FAQs

1. What is the difference between Charcoal and Arkshell Boards? 

Our two types of cutting boards, namely Arkshell and Charcoal, are both BPA free and achieve a 99.9% anti-bacterial effect naturally. Both do not absorb bacteria like wood and are more resistant to scratches as compared to normal plastic.

Charcoal boards have 2 additional features.

- emits far-infrared rays which are proven to have healing and therapeutic effects.
- deodorizing effects - achieves a 96.7% elimination of odor such as ammonia.

However, Arkshell has two colours (Green and Grey) and that will ensure we do not cross-contaminate our food accidentally.

Our recommendation is to use the Charcoal boards for cutting meat and fish products as it can eliminate smells to a certain extent while the Arkshell can be used for food that can be eaten raw, such as vegetables, fruits and bread.

2. What is the difference between your anti-bacterial cutting boards and those available in the market?

Our boards are infused with natural materials like charcoal and arkshell to achieve anti-bacterial effects. It is nature's way of protecting our health.

Whereas, the available anti-bacterial cutting boards in departmental stores make use of chemical addictives to achieve anti-bacterial effects. Do read the following article about the dangers of microban aka triclosan.

As quoted "We know enough to avoid PVCs, BPA, phalates and lead in our childrens' lunch containers, well here's another culprit to look out for. Microban. Another word and trade name for the pesticide Triclosan."

Watch out for these chemical based anti-bacterial addictives.  Our Biomaid cutting boards  from KOREA contain none of these harmful substances. Our cutting boards are infused with natural materials to give you a peace of mind.

3. Can your Biomaid cutting boards withstand heavy chopping? Will there be cuts and scratches?

Yes the boards are strong enough to do chopping. We are using the boards to chop chicken with bones. We have done slicing, cutting, mincing, chopping on the boards with no problems at all.

As we are dealing with sharp knives, there are bound to be cuts and scratches. In comparison to normal plastic and wooden boards, our TPU material is more resistant to such cuts and scratches. The grooves are shallow and smooth as compared to deep and rough cuts in normal boards. However, be mindful not to use the sharp points of choppers/knives to "poke" and drive into the boards as with other cutting boards.

You also need not worry about bacteria breeding in the grooves as lab tests in Korea have shown our cutting boards to be 99.9% anti-bacterial. Just wash and scrub the boards as you would other cutting boards to keep it clean. Air dry it too (I hang mine up by the holes in the corner of the boards) to avoid damp conditions.

4. How long can the TPU Arkshell and Charcoal cutting boards last?

Depending on your usage, TPU cutting boards are 3 – 4 times more flexible and scratch resistant compared to normal plastic cutting boards. Thus we expect our cutting boards to be able to last 3 – 4 times longer than conventional cutting boards.

5. What is so special about your cutting boards?

Our cutting boards are all naturally anti-bacterial thus there is no need for additional sterilization.

Our TPU material is also BPA free that makes it suitable for preparing food for young children.

The special grooves ensure that cutting juicy food will not be a messy affair and there are 3 different colors (olive green, stone grey and black) and icons (pig, apple and fish respectively) to prevent cross contamination of different food.
