DYPHOX Asia Sets Up Regional HQ in Singapore

Antimicrobial and eco-friendly products by German Company proven to be 99.99% effective against bacteria and viruses (incl. SARS-CoV-2), with coatings that can last up to 12 months, according to international ISO standards.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach -
1 June 2021 – DYPHOX, a
professional hygiene solutions company based in Germany will be launching their
line of antimicrobial products in Southeast Asia, starting with Singapore. Founded in 2010, the company’s products
have been extensively tested in clinics, emergency rooms and various companies
across Germany with positive results.

On setting up the first Southeast Asia regional
headquarters in Singapore, DYPHOX Chief Executive Officer, Mr Xaver Auer said, “Singapore is known for having a very strongly developed
health care system and with this, an explicit understanding of the role of
hygiene and the benefits of innovative technologies. In the midst of a global
pandemic, the increasing demand for cleaning and antibacterial products is
undeniable. COVID-19 is an illness which we cannot influence. But we are able
to inactivate SARS-CoV-2 because it is the virus that leads to the infection
COVID-19. DYPHOX’s antimicrobial products will be able to provide consumers
with an extra layer of protection.”

The Science Behind DYPHOX

DYPHOX’s innovative technology uses light in the visible spectrum to activate
the available oxygen from the ambient air. The oxygen produced provides the
antimicrobial effect. The scientific term for this oxygen activated by DYPHOX
is called ‘singlet’ oxygen, and it can react easily with the envelope of
microorganisms, thus killing them.

DYPHOX Universal is an
antimicrobial, retrofit coating that continuously disinfects and closes hygiene
gaps to optimally protect patients, employees and customers from
contamination.  This colourless coating
has been extensively tested and has proven its effectiveness in German clinics,
emergency rooms, offices and production facilities in various companies.
DYPHOX’s coatings are eco-friendly, dermatologically tested and safe to use in
food and beverage establishments, which is a major differentiating factor from
other competitor brands. Furthermore, as it can last up to 12 months this coating
has eliminated the need for high frequency cleaning.

Research^[1] has
shown that non-enveloped viruses are more resistant to many disinfectants
compared to enveloped ones. Yet, DYPHOX’s coating is effective in inactivating
non-enveloped viruses such as Adenoviruses with up to 99% reduction.

The DYPHOX
Universal kit consists of a Cleaner, Primer and Antimicrobial Coating,
each packaged in a 1 litre container. These products are
available for purchase from the DYPHOX Asia office located at the German Centre,
as well as through select cleaning companies. The company is currently working
on wipes that would help disinfect surfaces for up to 72 hours, which will
provide consumers with protection wherever they go.

Expansion Plans

DYPHOX has its eyes
set on expanding to countries like China, Japan, Taiwan and the United States
of America. “The expansion timeline
depends on the reception of DYPHOX as a new, innovative technology. It still
needs to attract awareness and penetrate the markets as the first full-blown
antimicrobial surface technology reliably working also on dry surfaces,” said
Mr Tan Tong Liang, Director of DYPHOX
Asia.
