Biosenta builds on partnership with AMPAK to test and commercialize Tri-Filler™

Further to the announcement of the partnership on September 24th, 2020, AMPAK Inc. has signed a new agreement with Biosenta and the University of Calgary that will go through to May 2025. The agreement includes funding research intended to develop and prove Tri-Filler™ for use in plastics. AMPAK Inc. will also be concurrently developing processes for use of Tri-Filler™ in its own production facilities.

“The new agreement is in response to the successful results of the Tri-Filler™ research conducted by the University of Calgary” said Am Gill, President and CEO of Biosenta. “This would make AMPAK Inc. the first company to have antimicrobial components in the production of plastic materials”.

AMPAK Inc. is proud to have been the first Industry research partner to commit to this project. “We are excited to be on the forefront of research in the development of our products with Tri-Filler™. This will be a game changer in the production of plastic materials and human health” said Salvatore Nicastro, President of AMPAK Inc.

Biosenta continues discussions with additional industry partners in cement and paint, to leverage this innovation and test Tri-Filler™ in their production processes in addition to AMPAK Inc.

Biosenta's flagship product, Tri-Filler™, symbolizes its commitment to transforming the material world. The “Tri” in Tri-Filler™ represents three key characteristics:

+ Antimicrobial Power: Tri-Filler™ delivers impressive antimicrobial protection, preventing the regrowth of bacteria, fungi, mold, and viruses. It provides a critical defence against the escalating Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) global health crisis.

+ Material Enhancement: Ingeniously engineered by encapsulating calcium hydroxide with calcium carbonate, Tri-Filler™ is a food-grade, bio-compatible solution. It not only imparts antimicrobial properties but also enhances the strength, fire retardancy, and performance of various materials including plastics, paints, coatings, textiles, drywall and concrete. It fortifies these materials against forces and stresses that could cause damage or failure. Our accelerated aging tests show that this solution can maintain efficacy for up to an impressive 99 years.

+ Eco-Efficiency: Tri-Filler™ represents a significant stride towards a greener future. By incorporating CO2 in the encapsulation process, Tri-Filler™ aids in reducing CO2 emissions, helping businesses in achieving their sustainability goals.
