• Zeotech ships 500kg bulk sample of manufactured zeolite to Protekta North America
  • Protekta uses manufactured zeolite in product used to prevent milk fever in cows
  • Bulk sample will be used to complete a test run of the zeolite-based product

 

Special Report: Zeotech has shipped a 500kg bulk sample of its manufactured zeolite product to North American animal nutrition producer Protekta Incorporated.

Zeotech (ASX:ZEO), which aims to be Australia’s first producer of manufactured zeolite using its proprietary mineral processing technology, had executed a memorandum of understanding with Protekta in March this year.

This establishes the framework to negotiate, in good faith, the terms of a potential manufactured zeolite offtake agreement.

Protekta has a portfolio of innovative and evidence-based products designed to prevent illness through optimal nutrition, including a leading solution that contains manufactured zeolite that is used to prevent subclinical hypocalcemia, also known as milk fever, in cows.

Zeolites – also known as molecular sieves – are porous mineral frameworks, naturally occurring or manufactured, composed mainly of aluminium, silicon and oxygen.

Their three-dimensional structures can trap, exchange or release ions and molecules, enabling zeolites to find applications in diverse industrial and environmental contexts.

 

Further commercial validation

The bulk sample shipped by ZEO will be used to complete a test run of Protekta’s zeolite-based product, alongside the potential for animal trials in the future.

“We are very pleased to be supplying Protekta with a maiden bulk sample of Zeotech’s manufactured zeolite product after finalising the MoU earlier this year,” chief executive Scott Burkhart said.

“The execution of the MoU and shipment follows an ongoing and consistent effort from our in-lab team to produce manufactured zeolite using the company’s trade-secret and patent-pending processes.

“We look forward to progressing the test runs using our product and advancing potential commercial opportunities alongside Protekta in North America.”
