Deal to create multifunctional molecules

SurfaTech Corporation is associated with Siltech, LLC, which was founded by Tony O’Lenick. Initial research will look at ways to derivatise HallStar’s patented photostability technologies to create unique ingredients that improve both the utility and feel of sunscreen and sun protection product formulations. “This is a major step forward for both of our companies,” said John Paro, chairman, president, and CEO of HallStar. “I predict that we are going to see some cutting-edge technologies emerge from this agreement, which will really benefit formulators, and ultimately, consumers.” Craig Bonda, of HallStar, and Tony O’Lenick will lead the development team. “Our goal is to provide an excellent user experience in a wide range of personal care formulations – from sun care to daily wear,” said Kevin O’Lenick, president of SurfaTech. “This agreement gives us the chance to deliver outstanding cosmetic elegance utilising HallStar’s photostabilising technologies.”
