Innovative Antimicrobial Performance.
Non-leaching, non-metal antimicrobial products like never before.
Where science transforms everyday objects with inherently cleaner, safer materials.
About Us
At Halcyon, we design the next generation of consumer products that are engineered from the molecular level up. Our mission is simple: to build a world where the things we touch every day stay cleaner, last longer, and work harder for our health.
We are the commercial developers of a patented, intrinsic antimicrobial polymer additive, originally created for high-risk medical applications. Rather than coat a surface, the technology becomes part of the material itself. Its antimicrobial performance is permanent, non-leaching, and activated on contact. Once bacteria meet the surface, its cells die within minutes.
Our Background
Our background is rooted in medical-grade materials science, environmental responsibility, and rigorous testing. We believe that everyday objects deserve the same level of safety and engineering precision as hospital-grade equipment.
We are not a lifestyle brand that retrofits wellness language onto commodity materials. We are a science and engineering company bringing innovation to consumer goods.
Built from Evidence, not Assumptions
Our technology is informed by years of polymer science research and independent lab testing. Every product we create must demonstrate measurable, repeatable antimicrobial performance, not marketing claims. Our technology's molecular weight is three orders of magnitude higher than common antibacterial additives like silver ions or quaternary compounds, so its antimicrobial properties cannot leach, diminish, or wash away over time.
Intrinsic, Not Applied
Because our additive is compounded directly into polymers, it becomes part of the material’s internal structure. It requires no coating, no extra manufacturing steps, and no behavioural change from users; Halcyon products self-sanitize within 5 minutes.
How it Works
See how this novel, patented technology makes a difference.
What makes Halcyon different?
1
True Permanence
Other antimicrobial materials, such as silver nanoparticles, quats, and silanes, either wash off, wear away, or risk leaching into what it is in contact with - food, drinks, water systems, skin. Our products' antimicrobial performance cannot be removed, because it’s not a film, coating, or surface treatment. It is part of the polymer itself.
Its performance remains effective and consistent for the entire lifetime of the product.
2
Non-toxic, Non-leaching, Non-metal
The antimicrobial additive is engineered at a macromolecular scale, making it inherently non-migrating and non-toxic. Unlike metal-based technologies (such as nanosilver) or small-molecule antimicrobials that can leach into food, water, or skin, the antimicrobial performance remains locked within the polymer structure for life.
Because nothing migrates out of the plastic, there is no risk of exposure, accumulation, or unintended dosing of toxic chemicals or metals.

Immediate Antimicrobial Action
Bacteria contacting our treated material are eliminated rapidly without light activation, charging, or specialized maintenance, unlike UV sanitization or other consumer-activated treatments.
This is contact-based, continuous protection.

Medical-Grade Origins
The technology we use in our products was engineered for catheters, stents, and PPE, applications where failure is not an option. It was built to solve problems in infection control, not consumer marketing.
Our consumer products now benefit from the same science.
