Amyris, Inc. (Nasdaq:AMRS), the industrial bioscience company,
today announced that Amyris’s high-performance cleaning brand, Muck
Daddy™ (www.muckdaddy.com), has been named the official hand
cleaner of SCORE International® and the SCORE World
Desert Championship. SCORE produces the
prestigious desert racing series which includes the SCORE Baja
1000, winner of the 2015 USA Today reader poll for “Top 10 Best
Motorsports Race”. The five-race 2016 SCORE World Desert
Championship (schedule) kicks off February 25-28, 2016 with
the 30th Annual San Felipe 250 and culminates with the 49th SCORE
Baja 1000 from November 16-20, 2016 with global broadcast coverage
and syndication by the CBS Sports Network.
Muck Daddy joins an esteemed sponsor family of top brands that
will receive global media exposure to millions of consumers
globally throughout 2016 as part of this collaboration. Amyris
anticipates that the widespread event and brand publicity via
planned on- and off-line initiatives ─ coupled with broadcast
coverage ─ will drive brand awareness and visibility for Muck
Daddy, with the potential to rapidly escalate sales growth for
Amyris and its distribution partners.
“We’re very happy to support SCORE International and provide
them with our Muck Daddy cleaning products, based on our new,
highly effective, bio-based solvent technology, Myralene™ 10
solvent,” said Jason Voogt, Vice President, Performance Materials,
at Amyris. “Like the drivers and pit crews of their racing teams,
our products work under the most extreme, mucky conditions, where
speed and performance are critically important. And, unlike other
industrial cleaning brands, our products work without exposing them
to yet another petroleum-based product that stinks, stings, and
tears up their hands.”
“We are pleased to have a great brand like Muck Daddy join our
strong team of sponsors,” said Roger Norman, CEO/President of SCORE
International. “Our race participants and millions of fans trust
the brands that we choose to partner with so it was important to us
that Muck Daddy products perform as advertised, and that the brand
represent our values and requirements for high performance ─ and it
absolutely does. We look forward to an exciting, successful year
together with Muck Daddy.”
Under CEO Roger Norman’s leadership, SCORE International has
stated the goal of reducing the environmental impact of off-road
motorsports. In addition to promoting the use of Muck Daddy’s
bio-based cleaning products, Amyris and SCORE International have
been in discussions regarding the potential use of Amyris’s
cleaner-burning renewable fuels in the vehicles and power
generators used in support of off-road race activities.
Muck Daddy Products Support Being Cleaner AND
Greener
Muck Daddy was created by Amyris to showcase the
high-performance, eco-friendly cleaning power of its proprietary
Myralene™ 10 solvent, in the hopes of replacing harsh, toxic
solvents that are unpleasant to use and damage the environment.
Relationships between Muck Daddy and other manufacturers that are
closely involved with SCORE International are expected to give
Amyris bioscientists the opportunity to discover how Myralene™ 10
and other Amyris technologies can be applied to meet specific needs
in the vast racing and automotive industry. Amyris intends to
develop and commercialize a steady stream of cutting-edge new
products, within the Muck Daddy brand or via co-branded products,
which will provide ecologically better choices for consumers and
change the cleaning industry for the better.

About Muck Daddy
Muck Daddy is a breakthrough line of high performance cleaning
products based on Amyris’s proprietary Myralene™10 solvent. This
revolutionary ingredient is positioned to replace harsh petroleum-
and limonene-based solvents, as conscientious consumers and
increasingly strict environmental regulations limit their use in
consumer products. Muck Daddy’s first release, the High Performance
Hand Cleaner (available with and without pumice), is USDA Certified
Biobased and formulated with industrial workers’ needs and wellness
in mind. The Scrubbing Wipes can be used to clean oily, greasy dirt
off hands as well as tools, parts, and surfaces. While many
grease-cutting cleaners can strip and dry out skin, Muck Daddy hand
cleaners also contain Amryis’s premium skincare ingredient,
squalane, to moisturize and improve the condition of hands. The
unique formulas smell fresh and feel great while they provide
uncompromisingly effective cleaning performance. Other products are
scheduled to launch in the next few months, providing a better way
for America’s industrial workforce to clean virtually everything in
their shops without harmful petrochemicals.
