Advancing Clean Chemistry
Food-Grade. Industrial Scale.
Replacing toxic industrial catalysts with food‑grade alternatives — beginning with textile finishing, built on independent verification, industry partnership, and rigorous science.
Eight Frontiers of Clean Chemistry
Textile Finishing
Formaldehyde-free wrinkle resistance and durable press finishing for fabrics.
Barrier Coatings
PFAS-free water and grease resistance for food packaging and paper products.
Adhesives
Formaldehyde-free wood adhesives and bio-based bonding agents.
Flame Retardants
Halogen-free flame retardant treatments for textiles and materials.
Plastic Recycling
Bio-catalytic depolymerization of plastics using food-grade compounds.
Water Treatment
Advanced filtration membranes and water purification chemistry.
Agricultural
Sustainable seed coatings and crop protection without synthetic pesticides.
Biomedical
Non-toxic crosslinkers for medical devices and tissue engineering.

Advance the Science
5 independent verifications advance each track. Lab costs reimbursed.
How We Got Here
- science Scientists discover non-toxic molecules can replace heavy-metal catalysts in organic reactions.
- emoji_events Decades of peer-reviewed research establishes non-toxic catalysis as a viable alternative to heavy-metal industrial chemistry.
- factory Major industries face pressure to eliminate formaldehyde, PFAS, and heavy metals from supply chains.
- bolt CAGE Innovations asks: what if the same food-grade compounds could replace toxic chemicals in everyday industrial processes?
"We didn't invent the science. We asked a different question."
