Science That Protects, Not Harms
We envision a world where protection from pests and diseases doesn't come at the cost of our health or the environment. Our goal is to become a global leader in eco-friendly chemical technologies, with the ambition of protecting 1 billion people from harmful chemicals and insect-borne diseases. We are committed to developing safe, sustainable, and effective solutions that reduce global pesticide usage and improve quality of life.
A Mission Born from a Global Health Crisis
Affix Labs was founded with a clear purpose during the Zika virus outbreak in Latin America. Our founder, Tom Sam, recognized an urgent need for a safer alternative to the existing neurotoxic insect repellents to protect vulnerable communities, especially pregnant women and their unborn children.
This initial spark grew into a dedicated mission. Tom joined forces with co-founder Lauri Hulkko, and together they assembled a team of expert chemists to pioneer a new approach. Through years of rigorous research and testing, we developed a patented method to dissolve oily active ingredients into water-based, biodegradable, controlled-release systems.
This innovation led to the creation of Repeltec, our flagship product and the first proof of our platform's power to create truly safe and long-lasting insect repellents.
We Are Affix Labs: Innovating for a Safer, Greener Future
We are a Dutch/Finnish green chemistry start-up on a mission to combat disease, reduce harmful pesticide use, and improve quality of life worldwide through next-generation science.
