Long description

After years of research FlushawayTM has perfected and patented the technology for replacing the plastic films used in napkins and liners, with its own B-9b film. This revolutionary film, enhanced by nanotechnology, has all the properties of regular plastic for the purpose of containing menstrual fluids, yet it begins to break down as soon as it comes in contact with the water in the toilet bowl. The swirling action and agitation in the bowl helps break down the napkin so that it is totally flushable. The rest of the material used in the napkins breaks apart while flowing through the pipes and biodegrades in 71 days; 66% faster than the ASTM D5988-03 International standard requires.

Long description

Spider silk has long been admired by material scientists for its unique combination of high-performance mechanical properties including toughness, strength, lightness, and flexibility. Unfortunately, no one has been able to produce this wonder material in commercial quantities. Nexia is the only company which has successfully produced fibres from recombinant spider silk and is currently in the process of developing commercial quantities of BioSteel using its proprietary transgenic goat technology. Medical device applications of BioSteel-M include wound closure systems like microsutures, surgical meshes, and artificial ligaments such as anterior cruciate ligaments in the knee (ACL). Industrial BioSteel-I applications may include consumer products such as biodegradable fishing line, tennis strings and military applications (soft body armour). Using its transgenic platform technology, Nexia also produces biopharmaceuticals, where it uses its transgenic production system to produce complex proteins that can be used as drugs.
