Our History

Allied BioScience is a company with deep roots in basic environmental science. Since its inception, the primary goal of ABS is to find a way to develop surface coating technology to create a formulation that provides a long-lasting solution to maintain clean surfaces.

By 2008, the company had enlisted the help of some of America’s leading scientific minds in the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology and material sciences to help formulate a surface coating that today is known as SurfaceWise™, effective at inhibiting the growth of bacteria, fungi (mold and mildew) and algae which cause odor, staining and discoloration. These respected scientists include well-known experts in surface-coating technologies.

ABS is an allied team of scientists and business professionals dedicated to bringing a new technology that redefines what it means to have a clean environment.
