iFabric Corp Update on Status of EPA Submission of PROTX2 Textile Application
- The ongoing study is expected to be the final step in the approval process for public health claims on apparel.
- None.
MARKHAM, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 31, 2023 / iFabric Corp. ("iFabric" or the "Company") (TSX:IFA)(OTCQX:IFABF), today updates on the status of the submission to the USA Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
"Ongoing communications with the United States Environmental Agency have culminated in their request for a final dataset regarding the leaching nature of textiles treated with PROTX2. Whilst we have for years internally conducted leaching testing to apparel and medical industry standards, the EPA have requested a distinct protocol that is acceptable to them," stated Hylton Karon, President and CEO of iFabric.
"The study is being carried out at an independent laboratory under Good Laboratory Practices ("GLP") standards. Our prior testing has always shown that the leaching of our product is well within the acceptable safety norms. Accordingly, I would expect the current test to yield similar results and thus be our final step in the approval process for public health claims on apparel," concluded Hylton Karon.
