April 7, 2008—PURE Bioscience has announced a partnership with privately held Rockline Industries, Inc., for North American distribution of PURE’s ready-to-use “Powered by SDC” disinfectant products.
The partnership will also work for the development and North American distribution of wipe products, as well as new disinfectant, sanitizer and preservative products containing PURE’s patented antimicrobial, silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC).
Under the agreement, Rockline Industries will market bottled, ready-to-use “Powered by SDC” disinfectant to retailers under those stores’ private label brands. Rockline Industries will also market the disinfectant under both Rockline Industries’ own private label brand and PURE’s KinderGuard brand.
In addition, PURE has granted Rockline Industries the exclusive right to develop and commercialize wet wipes containing SDC for similar markets. Although specific terms were not disclosed, PURE noted that Rockline Industries must meet performance criteria and milestones to maintain exclusivity and contract rights.
PURE Bioscience’s flagship technology is a patented, aqueous non-toxic antimicrobial called silver dihydrogen citrate (SDC). SDC is an electrolytically generated source of stabilized ionic silver that can serve as the basis for a broad range of products in diverse markets. According to PURE, disinfectants with SDC combine broad antimicrobial action with a previously unattainable safety profile.
