What are tennis players saying about NEH Bio?
"It feels great! Good power, good spin, great control. Nice all court feel. Good on volleys, good on groundies. I like the access to power!" - David H.
"I like NEH a lot. I would go lighter on the tension since I play with a stiff racket. It feels like a synthetic gut that plays like a multifilament. And it's biodegradable which makes me feel good as a customer." - Rodrigo
How Fast Does NEH Bio Biodegrade?
Once placed in landfill, Velociti-Bio technology expedites the decomposition process, allowing NEH Bio to biodegrade 100x faster than other synthetic tennis strings. Whereas other synthetic tennis strings take 400-600 years to decompose, Velociti NEH biodegrades in just 3 to 5 years once placed in a landfill.
How Does Velociti NEH Tennis String Biodegrade So Quickly?
Velociti NEH Bio features a 100% organic, non-toxic additive that is incorporated into the string during the manufacturing process. This additive contains no heavy metals or other harmful ingredients.
- Once Velociti NEH Bio tennis string is placed in a landfill, specific microbes found in that environment begin to break down the string.
- Activated by natural microbes, the additive breaks down the nylon string at a molecular level.
- The open polymer chain allows water and microbes to enter, breaking the nylon down to the element level.
- The result is humus (end-product of decomposed organic matter) and biogas (carbon dioxide and methane gases), similar to those naturally occurring in our environment.
Will NEH Bio Tennis String Decompose on My Racket?
Absolutely not! NEH Bio tennis string will not start to decompose on your racket or in your tennis bag. Specific microbes found in landfills are required to start the decomposition process. Velociti NEH Bio won’t begin to decompose until it’s thrown away and placed in a landfill.
Is Velociti-Bio Technology Safe for the Environment?
Yes, the 100% organic additive used in Velociti NEH Bio tennis string is safe for humans and the environment.
It is food contact safe per the US Food and Drug Administration and compliant with California Proposition 65 (CA Safe Drinking Water Act). The additive is free from BPA, phthalates, toxic materials (lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, mercury) and contains no heavy metals.
