Our Story
We are a material sciences and technology company whose mission is to make drinking water safe for everyone, everywhere. We are commercializing a new class of selective and powerful adsorbents called High-Affinity Cyclodextrin Polymers (HACPs) that are uniquely capable of removing the toxic micropollutants that contaminate much of our drinking water supply and threaten the health of millions every day. These micropollutants include industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides that, even at trace concentrations (parts per billion), have been linked to multiple cancers, endocrine disorders, thyroid disease, and immunotoxicity.
Because they exist at trace concentrations, micropollutants easily pass through the municipal water treatment plants which supply tap water to over 85% of the U.S. population. Many also pass through Point-of-Use water systems that millions have installed in their homes. It is the reason that some micropollutants, such as carcinogenic per- and polyfluoralkyl compounds, are now found in the blood serum of 97% of Americans.
Our invention of porous High-Affinity Cyclodextrin Polymer (HACP) adsorbents represent a breakthrough solution for the safe, rapid, and cost-effective removal of toxic micropollutants from water. Our patented technology can be easily incorporated into most water treatment applications including municipal drinking water and wastewater treatment systems, industrial water treatment facilities, and in consumer Point-of-Use water purification products.
