribute to antimicrobial resistance, our nanoparticles are biodegradable and safe for long-term use across various industries.
The nanoparticles are engineered to attack microbial cells in multiple ways, making it difficult for pathogens to develop resistance. This multi-target approach enhances durability and efficacy, ensuring that our solutions remain effective even with repeated use. This technology is adaptable for various applications, including healthcare, agriculture, and water treatment.
In healthcare, our nanoparticles help reduce hospital-acquired infections, providing a safer environment for patients and staff while avoiding the side effects of harsh chemicals. In agriculture, they protect crops and livestock, promoting healthier yields while minimizing the ecological impact of traditional pesticides and antimicrobial treatments.
By harnessing the natural antimicrobial properties of plants combined with cutting-edge nanotechnology, Nanolyx delivers a solution that is both highly effective and sustainable. We are dedicated to advancing antimicrobial science, offering long-term solutions that protect both human health and the environment.
NATURAL RAW MATERIALS
The main precursor for our particles are natural raw materials (e.g., Aloe Vera, citrus fruits) and organic waste products from the food industry.
What are these?
Aloe vera, citric (e.g., oranges, lemon peels), organic food waste, raw milk, tea leaves, and many more.
PARTICLE PRECURSORS
Depending on the properties that we seek with our particles, virtually any metal or metalloid from the periodic table can be turned into efficient antimicrobials
What are these?
From metalloids like selenium, to noble metals like palladium, platinum, or gold, or more common elements like silver or copper. Our process supports a range of elemental precursors to enable diverse formulations.
ENERGY SOURCE
Heat drives our reactions, which usually take anywhere between seconds to minutes to complete, rendering our active compound.
What else do you need?
Water provides the environment for our synthesis reaction. Several downstream processing steps yield our final product.
APPLICATION 1: SURFACE DISINFECTIONS
Our plant-based nanoparticle solutions ensure powerful and eco-friendly disinfection for high-contact surfaces, reducing microbial threats without harmful chemicals.
APPLICATION 2: ANTIMICROBIAL FABRICS
Enhance textiles with long-lasting antimicrobial properties, perfect for healthcare, sportswear, and everyday use, without compromising fabric quality.
APPLICATION 3: CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS' COATINGS
Antimicrobially impregnated coatings for infrastructure materials. Ideal for protecting property from mildew and degradation from humidity, moisture, or climate-related events.
F.A.Q.
What is Nanolyx's technology based on?
Nanolyx uses plant-derived nanoparticle technology to create powerful, eco-friendly antimicrobial solutions. These nanoparticles effectively target and kill harmful microbes without contributing to environmental damage or antimicrobial resistance. Our technology is designed to be safe, biodegradable, and adaptable across industries.
How does your technology prevent antimicrobial resistance?
Our nanoparticles work by attacking microbes through multiple mechanisms, making it harder for pathogens to develop resistance. Unlike traditional disinfectants that often target a single pathway, our multi-target approach reduces the likelihood of resistance, ensuring long-term effectiveness without harmful side effects.
