Testing nanotechnology to assess for further optimization of manufacturing process at Dunmore

Oakville, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – June 12, 2024) – FendX Technologies Inc. (CSE: FNDX) (OTCQB: FDXTF) (FSE: E8D) (the “Company” or “FendX“), a nanotechnology company developing surface protection coatings is pleased to announce that the Company plans to conduct real-world testing of REPELWRAP film with New Vista Society (“New Vista“) which is a non-profit organization committed to enriching senior’s lives and providing affordable housing and long term care.

FendX is currently engaged with Dunmore International Inc. to conduct pilot manufacturing runs of REPELWRAP film and after successful optimization of the manufacturing process, FendX intends to conduct real-world testing with New Vista, located in Burnaby, BC. New Vista runs the New Vista Care Home, a 236-bed licensed, accredited residential care facility, principally caring for people living with complex health issues and dementia and also operates 690 independent living apartments and townhouses for low-income seniors and low- to moderate-income families. In addition, New Vista provides support to the frail and elderly in the community through adult day programs. FendX and New Vista have signed a letter of intent for testing which will involve applying REPELWRAP film to high touch surfaces at New Vista and assessing the performance of the film over an approximate four-week timeframe to confirm if the film can maintain its repelling performance as shown in McMaster University’s lab.

Dr. Carolyn Myers, CEO of FendX states, “We are pleased to be working with New Vista to test our REPELWRAP film.” Dr. Myers continues, “New Vista’s commitment to seniors’ well-being and affordable housing speaks volumes to their positive impact in the community and we feel privileged to be collaborating with them to test REPELWRAP film. Engaging with various industry testing partners will increase the breadth of our testing so we can assess performance of our film under different conditions and with different industry sectors and uses.”
