MARKHAM, ON / ACCESS Newswire / July 21, 2026 / iFabric Corp. ("iFabric") (TSX:IFA)(OTCQX:IFABF) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Intelligent Fabric Technologies (North America) Inc. ("IFTNA"), has signed an agreement with GermstopSQ Inc. ("Germstop") to formulate, manufacture, and commercialize new durable, active antimicrobial hard-surface coating technology.
The coating will integrate PROTX2® and is being developed as a first-of-its-kind durable antimicrobial coating for use across a broad range of hard and frequently-touched surfaces. This platform technology is intended to deliver long-lasting antimicrobial performance on treated surfaces. This creates a new category of active surface protection to complement existing cleaning and disinfection protocols in industrial, institutional, and consumer environments.
Under the agreement, Germstop will support the final formulation and manufacturing of the coating technology, while IFTNA will lead branding, commercialization, distribution, sublicensing, and market development. The parties' initial focus is across Canada and the United States, with a pathway to pursue broader global expansion.
This represents an expansion of IFTNA's antimicrobial technology platform beyond textiles and into the hard-surface environments people interact with every day," said Giancarlo Beevis, President & CEO of IFTNA. "From hospitals and long-term care facilities to hotels, classrooms, public transportation, airports, offices, gyms, and retail spaces, we believe the need and opportunity for a durable, active antimicrobial coating is massive."
