Green Ingredients
As environmental awareness of toxic chemicals becomes a global priority, industry markets encounter challenges to meet global regulations and performance standards. Aequor’sportfolio of materials are safe, sustainable solutions without sacrificing performance. Our natural and synthetic green solutions can be used as dispersants, wetting agents, surfactants, and fresheners in water treatments, surface cleaners, soaps, laundry detergents, agro-industrial process enhancers, and antibiofilm/antifouling treatments.
Enhancers for Biofuels and Biobased CoProducts
In the push for sustainable biofuels and bioproducts, algae and yeast have the potential to be a game changers. Industries can use them to produce low-carbon fuels and products. But to make algae and yeast-based products affordable, those industries must master the science of growing them. Aequor’ssolutions significantly increase the value and productivity of algae and yeast.
Water Treatments
Removing and preventing inorganic and organic deposits is vital to the effectiveness of water systems. Scale and films cause corrosion, impede system performance and production, increase costs, and shorten the life of infrastructures. Scale and films provide breeding grounds for bacteria and fungi, which can cause health and safety risks. Aequor’swater treatments are designed to prevent and remove deposits from water systems. They can be custom formulated for your specific system and specs.
Cleaners
Removal of soil on a surface is a necessary step needed before a disinfectant can sterilize a surface. Aequor’spre-cleaners and surface cleaners remove dirt, soil, and scale using a special blend of ”green” ingredients to boost cleaning power and remove grease and grime leaving the surface clean. They also provide long-lasting protection against further soil and contamination.
Industrial Biofilm and Fouling
Biofilm is the direct cause of the corrosion, scale, slime, equipment clogging, and contamination — including in food production and processing from farm to fork, as well as marine fouling. Biofilm and fouling cause increased operational costs, downtime, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and an ever-larger toxic load on ecosystems, as “shock” doses of antimicrobials are needed to be effective. Aequor'schemical treatments are formulated with natural, safe products to halt and kill biofilm accumulation. Let us assist in saving up to 10% energy consumption, water resources, and labor.

How Big is the Problem?
Consumer Problem
Bacteria and fungi grow on all surfaces and inside consumer products, including soaps, cleaners, food, water, personal care products, cosmetics, etc. Antimicrobial preservatives and other chemicals are routinely added to these products, but they are so toxic that they are now under regulatory review, and some have already been banned.
As a result, consumers and retailers demand “green chemical” substitutes for harmful chemicals we are exposed to every day.
Solution
Aequor brings non-toxic, eco-friendly, sustainable, and green natural solutions. The dispersants, surfactants, soaps, and cleaning agents make current products work better. The new antimicrobial biocides (in development) effectively prevent biofilm formation and remove existing biofilm in minutes. All chemicals improve the product’s performance and reduce the toxic load on ecosystems in our homes and bodies.
Agro-Industrial Problem
Biofilm is the direct cause of corrosion, scale, slime, equipment clogging, and contamination — including in food production and processing from farm to fork (“microfouling”), as well as the attachment of barnacles, mussels, and algae to marine surfaces (“macrofouling”).
Biofilm and fouling cause increased operational costs, downtime, fuel consumption, CO2 emissions, and an ever-growing toxic load on ecosystems, as “shock” doses of antimicrobials are needed to be effective.
Solution
Aequor’s water pretreatments and treatments are non-toxic, “green,” eco-friendly, and sustainable. Aequor’s algae and yeast treatments increase productivity. Aequor’s cleaning preparations completely remove dirt, soil, and scale from all substrates.
Let us customized cleaners, water treatments, industrial process enhancers, paints, coatings, and materials for you. Please contact us: at contact@aequorinc.com.
Medical Problems
Bacterial and fungal biofilm spreads in air, water and on contact. It was found on a titanium plate within 30 seconds after sterilization. Once formed on a dry surface, biofilm is 100x harder to remove and 1000x timers harder to kill than free-floating bacteria.
Every bacteria and fungi on the World Health Organization's Priority Pathogen list and the Centers for Disease Control's lists of urgent, pandemic and bioterrorist threats are biofilm-formers. They are all antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) strains – the Superbugs.
Solution
Aequor’s chemicals are non-toxic, “green,” eco-friendly, and sustainable. They remove 99.99% of existing biofilm in under 10 minutes and prevent biofilm formation on surfaces for days.
Aequor’s antimicrobial molecules are potent at low concentrations against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi. They can be used alone as new antibiotics and therapeutics or as “potentiators” so existing antibiotics can work again. Some can be incorporated into coatings and materials for critical clinical surfaces and medical devices.

Healthcare
In medicine, pathogenic biofilms have become recognized as a serious threat. The human immune system, antimicrobials and antibiotics are only designed to kill free-floating bacteria. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) associate biofilm with 90% of all hospital-acquired infections and almost all chronic infections, and many diseases considered “incurable,” such as cystic fibrosis.
Aequor’s antimicrobial molecules (in development) have been validated to kill several drug resistant strains and treat their biofilm. They can be used alone as new antibiotics and therapeutics, or as “potentiators” so that existing antibiotics can work again. Some can be incorporated in coatings and materials for critical clinical surfaces and medical devices.
