Project aims to develop a scalable manufacturing process and represents a key next step toward the commercialization of the surface coating
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – April 15, 2026) – FendX Technologies Inc. (CSE: FNDX) (OTCQB: FDXTF) (FSE: E8D0) (the “Company” or “FendX“), a technology company developing surface-protection solutions to reduce the spread of harmful pathogens, announces the signing of a statement of work (“SOW“) dated April 14, 2026 with Galenvs Sciences Inc. (“Galenvs“), a Canadian contract manufacturing and service organization, to initiate pilot-scale manufacturing of FendX’s liquid surface coating.
Dr. Carolyn Myers, CEO of FendX states, “This pilot-scale project is an important step toward the commercialization of our new surface coating formulation, which has demonstrated promising antimicrobial activity and durability while offering a potentially streamlined pathway to commercial scale-up at a low cost of manufacturing.” Dr. Myers continues, “This advancement in the development of our surface coating reinforces our commitment to innovation in hygiene and safety solutions.”
The SOW will focus on establishing the manufacturing process of FendX’s liquid surface coating, with an emphasis on scalability and quality. The project will include the production of three independent lots that will then be evaluated by FendX to ensure consistency and antimicrobial performance across the lots. This work is intended to assess manufacturability, process repeatability, and lot-to-lot variability under controlled pilot-scale conditions, and to generate material suitable for internal evaluation, quality benchmarking, and downstream third-party testing.
The new liquid surface coating in development has demonstrated strong effectiveness against MRSA and P. aeruginosa, along with encouraging durability for long-lasting protection. This advancement led to the filing of a provisional patent announced on October 21, 2025, with FendX as the assignee.
In addition, the Company announces the termination of the Collaboration Agreement dated January 20, 2026 and the Memorandum of Understanding dated November 17, 2025 both with Aquaox LLC. The initial technical feasibility phase contemplated under the Collaboration Agreement was not feasible and the agreement was terminated, and because this phase was foundational to the broader product development outlined in the MOU, the MOU was also terminated with the Company providing a 30 day termination notice to Aquaox. The Company will continue to focus on advancing its surface protection solutions already in development.
