Tests are currently underway in the dry-cleaning market with a view to replacing certain solvents that are currently used in dry-cleaning. Some of these solvents are potentially harmful, having been linked with certain types of cancer and some are now facing a ban in various states in the USA.
The company believes that its new proprietary technology would eradicate the need for these solvents from dry-cleaning providing safety and monetary incentives for the dry cleaning industry.
The new technology could be on the UK market as early as 2009. Xeros has recently received funding of £500,000 from the University's commercialisation partner, IP Group, subject to certain milestones being met.
