timicrobials is $6 billion and some of the solutions historically deployed need to be upgraded to improved science such as BIOSAFE's. Our product is non-leaching, has no volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, or polychlorinated phenols. We provide significant benefits in manufacturability thereby reducing hurdles to adoption, while lowering the ultimate costs in the process."

Cantel's President and CEO, Andrew Krakauer explained, "BIOSAFE is an important component of our strategic plans to expand our liquid chemical germicide business and invest more aggressively in research & development. Given the unique performance, manufacturability, and cost advantages of this additive, Cantel has embarked on a number of internal R&D initiatives to incorporate BIOSAFE into a variety of its other products." Mr. Krakauer continued, "We have invested significant dollars, resources, and time towards this goal and it has been a fantastic cross-divisional effort that demonstrates how we are gaining leverage from the expertise in our different companies."

Within the United States, the sale of facemasks treated with BIOSAFE antimicrobial for medical applications is subject to a 510(k) clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. At this time the Company is awaiting publication of the latest revision of the FDA Guidance Document pertaining to antimicrobial treatments of medical devices prior to the filing of its application. The Company is in the process of submitting an application with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency covering the sale of treated masks in the United States for non-medical applications.
