HONG KONG, Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Paychest, Inc.
(OTC:PYCT) PayChest, Inc. (the "Company") is very pleased to
announce the start of commercial production of a new design of
Flushaway® sanitary products.
Flushaway® is a uniquely flushable and biodegradable range of
patented sanitary products, expected to be price competitive to
industry majors.
A flushable sanitary product solves a major problem for the
consumer making after-use disposal discreet, private, easily
accessible, hygienic, and clean. A biodegradable product
ensures speedy elimination of the waste. The American testing
standard ASTM D5988-03 requires the product biodegrade in 180 days,
while our Flushaway® products biodegrade in 71 days.
Flushable tests were carried out by Brunel University,
England, and more recently by Air
Products Polymers in the U.S. Sanitary products from industry
majors are not flushable or biodegradable and estimates suggest
they take 200 years or more to degrade.
A manufacturing agreement with Xinpro Manufacturing became
effective in March 2011 when Xinpro
completed the setup of a dedicated Flushaway® manufacturing
facility in the Shanghai area, and
the subsequent delivery of the first tailor made machine.
This was the first in a series of machine purchases by Xinpro
for producing Flushaway® in accordance with our new patent (patent
pending).
This first film production machine and newly developed film
manufacturing process, designed in the US, manufactures a cost
effective, polyvinyl alcohol film using specialized materials,
formulations, and know-how. A high quality film, along with
patented treatment and other preparations, is key to ensuring the
finished product performs during use while remaining flushable and
biodegradable at disposal.
Retailer acceptance of Flushaway® has already been demonstrated
by Consolidated Ecoprogress, which achieved sales of an earlier
version to many stores including Walmart (USA), Boots (UK) and Big W (Australia). Under a license agreement
initially issued by Ecoprogress, we are producing a lower cost
product that performs better, and anticipate higher gross margins
under the current Paychest business model.
The Company is confident Flushaway® will deliver "more for less"
to the consumer by providing a product:
- that has equal quality with the extra features of flushable and
biodegradable
- at a lower or equal shelf price to industry majors (such as
Proctor and Gamble, Kimberly-Clark and Johnson & Johnson)
More details on the product can be found at
www.paychest.com.
The Company is focusing its efforts on sales and will make an
announcement when information is available.
