FT-eco catalyst is a new-generation environment-friendly catalyst
It can effectively decompose volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as formaldehyde, which is harmful to the human health, and ethylene, which accelerates the decay of fruits and vegetables.
It has antibacterial, anti-mildew and odor suppression effects, helping to maintain a healthy living environment.
It is an environment-friendly (eco) catalyst with low temperature activity (T) . This technology for mass production is developed by Furuya Metal Co., Ltd. (F).
Ethylene gas
Fruits and vegetables are too mature and spoiled, eventually leading to rot.
Mold, fungus
They often float in the air, and may cause infections, allergies, etc.
Odor
It is difficult to define and quantify “unpleasantness”. It is a sensory pollution nuisance that varies more from person to person than noise.
Formaldehyde
Its effect on the human body may cause various symptoms due to different concentrations.
FT-eco catalyst can effectively decompose and remove formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, ethylene and other gases that are harmful to the human health, and it works even at the low temperature of -20℃.
In addition, not only deodorization, but also anti-mildew and antibacterial effects are recognized, and it also helps to maintain a healthy living environment.
Its high effect lasts for a long time, and it can be used for a longer time than previous products, which can reduce costs and save energy.
This technology has also attracted the attention of many industry players and home appliance manufacturers with the goal of reducing food loss, and it has been used as a catalyst material for refrigerators and air purifiers by some large home appliance companies.
■ What is FT-eco catalyst?
FT-eco catalyst is a new-generation environment-friendly catalyst.
The rare metal platinum in the FT-eco catalyst can decompose harmful gases.
It decomposes harmful gases such as ethylene, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde into water and carbon dioxide.
A catalyst made by using special technology to attach rare metal platinum (Pt) to a silicon dioxide (silica) material with uniform and regular pores (mesopores) like a honeycomb.
The catalyst itself does not change in the chemical reaction, but changes the reaction rate. Its high effect can last for a long time.

■ What is the role of FT-eco catalyst?
FT-eco catalyst is a new-generation environment-friendly catalyst.
FT-eco catalyst can decompose gases that are harmful to the human health.
FT-eco catalyst can suppress odor.
FT-eco catalyst has antibacterial effect.
FT-eco catalyst can inhibit the occurrence of mildew.
【Fresh keeping experiment of lettuce】
FT- eco catalyst can decomposes ethylene gas and prolongs the preservation time of vegetables.
① FT-eco catalyst can decompose gases that are harmful to the human health
FT-eco catalyst can effectively decompose ethylene, carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, which are harmful to the human body, into water and carbon dioxide.
FT-eco catalyst can also function at room temperature, so it is expected to reduce the carbon dioxide generated by heating and energy consumption.
Fruits and vegetables release ethylene gas that promotes maturation, but this gas also promotes decay. FT-eco catalyst can effectively decompose ethylene gas into water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide produced by decomposition can inhibit the respiration of fruits and vegetables, so that the freshness of fruits and vegetables can be preserved for a long time.

③ FT-eco catalyst has the antibacterial effect
The antibacterial ability test of the FT-eco catalyst at room temperature, which the Japan Food Analysis Center is entrusted to conduct, confirms its antibacterial effect against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
【Without FT-eco catalyst】
【With FT-eco catalyst】
【Antibacterial ability test】
Add 1g of catalyst to 10 mL of the test bacteria solution as the test solution. Store it at room temperature, add the test solution to the SCDLP broth medium 24 hours later, and measure the number of viable bacteria in the test solution. Compare with the test solution without catalyst.

④ FT-eco catalyst can inhibit the occurrence of mildew
The observation test of FT-eco catalyst on toast bread at room temperature and dark place over time confirms the effect of inhibiting the growth of mildew.
【Anti-mildew experiment by using toast bread】
Under the action of FT-eco catalyst, the occurrence of mildew is overwhelmingly suppressed. There was no mildew on the toast after 10 days.
FT-eco catalyst can change society
FT-eco catalyst is a new-generation environment-friendly catalyst. It is highly anticipated that it will be flexibly used in retail stores where the freshness of fruits and vegetables, flowers and plants need to be preserved, and in logistics areas where cold chain is required. Through further technological development of FT-eco catalyst and expansion of sales channels, Furuya Eco-Front Technology Co., Ltd. ensures a safe and secure diet by preserving freshness and helps to reduce food loss. By virtue of deodorizing, anti-mildew and antibacterial effects, it helps to maintain a healthy living environment. Since it can function at low temperatures, it helps to reduce carbon dioxide generated by energy consumption.
