Our Solutions
Redefining surface protection with a single molecule.
At AvantGuard™, we create innovative solutions that provide long-term protection against viruses, bacteria, and fungi/mold, in a variety of applications. The company's proprietary combinations of specialty molecules and polymers are customized to provide prolonged antimicrobial efficacy to a wide range of surfaces and materials.
Areas of Focus for AvantGuard™
A platform technology that is just as versatile as it is effective.
Avantamine™ for Topical Treatments
Unleash the power of Chlorine, without the issue of corrosion or safety.
Mimicking our bodies own defense against pathogens, topical treatments containing Avantamine are more effective for both bacterial and fungal infections, as well as their biofilms. Our biocompatible, gentler form of chlorine is less toxic, defying the efficacy-safety tradeoff. And, with no resistance generation, using Avantamine topical treatments means we can save antibiotics for when we need them the most.
We are developing treatments for wound care (chronic and acute), fungal infections (ringworm, athlete's foot, etc), and bacterial infections (MRSA, impetigo) among other indications.
Key Highlights
Inspired by nature: Mimics our bodies natural defenses against pathogens
Antimicrobial: Effective against bacteria and fungi
Biofilm disrupter: Eradicates and prevents biofilm formation
Fights antibiotic resistance: Chlorine based treatments have no history of resistance generation
Non-irritating: Gentler on the skin
Avantamine™ for Medical Devices
Medical device materials and coatings that provide long term protection against pathogens and biofilm.
Avantamine plastics and coatings for medical devices not only protect devices from pathogens and biofilms, but they also provide antifouling chemistries to make medical devices easier to clean. And with the ability to hold chlorine on the surface for months, devices can stay protected for longer periods of time. Unlike other materials that only offer “static” protection, Avantamine materials can provide bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal efficacy, with better biocompatibility than “static” solutions.
Key Highlights
Antimicrobial: Holds chlorine on surface to kill pathogens
Broad spectrum: Effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi
Biofilm disrupter: Eradicates and prevents biofilm formation
Anti-fouling: Avoids biofilm and debris buildup
Compatibility: Can be used in a variety of fixed coatings and plastic materials
Long acting: Continues to protect surfaces
Non-irritating: Does not cause skin irritation
Avantamine™ for Disinfection
Not only high-level disinfection, but residual disinfection.
Strong enough to be a High-Level Disinfectant for medical devices, yet gentle enough to disinfect a baby’s changing table, Avantamine disinfectants are a non-corrosive, less irritating form of chlorine that can be used anywhere. Effective wet or dry, Avantamine disinfectants can also provide residual protection against bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, and their biofilms.
Key Highlights
Antimicrobial: Effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold
Non-corrosive: Less likely to harm metals, fabrics, or other surfaces
Versatile: Effective in wet or dry environments
Biofilm disrupter: Eradicates and prevents biofilm formation
Long acting: Continues to protect surfaces, even after drying
Non-irritating: Does not cause skin irritation
Avantamine™ for Surface Protection
One added step before disinfecting can significantly extend surface protection.
Avantamine can be blended into a variety of materials to create products and coatings that create antimicrobial and anti-biofilm surfaces. These Avantamine enabled surfaces can hold chlorine for up to a month, providing biocidal, fungicidal, and virucidal protection. Avantamine enabled surfaces also contain chemistries that are antifouling, making cleaning easier and disrupting biofilm formation. Avantamine is the only approach, except copper-based paint, to make human health claims for antimicrobial surfaces (bacteria, virus, fungi).
Key Highlights
Antimicrobial: Holds chlorine to kill a variety of pathogens
Broad spectrum: Kills bacteria, viruses, and mold
Better Efficacy: Kills pathogens better than silver, copper and other metals
Long acting: One charge of chlorine can protect surfaces for a month
Compatibility: Can be used in a variety of fixed coatings and plastic materials
Long-term: Provides years of protection when incorporated into materials
Anti-fouling: Avoids biofilm and debris buildup
Non-irritating: Does not cause skin irritation to the touch for children and pets
Environmentally friendly: Potential to reduce the use of chlorine to accomplish your germ fighting goals
Effective: The only spray-based product to pass the EPA protocol with a 99.9% pathogen reduction.
Continuous protection for continuous peace of mind.
Typical chlorine disinfectants only work for about a 15 minutes. But, with AvantGuard applied first, a surface can retain the chlorine from standard disinfectants for as long as a month.

With AvantGuard247
Superior Defense Against Pathogens
We created the only spray-based product to pass the EPA protocol with a 99.9% pathogen reduction
In March of 2022, the EPA published data on tests of 20 antimicrobial coating products¹, and none of the spray-based products retained the required potency after being subjected to a simulation of a weeks worth of wear in service.
In contrast, AvantGuard247 is able to withstand a month’s worth of simulated wear, achieving a 99.9% pathogen reduction and is the only spray-on product that has passed the EPA testing for any length of time.

Our Products Under Development
Behold, our own fleet of
pathogen-killing products
utilizing Avantamine™
AvantGuard products for environmental surfaces can turn any surface into an antimicrobial surface by holding chlorine from store-bought disinfectants on surfaces in a safe and effective manner for as long as a month.
