Bio-Degradable Additive

VTC BD-25 is mainly in the form of granule, and refined from ground seashells. BD-25 contains a large amount of chitin. Through high temperature and special dehydration, chitin is transformed into chitosan. BD-25 is one of important natural microscopic organisms and non-toxic. It possesses good adhesivity, biological compatibility, biodegradability and special absorbability. It features its nanograde biodegradable plastic additive. The addition of BD-25 in a proportion of 20%~60% will change the constituents of all plastic ware. BD-25 is a 100% degradable and non-toxic substance – low carbon and low pollution. It is made from abandoned shells. It is not made from edible starch. No grain will be wasted. BD-25 after degradation can be served as organic fertilizer to balance the pH value of soil. It doesn’t hurt crops or burden environment. It is environmental and recyclable.

Five Major Characters

​Non-food and utilization of waste
  1. VTC BD-25 is eco-friendly material is made from non-edible food (non-corn or non-potato starch). No food is wasted.
  2. BD-25 is made from recycling marine waste- utilization of waste.
  3. Abandonment of degraded BD-25 won’t affect water or air quality, pollute soil. Burning BD-25 won’t produce dioxin.
Biodegradable
  1. One 0.3mm thick handbag in the outdoors can completely decompose in 3~6 months, and begins to decompose in 2 years if the same handbag is inside a building.
  2. In decomposition experiment of 127 days burying, the decomposition rate is over 80.6%.
  3. BD-25 becomes organic fertilizer after decomposition.
  4. Addition ratio and decomposition time are adjustable.
Food-grade accreditation
  1. BD-25 is tested by renowned inspection companies in Europe, the USA, Taiwan and China, proved to contain no lead, mercury, cadmium or plasticizer, and has no reaction of 8 heavy metals.
  2. BD-25 passes the food grade packing inspection, and is non-toxin accredited.
  3. BD-25 withstands temperatures -20~140oC, and doesn’t discharge toxin.
  4. The tableware with BD-25 under SGS test: no toxin, no plasticizer or none of 8 heavy metals is detected after 2 hours of reflux in 100oC olive oil.
91% far infrared
  1. BD-25 can be used for healthy care (such as eyeshade, mattress, clothes, etc…) to stimulate blood circulation and accelerate metabolism.
  2. BD-25 can be used for keeping food fresh (meat, seafood, vegetables and fruits) for a longer time.
  3. BD-25 can be used in tableware, cups and containers to eliminate bad tastes from food, such as being sour, salty, bitter, peppery hot, irritating, harsh, etc...

Concept on Biodegradation 

Step 1. Photo-degradation
​The major ingredients of BD-25 are organic calcium carbonate (CaCo3) from marine beings. The calcium carbonate melts in plastic ware. Under UV light from the sun, the plastic becomes fragile into pieces.
Step 2. Biodegradation
  • The marine organic calcium carbonate contains a large amount of chitin.
  • Chitin under high temperature dehydration (above 100oC) produces chitosan.
  • Chitosan melts in plastic ware where a large amount of bacteria will grow. The bacteria will nibble the plastic.
Step 3. BD-25 photo-degradation + biodegradation
For example: At the early stage, the plastic is coated with agricultural film over 30% BD-25. After photo-degradation, the plastic in agricultural film contains hydroxyl which will have a chemical change under UV light from the sun. The
C-H bond will be destructed, and the plastic will break and produce holes. At the later stage, it is unnecessary to recycle the debris. The debris is just rolled in soil. The undegraded agricultural film contains a large amount of chitosan where a large amount of bacteria will grow. The bacteria continue to nibble and degrade the remaining plastic. Thus, the agricultural film can quickly and completely degrade. The complete degraded products can be used as organic fertilizer.
Step4. Degraded products ​
calcium hydroxide (CaO), water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
