Biodegradable Plastic

Biodegradable plastic is quite common.  Check out some of the plastics that can be made at home on the kitchen stove using such common ingredients as corn starch and glycerin.  Then we have other very interesting but very simple plastics like PVA (polyvinyl alcohol).  One company overseas has developed an entire line of water soluble plastics that will completely dissolve in water at different temperature ranges.  So each can be used for a different purpose.  They can all be completely recycled. Also if they were to be left outside they would completely dissolve in the rain with no harm to the environment.  Being made from nothing but carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.  No halogens here!  By this I mean elements like chlorine and fluorine.

So.  As I continue to move ahead in developing products I will be exploring this line of materials quite intensely.  Personally I am very fascinated by this technology.  The idea of including them in the development of superabrasive compounds and superabrasive water soluble brush on coatings for polishing rings for mineral deposit removal;...excites me greatly.

I'll keep you all updated as I progress through my posts on this blog.  HOWEVER;...
