Peracetic acid based powder for disinfection and stain removal
Vuronyx Technologies presents a solid acetylperoxyborate (APB) powder for effective disinfection and stain removal, offering advantages in storage, transportation, and user-friendliness without harmful residues.
Overview
Vuronyx Technologies introduces a novel solid acetylperoxyborate (APB) powder designed for disinfection and stain removal. This innovative solution offers a stable, non-deliquescent active oxygen compound that generates disinfectant solutions without harmful residues. Unlike traditional PAA powders, the APB powder provides ease of use and reduces logistical challenges, making it accessible for both institutional and individual use without the need for specialized equipment.
Technical specifications
Key features:
- Solid acetylperoxyborate (APB) composition: Offers a stable and effective way to produce peracetic acid (PAA) for disinfection.
- Non-deliquescent properties: Ensures stability during storage and transportation.
- User-friendly: Powder format allows for easy handling and application.
- Environmentally safe: Breaks down without leaving harmful residues.
Technology readiness level
The APB powder is at Technology Readiness Level 3. Vuronyx Technologies plans to conduct a six-month proof of concept to validate its effectiveness against common stains, further advancing its development.
About Vuronyx Technologies
Vuronyx Technologies is an early-stage startup focused on commercialization of novel material science–based technologies and products, including water desalination, carbon fiber composites, advanced coatings, and rapid testing/prototyping. On its website, the company describes investigating a capacitive deionization (CDI) approach for selective, efficient salt removal from brackish water and industrial wastewater. It also describes work on carbon fiber composites for U.S. military and civilian applications, novel advanced-material coatings (including biobased resins, nanomaterials, and functionalized polymers), and toolkits/processes for rapid testing and prototyping (including field detection of narcotics). The company states it leases wet laboratory space in Woburn, Massachusetts, and collaborates with private enterprises and federal agencies, leveraging resources and facilities at institutions in Cambridge and Boston.
Public records and the company’s own updates also describe federal R&D funding and collaborations. The company’s site lists multiple SBIR awards (e.g., for radiation shielding coatings, water disinfection protocols, and manufacturing/scale-up work for MAX powders) and notes technology transfer activities such as selling its water desalination technology. External federal-award listing pages identify Vuronyx Technologies LLC (UEI LG4DM78DP641; headquartered in Woburn, MA) and characterize its business as material-science-based technologies with practical applications and commercial value.
