Byotrol plc ("Byotrol" or the "Company")

Know-How Licence and Product Supply Agreement with Tristel plc

Byotrol is pleased to announce a new collaboration ("the Agreement") with fellow infection prevention and control specialists Tristel plc.

The Agreement relates to three specific technologies

1. A concentrated surface disinfectant initially targeted for use in hospitals, dispensed from Tristel's proprietary Cache system of innovative packaging solutions; and

2. A concentrated surface disinfectant with long-lasting (8 hour) anti-microbial efficacy also to be dispensed from Tristel's proprietary Cache system. This product is a concentrate version of ACTIZONE, a Solvay technology developed in conjunction with Byotrol; and

3. A unique surface disinfectant combining Tristel's proprietary sporicidal chemistry, with Byotrol's long-lasting anti-microbial technology, also based on the ACTIZONE technology platform. The combined product will speedily eliminate spores on application, and will then remain active against microbes for an 8-hour period after application. Tristel will incorporate the jointly developed formulation in several packaging formats under the family name "Tristel8". 

The Agreement has a duration of 10 years and will be exclusive in hospitals in the UK and Ireland and non-exclusive elsewhere. Under the terms of the Agreement, Tristel will pay to Byotrol a combination of product supply payments, royalties and fees, based on success but with meaningful minimum guarantee payments to Byotrol each year.

David Traynor, Chief Executive of Byotrol, said:

"We are really pleased to be working with Tristel in this way and are particularly pleased that our chemistries now work in combination, with genuinely unique new product claims at a key time in infection control. This agreement now brings our products to many more customers in healthcare and beyond, and in formats that we could not do on our own"
