Fragrance Industry
FORPAC's portfolio includes several extracts that are used in the fragrance industry. We also have developed a line of finished fragrances that use a selection of our extractions which has been spun off as its own unique brand.
One technology. Multiple products.
And even more applications.
FORPAC has developed a platform technology. That means it's not a technology that is limited to just one particular feedstock. Rather, our processing technology can be used on almost any tree species in Canada, so long as there is sufficient biomass. And that's just the beginning. Because in each tree species, there are multiple compounds that are of potential value in a variety of applications. As a result, FORPAC has the potential for an enormous product diversity allowing us to benefit from ever increasing economies of scope.
Our current targeted markets include:
Pesticide Industry
Research conducted by FORPAC and the USDA has shown two of our products to be potent insect repellents. One candidate molecule has shown strong efficiacy against the Formosan subterranean termite (Coptotermes formosanus).
Pharmaceutical Industry
FORPAC has conducted research with the National Cancer Institute and other agencies on the anit-viral, anti-cancer and most significantly anti-microbial properties of several of our products.
