Firm stays ahead of competitors to provide clean air technology

When air quality became a major concern during the COVID-19 pandemic, Timilon Corp. was ready to help businesses, medical offices, schools and other consumers find solutions to address this of-the-moment need.

The Bonita Springs-based firm incorporates nanotechnology that uses safe earth minerals to create products and systems to capture and destroy airborne toxic and noxious gasses, particulates, allergens, bacteria and viruses. It’s technology originally developed for military use to destroy chemical warfare agents and toxic industrial chemicals, and it’s been commercialized by Timilon over the last several years for air purification, surface decontamination and odor removal use in business, industrial, educational, medical, governmental and residential settings.

Timilon Corp. — parent company of its brands EnviroKlenz, OdorKlenz and FAST-ACT —had already been growing prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. So when the global health crisis emerged, it was in a position to move rapidly. “We had already started that scale-up process, so when the pandemic hit, we had inventory,” says George Negron, vice president of operations for Timilon Corp. “That was uncommon. Most folks are building just in time, so a lot of our competitors had nothing.”
