About Chlorine Dioxide Tablets: www.globalexw.com
According to Health Canada guidelines medical marijuana must not be treated before, during or after the drying process with a pest control product that has not been registered under the Pest Control Products Act for use on marijuana for medical purposes. These Chlorine Dioxide tablets are fully tested and certified by NSFTM (www.nsf.org) ensuring that every aspect of the tablets development and usage complies with strict standards and procedures. Matica will conduct testing on these tablets in medical marijuana growing operations with a goal to become certified by Health Canada and the product of choice for all marijuana growers.
Joe Lu of ChroniCare states, “The potential of these exclusive Chlorine Dioxide tablets for the medical marijuana industry is tremendous and could quickly become an industry standard. ChroniCare will be conducting thorough testing on behalf of Matica at the ChroniCare medical marijuana growing facilities and we are confident that we will meet and exceed the high standards put forth by Heath Canada under the Pest Control Products Act for use on marijuana for medical purposes.”
Matica will conduct testing of these Chlorine Dioxide tablets in marijuana growing facilities though ChroniCare Canada Corp., a privately financed corporation and medical marijuana producer operating as a licensed producer under the medical marijuana access regulations (MMAR). ChroniCare will use these Chlorine Dioxide tablets at their medical marijuana grow facility and will monitor and record the effects on the spider mites, fungus and other issues encountered during the growth of various medical marijuana strains. Matica announced on June 18, 2014, that it had entered into a non-binding letter of intent with ChroniCare Canada Inc. ChroniCare is a private company based in Mississauga, Ont., which has been producing medical marijuana under a Marijuana Medical Access Regulations license since 2012. ChroniCare and Matica intend on applying for and becoming licensed under the new Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations shortly.
Medical marijuana is grown in very humid conditions that can force licenced producers (“LP”) to contend with fungus, pests, mold and bio-film (A living complex of organic and inorganic components that becomes established on surfaces that are in regular contact with water). As such, a sanitation program for the growing facility is of the upmost importance. Our Chlorine Dioxide tablets eliminate sources and transfers of harmful pathogens and attacks bio-film that form on equipment. Surfaces such as pressurized irrigation lines, non-pressurized recirculation system return lines, holding tanks, mixing tanks and containment vessels are prone to bio-film.
Chlorine dioxide is a chemical compound with the formula C102 and is used in industrial disinfection in varying formats. It’s a powerful oxidizer that has been used for a wide range of purposes, this including effectiveness to eliminate many common insects by disinfecting and sanitize the growing environment, Matica plans to use these Chlorine Dioxide tablets in medical marijuana grow operations to prevent commonly found spider mites and study its effectiveness with a strict quality standards. Matica hopes to develop a branded product and process which would become the industry standard for growers of medical marijuana.
Under the proposed terms and conditions and following the signature of the Definitive Agreement, Matica will acquire 60% of the proposed Joint Venture by cover all the costs from the testing of the tablets, complete a report base on the test results and submit an application to Health Canada for use in medical marijuana growing operations.
