Zentek provides ZenGUARD business update

Zentek provided an update on its ZenGUARD platform. The Company has made significant strides preparing for the launch of ZenGUARD Enhanced Air Filters for the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning market and pursuing new opportunities for surgical masks. Zentek’s Business Development team led by Ryan Shacklock, Senior Vice President, Strategy and Business Development, has been executing an extensive education program for ZenGUARD Enhanced Air Filters. This includes attending HVAC industry events in both the United States and Canada where technical details and the latest developments of ZenGUARD Enhanced Air Filters are highlighted to potential customers, property managers and filter manufacturers and distributors. The Company continues to pursue securing sales in markets with stable demand for surgical masks. In the Canadian dental market, the Company is attending and exhibiting at national and provincial association events to create awareness with dentists, dental hygienists, orthodontists, and others who work in higher risk settings and regularly use surgical masks for protection. Similarly, the company has showcased ZenGUARD Surgical Masks at retirement community events to create awareness with employees who also work in higher risk environments and regularly use surgical masks. International Business Development Zentek is in discussions in India with our local partners Arka BRENStech Pvt. Ltd. who have been focused on sourcing potential manufacturing and distributing partnerships for our ZenGUARD platform, both in the HVAC and surgical mask markets. The Company has also begun early discussions with potential partners in the United Kingdom and is exploring other attractive international markets with similar regulatory environments. ZenGUARD Enhanced Air Filters are currently being assessed by the Health Canada Pest Management Regulatory Agency for registration under the Pest Control Products Act. Zentek will provide an update as soon as it is available. Zentek is also currently working with consultants to file an application for ZenGUARD Enhanced Air Filters with the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Additionally in April 2024, the Company filed a 510(k) application with the United States Food and Drug Administration for ZenGUARD Surgical Masks. The Company was required to complete additional safety and performance testing for the application to the FDA. The Company has previously announced distribution partnerships for the United States market with Henry Schein and Medwell Solutions pending FDA clearance and will continue to explore other distribution channels.
