A natural slow-release anti-mold and antibacterial technology
Dr. Fresh, a PolyU-incubated biotech venture, shifts mold prevention from passive absorption to active defense. We’ve adapted laboratory-grade food science into a practical solution for "hygiene dead zones" like sports bags and storage units.
- 5-month active protection via microcapsule slow-release of natural plant extracts.
- Visualized moisture capture with color-changing silica for real-time monitoring.
- Integrated high-porosity coconut shell activated carbon to neutralize sweat smells rather than masking them.
- Food-grade, non-toxic materials ensuring safety for skin and clothing.
This technology has significant potential in cross-border e-commerce and luxury apparel storage. By stopping mold at the source, it prevents asset depreciation for high-value goods and mitigates health risks like respiratory irritation caused by bacterial proliferation in confined spaces.
