Research on NitoPro
 Environment and Wildlife - Impact Report
 UNLIKE OTHER SOFT PLASTIC LURES - NitroPro is environmentally safe and responsible because it is fully degradable -leaving no harmful chemicals, no toxic residue and no long-lasting plastic bodies, which may harm fish and/or other wildlife.
NitroPro... a truly responsible innovation for the "Future of Fishing" and our planet's natural resources'.
NitroPro is a unique substance.., a new, naturally degradable, organic based polymer which provides the ultimate soft bait delivery system. Discover 
NitroPro... these environmentally safe and wildlife friendly soft baits, feature the performance and quality you demand, only better.
IN THE PACKAGE: NitroPro Baits demonstrate excellent shelf life in physical properties and appearance, as well as scent-stability with a natural longer-lasting scent that does not diminish or fade like other soft PVC baits.
DECOMPOSITION and DEGRADABILITY: In any microbially-active environment such as freshwater and saltwater, baits made with NitroPro are fully degradable, environmentally safe and wildlife friendly. As water activates tile organic resins by entering the micro-porous veins and cavities of this naturally degradable substance, it not only releases the strongest and longest-lasting flavor/scent trail, it also slowly dissolves the bait, leaving behind small non-hazardous particles.
STAGES OF DECOMPOSITION: Data from a variety of environmental and controlled laboratory testing grades the decomposition rate of NitroPro Baits, from 1 to 5 years variable, and is further dependent upon the specific properties and characteristics of the environment (i.e. organisms, bacteria, oxygen, temperature, pH or saline levels, as well as placid, turbulent or tidal water movement, etc.) but is best described in the following 4 stages.
Stage (1) - water activates the scent delivery system by entering the micro-porous organic substance, releasing the flavor/scent. This activity provides a 16 to 24 hour peak performance time-release period, and continues thereafter, as the microbially-active Water replaces the impregnated flavor/scent stimulants. 


Side Specimens are Standard Baits Middle Specimen in Distilled Water 72+ Hours 

Stage (2) - presumes the NitroPro bait has been lost or deposited in a natural aquatic environment. Thereafter the bait shape or body will begin to form a visible film membrane or fuzzy coating on its exterior, caused by the active micro-organisms attacking the substance. Decomposition activity is throughout, and the visible, physical appearance and likeness of the bait shape begins to distort and deteriorate to a non-recognizable state. This visible transformation tends to discourage wildlife consumption and can take place within days or weeks.

Stage (3) - the physical properties such as tensile strength and elasticity breakdown, the porous body develops holes and visible pockets throughout, as the veins and cavities continue to swell and open from internal activity and decay. As decomposition continues, pieces and segments of the body begin to fall off. At this stage, water flow, turbulence and tidal movement accelerate the breaking up of the mass and further aid the degradation process.

b. Specimen in Distilled Water 32+ Months* 

Stage (4) - the microbially-active water will complete the final stage of decomposition, as the bait substance safely disperses, leaving behind no measurable amount of harmful chemicals, no toxic residue, only the knowledge of a safer more responsible usage of our planet's resources and outdoor wildlife.

Laboratory and Graph Comparison 

The scent delivery system and decomposition of baits produced with NitroProTM have been evaluated under a variety of environmental and controlled laboratory conditions which can occur within a range of microbially-active environments, i.e. freshwater, saltwater, mineralized water, landfill, etc.
PROTEIN RELEASE DETERMINATIONS: (NitroPro Baits vs. Brand X* with Standard)
NitroPro's superior scent delivery system demonstrates a much higher, continuous release of proteins at all time measurements. The following graphs illustrate: NitroPro delivering several times more, concentrated protein scent per volume during "Peak Performance" fishing periods and thereafter. 

*Brand X represents 3 of the top 5 scented baits - (Fishing Tackle Retailer and Fishing Tackle Trade News)

DECOMPOSITION & DISSIPATION GRAPHS: (FTIR spectra were run on NitroPro Baits) 

Plots of percent mass extracted vs. extraction time @ 16 hours, indicated 2.2 years to 100% decomposition, and @ 48 hours, indicated 7.4 years to 100% decomposition. When sufficient data points are measured that take into account the factor of real life - where water flows by the bait and prevents the localized saturation of water from the bait's own decomposition residue.
The FTIR data supports all earlier dissipation tests run over a two-year period with 100% decomposition from 1 to 5 years variable, based on the microbially-active environment, i.e. freshwater, saltwater, etc. Other factors influencing the rate of degradation are temperature, pH, oxygen, bacteria, water flow and movement.
