MARKHAM, ON / ACCESSWIRE / May 2, 2023 / iFabric Corp. ("iFabric" or the "Company") (TSX:IFA)(OTCQX:IFABF), today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary company, Intelligent Fabric Technologies (North America) Inc. ("IFTNA"), has received a United States Environmental Agency ("EPA") registration for PROTX2® as a "Continually Self-Sanitizing Textile". This registration allows textiles treated with the PROTX2 technology, to make public health claims for use in non-apparel products, which includes, curtains, carpeting and home furnishing fabrics, amongst others.
"This new EPA registration is an extremely positive step forward, as public health claims for non-apparel products will help drive adoption of our textile treatments for those uses. That being said, we remain committed to obtaining comprehensive public health claims across all textile categories and that broader application process remains in process," said Giancarlo Beevis President and CEO of IFTNA. "Under this new registration, qualifying textile products integrating PROTX2, are now able to make a number of meaningful public health claims including:
