Aversion Technologies markets chemicals, both natural and synthetic, to manufacturers throughout the world. These specialty chemicals are used to make products unpalatable to humans and animals. This is a very effective way of protecting children and pets from consuming dangerous goods (antifreeze and household cleaners). Typically, exposure to aversives results in future avoidance. This behavior modification leads to long-term protection of people, plants and animals.

Chiefly among our products are the natural bitterants colocynth and andrographolide, the synthetic bitterants denatonium benzoate and denatonium saccharide; the naturally hot and spicy capsaicin derived from hot peppers and the synthetic nonivamide.

Any of our herbs or chemicals can be used as an additive, rendering a product inedible, and thereby, safe. Good examples are the addition of denatonium benzoate to antifreeze and household cleaners, or using nonivamide in pepper sprays.
