Date:10-02-2024

Pyrone Systems Inc., an innovator in novel insecticide chemistry and pest control solutions for agriculture, public health and households,recently announced the successful submission of its Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) biopesticide registration for its pioneering technology, Pyronz™.

The submission marks a major milestone in the company's mission to bring new chemistries to pest control. Originally discovered in plants, Pyronz represents a valuable alternative to conventional products, while promoting environmental health and consumer safety.

"We are thrilled to reach this critical stage in the development of our natural insecticide," said Alex Hutagalung Ph.D., CEO of Pyrone Systems. "Our EPA submission results from years of research and testing, and reflects our commitment to creating effective products that meet the highest regulatory and environmental standards."

Pyronz offers several key advantages:
•    Knockdown: Rapid knockdown of mosquitoes and other disease-spreading insects.
•    Efficacy: Highly effective against crawling and flying insects.
•    Repellency: Repels biting insects as both a contact and a spatial repellent.
•    Resistance: Effective against insects that have developed resistance to commercial insecticides.
•    Safety: A botanical compound demonstrated to be safe in EPA required Tier I testing for mammals, birds, fish and plants.
•    Odorless: Unscented and suitable for use in all areas of commercial and residential applications.

"Pyronz will provide a natural solution to longstanding problems associated with conventional synthetic chemistries," said Dr. Hutagalung. "The EPA's pesticide registration process ensures that products meet strict standards for efficacy and safety, and we have worked closely with scientific and regulatory experts to provide the EPA with comprehensive data on environmental impact, toxicology, and performance."

"During my 30 years of working with botanical insecticides, this regulatory submission has been the fastest and smoothest", said Steve Bessette, Chief Business Officer of Pyrone Systems, "this is a testament to the safety and efficacy of Pyronz as well as the world-class team of testing labs and advisors we have assembled."

Following the EPA's review and approval process, Pyrone Systems anticipates commercial availability in 2026. Products based on Pyronz technology will benefit a wide range of pesticide segments including public health, professional pest control, institutional & industrial, residential, turf & ornamental, animal health and more.
