Harnessing Nature’s Precision
Delivering the Future of Natural Pest Control
The Challenge
The future of pest control is natural – but getting there isn’t easy.
The world is moving away from synthetic pesticides, and demand for safer, eco-friendly solutions is growing fast. But for manufacturers, turning natural active ingredients into effective, scalable products remains a major challenge.
Developing a new product takes years of research and millions in investment, only to be slowed by strict regulations and complex formulation work. Even after application, natural actives like essential oils and pheromones often degrade quickly, leading to short product lifespans and inconsistent results in the field.
On top of that, 99.9% of active ingredients never reach their target pests, wasting resources, weakening performance, limiting market potential, and above all – polluting the environment.
The result is a growing gap between what the market needs and what manufacturers are able to deliver – leaving promising innovations stuck in development instead of making an impact.
The PlatyForm Solution
Helping Active Ingredients Do More
Fully compatible with essential oils, pheromones, and other volatile compounds already widely used and trusted in pest control.
PlatyForm is a gel-like formulation and a versatile delivery system that supports a broad range of natural active ingredients, enabling existing products to be enhanced or entirely new solutions to be developed – without restarting the R&D process.
From lab to market in a simple, streamlined process:
The development process with PlatyForm is straightforward – mix the chosen ingredient with the gel, pack it in the desired format, and it’s ready for use.
In conventional development, companies often need to design a new delivery system for each formulation, combining multiple materials and repeating the process for every product. With PlatyForm, one universal system is compatible with thousands of active ingredients and applications, dramatically reducing development time, costs, and complexity.
Manufacturer benefits at a glance:
- Accelerate innovation: Cut R&D time and costs by up to 50%, speeding time-to-market.
One platform, many possibilities: Works with thousands of natural active ingredients across multiple pest targets.
Customizable release rates: Incorporated with a controlled release mechanism extending field time from weeks to months, seasons, or up to a year, with efficacy extended by as much as 20X.
Eco-friendly by design: Fully biodegradable and safe, ideal for organic and sustainable markets.
Favorable regulation: Bio-based, safe composition helps simplify approvals and supports organic compliance.
