Oakville, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 16, 2024) - FendX Technologies Inc. (CSE: FNDX) (OTCQB: FDXTF) (FSE: E8D) (the "Company" or "FendX"), a nanotechnology company developing surface protection coatings is pleased to announce that the Company plans to conduct real-world testing of REPELWRAP™ film with El Mocambo ("El Mocambo") which is a live music and entertainment venue.

El Mocambo, located in Toronto, Ontario, is an iconic live music and entertainment venue specializing in hosting live music, concerts, private events and multi-media broadcasting including hosting bands like the Rolling Stones and U2.  Once the manufacturing process at Dunmore is successful completed, FendX intends to test REPELWRAP™ film on high touch surfaces at the El Mocambo and assess the performance of the film over an approximate four-week timeframe to confirm if the film can maintain its repelling performance as shown in McMaster University’s lab.

FendX is currently engaged with Dunmore International Inc., to conduct pilot test runs on their commercial manufacturing line to optimize the manufacturing process to create films for testing in real-world settings.

FendX also plans to conduct real-world testing at Giulietta, an award winning and Michelin Guide recommended Italian fine dining restaurant (announced May 3, 2024) and at Island View Place Care a senior care and memory residential community (announced May 10, 2024) to cover high touch surfaces in their facilities with REPELWRAP™ film. The Company now has three confirmed real-world testing sites and believes the findings from these sites, as well as other sites the Company may engage, will contribute to the final product design.

Dr. Carolyn Myers, CEO of FendX states, "El Mocambo is a good location for us to test our film as they have a significant number of patrons that visit their facility for the various events they hold." Dr. Myers continues, "El Mocambo is our third test site, and we plan to engage with other potential sites in different industries to test REPELWRAP™ film. Through active engagement with these three locations and others we may engage, we aim to collect sufficient data to guide the process of finalizing the film which would lead to commercial production."
