Exhibit 99.1
SINTX Technologies Announces SARS-CoV-2 Testing Results
SALT LAKE CITY, UT, June 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - SINTX Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SINT) (“SINTX” or the “Company”), an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) ceramics company focused on silicon nitride and its applications, today announced that in a controlled laboratory study, the SARS-CoV-2 virus was inactivated when exposed to SINTX’s sintered silicon nitride powder. The Company expects to share additional data soon, once the findings are published in a rapid-review forum.
“The preliminary results are encouraging,” said Dr. Sonny Bal, CEO of SINTX. “The antiviral data are consistent with the well-established anti-bacterial properties of SINTX’s silicon nitride, and with previously reported effectiveness against several single-strand RNA viruses. Additional testing at independent, outside laboratories is in progress to corroborate the effectiveness of silicon nitride against SARS-CoV-2.”

No representations are made as to the effectiveness of silicon nitride in consumer products, whether medical or otherwise. Investors are cautioned against making any assumptions based on the experimental results reported herein.
