AboutΒ TyraTech
Β
TyraTech was formed in 2004 to develop and commercialise products for the control of invertebrate pests and pathogens using the Company's proprietary technology.Β TyraTech, which already has products on the market, is positioned for human health, animal health and pesticide market opportunities which total over $23 billion globally. TyraTech's technology provides the Company with a wide variety of product and business opportunities in many markets and geographic regions. The differentiating feature of these products is the potential to have a combined level of potency and safety that other invertebrate control products are unable to offer.Β TyraTech's platform brings many of the principles of drug discovery and development to the fields of insecticides and parasiticides. By targeting specific chemoreceptors that are found in invertebrates but not in humans and animals, TyraTech can produce products that use natural plant derived compounds targeting theseΒ receptors.
TyraTech's plan for the use of its technology is to develop selected proprietary active ingredients which can then be used across a wide variety of market segments, either by development partners or by TyraTech itself. TyraTech already hasΒ products or partnershipsΒ in the areas of professional and horticultural insect control, andΒ forΒ anΒ insect/mosquito repellent. TyraTechΒ also has an innovativeΒ partnership with Kraft to use its natural oils to develop functional foods forΒ helpingΒ controlΒ of parasitic infections and diseases that affect more than 2Β billion people worldwide.
TyraTech also has a separate technology with associated intellectual property that is the basis for the Sustainable Solutions business. This technology has been incorporated into specialised dairy farm equipment for processing cattle manure waste to a usable material forΒ TyraTech to sell as a commercialΒ plant growing medium.
