Plant-42 / MEDICA
Surface protection starts with the water that goes into the formula and carries through to the water you may be able to source closer to use. We help distributors, suppliers and brands connect controlled-quality water, application-specific chemistry and a manufacturing plan built around where the product is needed.
From formula to production
Start with better water.
Water is an ingredient. Define water quality up front and set testing requirements for heavy metals, PFAS, microplastics and other contaminants where relevant. Start the chemistry from a consistent water specification.
Formulations that fit the job.
Florida Biotech develops formulations around what you need to clean and how the work is done. Start with the surface, residue, equipment and process. Evaluate established chemistries and suitable bio-based ingredients. Consider equipment-specific consumables, formulations for multiple uses, or a targeted cleaning application. Set the performance targets for speed and how long the result needs to last. Where disinfection is part of the brief, define the required approvals and use conditions.
Explore contract engineering ↗Rethink the final mile.
Plant-42 helps plan production and packaging around the supply route. Where it fits, we can explore a distributed manufacturing plan with local partners. When a concentrate fits the application, the program can explore adding controlled-quality water closer to use so less water needs to be shipped. Where the process allows, evaluate gravity-fed transfer as an option to reduce onsite pumping needs. The goal is to reduce avoidable water transport and energy use.

Your application. Our starting point.
First response, EMS and fire
You protect others. We help you plan the products behind that work. Build around turnout gear, PPE, response vehicles, cabinet equipment and working-animal support gear. Florida Biotech has developed detergent for turnout gear exposed to lithium-ion battery smoke residue. For fire cabinet or CO₂-based cleaning workflows, identify the equipment and target residue. Flag metals, VOCs, drug residue or biological contamination when they are part of the brief, along with the applicable gear-care requirements and documentation, including NFPA 1850 where relevant.
Explore first response ↗Transportation and aviation
From aviation and medevac to ground transport, define surface care around interiors, working equipment, material compatibility and turnaround routines. Agree on how speed and duration will be evaluated. Flag gamma irradiation if it is part of your workflow so the project can define a specific review.
Explore transportation ↗Public spaces and disaster remediation
From everyday surface care in shared spaces to extraordinary cleanup, bring us the surface, site water, equipment and cleanup challenge. We can help identify a suitable formulation or scope development around the job.
Explore public spaces and recovery ↗From people to working animals to spaces, we’ve got you covered.
Formulations and documentation
Find the formulation that’s right for you.
Tell us which formulation or application you’re considering. Request the relevant product and technical sheets or safety data sheets for your review.
Start your project
Let’s rethink surface protection together.
Tell us who uses the product, including any working-animal equipment or shared spaces involved. Bring the application, equipment and market. We can discuss an existing formulation or work with Florida Biotech to develop one around your requirements.
