About
Bio-Fence is an Israeli startup that has developed a patented technology for antimicrobial and antiviral coating of surfaces. The technology is based on a polymer that can be incorporated into plastics, paints, and coatings, allowing them to bind and stabilize chlorine. This process slowly releases biocides, reducing microorganism populations on treated surfaces and providing long-lasting protection against hazardous pathogens like viruses, Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and Campylobacter. The company's initial focus was on food safety in production environments, and later expanded to include protection against viruses like the coronavirus in public areas. Bio-Fence was founded in early 2018 at The Kitchen Hub Food-Tech Incubator. The company's patented product, OxiLast, creates a long-lasting antimicrobial film that significantly reduces multi-drug-resistant microorganisms (MDRO) from surfaces.
