Who we are

We make complex and regulated disinfection products simple, safe and effective. We work with our clients to bring next-generation biocidal products to the market, both in retail and professional markets. We support technically, regulatory and commercially. We enable brands to add valuable antimicrobial claims to their products. This way we help deepen product propositions, power brand innovation, enhance competitive advantage for our clients, improve profit-mix, and often to just simply comply to complex rules and regulations. We offer a range of patent protected and registered formula’s in both surface care and personal care. All products are environmentally responsible and do not contain any harmful chemicals such as quaternary ammonium compounds, phenols, triclosan, biguanides or chlorine. Also the products are free of alcohols and VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) and are all not hazard classified under CLP.

Our Way of Working

Hygienix is a trusted partner with a proven track record in building long lasting and highly profitable partnerships with brand leaders in various industries across the globe. Hygienix owns the registrations, patents, know-how, formulations and test data, which we license out to our partners.

The corporate mission is to become the global alternative for user unsafe and environmentally burdening antimicrobials and build this into numerous applications.

 

 

 

Technologies

We offer products for both surface care (Home Cleaning) and personal care based on our proprietary and patented technologies.
Our technologies are strongly patent protected and combine deep proprietary know-how from our team of scientists, with years of experience in formulating biocidal products, with novel technologies recently discovered by Hygienix’ laboratories. All products are registered or notified and comply to applicable regulations and laws.

Our technologies are based on proprietary platforms where we create optimized combinations of specific organic acids and harmless synergistic ingredients. The platforms enable highly biocidal products that are harmless to environment, human beings and materials. The Hygienix technologies are environmentally responsible, do not induce antimicrobial resistance and are not under scrutiny by regulators, authorities or the public like with quaternaries, biguanides, triclosan or chlorine.

Hygienix offers superior product performance through an incremental ingredient brand equity based on IP that is protected with a series of granted and applied-for patents. We have an ongoing R&D program working with specialist chemical companies, academia and in joint development agreements with global partners.

For Customers

About Hygienix

Customer profiles

Our customers are large, global homecare and personal care companies, as well as professional B2B companies selling cleaning & disinfection products, and paper-related or sanitary products, but also local brands, industry specialists (in veterinary, food, institutional, washroom services, etc.), and retailers with whitelabel brands, that all seek unique and defendable antimicrobial technologies and strong label claims.

In today’s consumer markets, products with antimicrobial claims become increasingly consumer relevant and this antimicrobial category is one of the highest growth categories in personal care and home care. Stricter regulation in food processing and healthcare have this segment grow rapidly.

It becomes more and more difficult for companies to competitively distinguish themselves with ‘standard label claims’ that are often less relevant to the end customer.

With biocide regulations becoming more stringent and many active substances being banned or heavily restricted, the development of new and effective antimicrobial products becomes more and more challenging.

Hygienix offers its client a fast market access with proven technology, registered products and a well-validated set of product claims. The scientific evidence supporting these product claims is both strong and independently generated. The products are patent protected and enable lasting unique and consumer relevant product claims.
