Matregenix Collaborates with U.S. Army’s DEVCOM Chemical Biological Center Under CRADA Program to Develop PFAS-Free Filtration Media for Enhanced CBRN Protection

[Mission Viejo, 01/20/25]Matregenix, Inc., a leading innovator in nanofiber technologies, is proud to announce its participation in the Chemical Biological Defense Program under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center (DEVCOM CBC). This collaboration focuses on the development of PFAS-free filtration and barrier media designed to enhance protective gear and filtration systems for collective protection applications.

The CRADA initiative will enable Matregenix to apply its cutting-edge nanofiber technology to create high-performance PFAS-free materials that offer superior protection against harmful contamination. This collaboration marks an exciting advancement in the field of personal protective equipment (PPE) and filtration solutions, as Matregenix works to address the growing need for safer, more sustainable alternatives to existing PFAS-based products.

Key Areas of Focus:

  • Development of PFAS-free nanofiber barrier media for CBRN protective suits, PPE, and filtration applications.
  • A sustainable, eco-friendly solution to reduce the environmental impact of PFAS-based chemicals in protective gear.

Matregenix’s involvement in the CRADAs program underscores its commitment to advancing military defense technologies and providing innovative solutions that enhance the safety and readiness of military personnel. This partnership with DEVCOM CBC will help further validate and optimize Matregenix’s nanofiber filter and  membranes for military and first responder applications, ultimately supporting CBRN defense initiatives and collective protection systems.

“We are thrilled to be working with the DEVCOM CBC team to help develop next-generation, PFAS-free protective materials,” said Kevin Guo, Chief Operating Officer at Matregenix. “This collaboration aligns with our mission to drive nanofiber innovation in sustainable materials and protection gears. By leveraging our nanofiber technology, we hope to provide better protection for military personnel, emergency responders, and communities facing hazardous environments.”

Matregenix is committed to developing safe, effective, and eco-friendly solutions to meet the evolving needs of the defense sector.

 Through this partnership with DEVCOM CBC, Matregenix is positioning itself at the forefront of the CBRN protection and sustainable filtration industries.
