Lightwave Logic, Inc. Affirms Fully Rare-Earth-Free Supply Chain and Entirely U.S.-Based Production of Perkinamine

ENGLEWOOD, CO / ACCESS Newswire / October 15, 2025 / Lightwave Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ:LWLG) (the “Company”), a leading developer of high-performance electro-optic (EO) polymer materials, today reaffirmed its commitment to supply chain independence by confirming that its proprietary Perkinamine® platform is fully rare-earth-free and is not impacted by the recent export restrictions from the Chinese government on rare-earth elements and magnets.

Unlike alternative platforms that rely on fragile, geopolitically sensitive supply chains-such as thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) or indium phosphide (InP)-Perkinamine is engineered for complete supply chain resilience. Lightwave Logic’s entire production process is conducted at its state-of-the-art facility in Denver, Colorado, ensuring full domestic control over manufacturing, quality assurance, and innovation.

“From the beginning, our mission has been to create a technology platform that delivers not only cutting-edge performance, but also geopolitical resilience,” said Yves LeMaitre, CEO of Lightwave Logic. “In a world where supply chain continuity is a strategic imperative, Perkinamine stands alone-combining unmatched scalability with long-term sourcing confidence.”
