About Affix Labs
We are pioneers in developing a safe, eco-friendly controlled release technology platform that enhances the duration and efficacy of repellents, pesticides, fragrances, and other oily active compounds.
Affix Labs is a Finnish/Dutch chemical technology start-up focused on creating biodegradable controlled release and spatial repellent technologies. Our goal is to combat diseases, reduce harmful pesticide use, and improve quality of life through next generation chemistry.
Repeltec, developed in our Dutch lab, is the culmination of years of research and rigorous testing with top universities and leading entomologists. This work has revealed broader applications for our technology platform.
What we do
At Affix Labs, we developed and patented a way to dissolve water-insoluble oily compounds into water. This technology, combined with other proprietary knowledge, enables the integration of oily active ingredients into biodegradable controlled release systems.
We focus on repellents and pesticides, as we believe these industries benefit the most from our innovations. Our products allow us to complement or replace harmful pesticides with repellents and less harmful alternatives, reducing the negative impact of harmful chemicals on the environment.
INSPIRED BY COMPOUNDS FOUND IN PEPPER PLANTS.
Our Objective
We are pioneers, developing a safe, eco-friendly controlled release technology platform that can enhance duration and efficacy of repellents, pesticides, fragrances and other oily active compounds.
With Repeltec we aim to provide a safe, long lasting, water based insect repellent that has a wide range of new applications, replacing or complement existing pest control products. Repeltec is the first ready-to-market proof of our technology platform.
Through our technology, partnerships and products we aim to be a globally leading insect repellent solution by 2030, protecting 1 billion people from disease-carrying insects, pests and reduce the impact of toxic pesticides, contributing to a safer world.
Under a 'Powered by Affix Labs' label, we supply established companies with our products under their brands.

Impact on Environement
Reducing & Replacing
Harmful Pesticides
Affix Labs has developed real world solutions to reduce and replace harmful pesticides.
In many situations it is not needed to kill insects, simply keeping them away is enough. Through smart use of known insect repellents and controlled release, Affix labs is able to use repel insects without killing them.
Our products offer a reliable, eco-friendly, and non-toxic alternative to conventional pest control products, meeting the growing demand for safe and environmentally responsible solutions.
Impact on Society
Over the years society has used so many pesticides that many insects have developed resistance. Perhaps the scariest form of pest resistance in Africa concerns malaria. In an attempt to keep these mosquitoes under control new modes of action, rotation and combination products are being developed.
By reducing the need of these lethal pesticides we can slow down the build up of pesticide resistance.
Impact on Vector Borne Disease
Community vs.
Personal Protection.
Repeltec provides personal protection over community protection. Most pesticide products used to fight vector borne diseases are designed to kill within 24 or 48 hours. This gives little protection to the person actually applying the product. We believe people are motivated to use products that provide personal protection. Combined strategies might be the most effective method to move forward.
