Excerpt from May 8th, 2020 Press Release:
Tygrus LLC announced today that tests conducted by a Center for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) authorized Bio Safety Level 3 laboratory on its new ingredient, Tydracide, showed that the
formulation eliminated the SARS-CoV-2 virus in 1 minute at greater than 5-Log (99.999%) reduction.
The tests were conducted on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the actual virus that causes COVID-19 and not
a surrogate virus.
Additional preliminary testing has shown efficacy on other enveloped/non-enveloped viruses and
bacteria, as well as expressing no acute toxicity. The formulation tested on the SARS-CoV-2 virus is
classified as non-corrosive for 316L stainless steel samples and is ranked "Excellent" in accordance
with the Corrosion Resistance tables. Tygrus believes that Tydracide may enable the development
of a new class of acidic antimicrobial products for hard surface disinfection and other applications.

"Tydracide demonstrates remarkable antiviral and antibacterial activity, exemplified by its ability
to completely inactivate SARS-CoV-2 in one minute using the industry standard viral suspension
test," stated Joseph DeVito, PhD, Tygrus' microbiology consultant. "A second round of testing
is underway using hard surface disinfecting protocols with results expected soon."View entire presentation
