What is PDP

Aching knees, struggling back pains, suspicious cancer… etc. Those in a certain age group in concern of their potential illness discovers PDP related products a new topic to uncover. There are many instances of people describing it as ‘It warms my body from inside and it makes me feel good’, ‘my health got better by simply using it’…etc. Is it all real? Or is it a simple coincidence?

What are the benefits of PDP, Platinum Diamond Photon? Optical treatment has been applied in many fields such as far infrared and laser treatment. What makes PDP different from other optical treatments? We contacted Rainbow Inc. responsible for researching and manufacturing PDP.

Start of PDP

PDP is made of a nano-diamond and nano-platinum as its basis with other minerals and elements made possible with state-of-the-art technology. There are many minerals known to us that have beneficial properties, the PDP harnesses such benefits and it is made into usable products. One special mineral is diamond. In PDP, certain spectrums of light, the so -called light of life that is part of the far-infrared spectrum, are emitted. These lights are known to have beneficial properties to the human body. These pheromones are well known globally, and their mechanisms were well discovered. PDP has been around quite a long time, according to Rainbow Inc. 15 years before the creation of PDP, there was a platinum fiber made with titanium oxide and platinum colloid. Today Platinum Colloid is widely used on cosmetic, and supplementary products, before the 1990s its usage was not well known to the public. Rainbow Inc. who had been manufacturing supplementary goods has found the properties of platinum fiber and incorporated into products to be used as beneficial usage. This has been introduced to the Japanese market and it has ever since been widespread around the globe with its light of life.

Entering the market

As Rainbow Inc. had branded and sold platinum fiber into the market, its beneficial properties were not well known to the public. The main component of platinum fiber was chemically stable titanium oxide infused with platinum colloid within a certain ratio. These compounds amplified the lights of life in room temperature and to be emitted to its surroundings. After it had entered the market for 15 years, people who had used a product had discovered the beneficial properties of platinum fiber, and it became widespread from person to person by individual promotions of products.

Light of life, effect of photon

Sunlight has been providing the light to the Earth ever since its creation. Thanks to its existence, life could bear on earth. Some wavelengths of light that are entering the earth’s atmosphere, called the light of life, give beneficial effects to the human body. 2/3 of the human body is composed of water, water molecules have energies and are on constant vibration. The more its vibration occurs, the more active the cells become. This light of life wavelength resonates with human cells and excites cell activity. Light of life is just below the visible light spectrum therefore it cannot be seen with naked eyes. From the far infrared spectrum, only 4~14-micron spectrum can be called light of life. There have been many products out in the market that can generate far infrared light, however only a small fraction of the spectrum of so called light of life has beneficial properties to the human body. Thus, if this spectrum of light is not generated, no matter how much far infrared light it produces, it has zero benefits. Therefore we can conclude that far infrared alone cannot be beneficial. Platinum fibers have been proven to stably produce light of life in room temperature through numerous tests. There have been remarkable cases of people who had used platinum fiber to cure illness and recover from skin burns. However, we cannot simply believe what is presented to us, but to deeply analyze with scientific evidence.

PDP is superior to platinum fibers in terms of performance and scientific evidence. PDP has been proven by Dr. Mamdooh Ghenoum at DREW Medical Institute at UCLA, along with Dr. James Gimzewski, director of the Department of Otolaryngology at UCLA. Many papers and research had proven an effect of PDP. More information will be introduced at chapter 4, but it is notable that PDP has proven itself to increase immunity, which brought many interests to scientists and researchers.

Creation of new material

Platinum-containing cosmetics and supplements have seen an increase in demand, a trend that started 22~25 years ago. While platinum fibers entered the commercial market about 30 years ago. Rainbow Inc. had continued its research on discovering new alternative sources. Diamond is one of the strongest materials that are created from the earth. In industrial application it is highly sought after for its physical and optical properties. Many researchers and corporations have studied diamond for a long time, but due to its difficulty in synthesis, sufficient information was limited. For instance, diamond microchips had been studied for quite a while, but due to its difficult production method made it economically unsuited for mass production.

Interest in nano-diamond

Platinum had been used in many applications such as catalytic converters on automobiles. Despite its variety of usage, platinum is quite a rare metal compared to other metals. Global deposit of platinum is limited, and its depletion is inevitable. Currently it is speculated around 16,000 tons of platinum are left to be mined, for reference that is about a cube with 8.5m wide, just enough to fill an office room. It was apparent the need for alternatives to platinum were desperately needed. Humans have a keen sense that can only be felt with skins. In ancient times where technology and science were in its primitive state, humans have found relief from wearing rare material jewelry such as gold, silver, platinum and diamond. Not just simply by its beauty but as mental assurance by wearing such jewelry.

Episode from its development

The idea of incorporating diamond was set, but diamond had been researched and utilized by different corporations. Rainbow Inc. needed a different way of approach and contacted the Mitsubishi corporation. From the help of Mitsubishi corporations, Rainbow inc. had discovered Nano-diamonds are commercially sold on international markets. There were two major sources of nanodiamonds, Chinese and Russian. Chinese made nano diamonds were generally impure, but Russian made nano diamonds were of high purity. Nano-diamonds were not fabricated individually but made with special explosive compounds in a furnace. Russia has been manufacturing diamonds for the past 50 years thanks to its major support from the government. A diamond is mostly composed of elemental carbon. It is synthesized deep in the mantle at extreme pressure and temperature. At this condition crystalline structure of carbons are rearranged and diamond is created. During this process some impurities get trapped, turning some diamonds to a bare bluish or yellowish color. Scientists have speculated, by mimicking the same process under similar conditions, they can artificially grow diamonds at the lab. Out of all artificial diamonds on the market, not all artificial diamonds are true carbon-based diamonds. These are zirconia, specifically zirconia dioxide, thus these are so called ‘silicon diamond’. Russian made diamonds contain some impurities that got trapped during an explosive manufacturing method. Chinese made diamonds contain far more impurities compared to Russian made. Rainbow Inc. was finding its ways to refine nano-diamonds; they soon received news that a small Japanese research team had completed the nano-diamond refining process. Rainbow Inc. had contacted the research team and secured the refining process to be used in cosmetic applications.

Future of Nano diamonds

Nano diamonds are utilized in many fields. Common LCD television uses nano diamonds to solve lingering pictures that were present in older models. It is also used in construction applications in concrete to increase its strength. One major benefit of nano diamonds is that they are anti-bacterial. As they are not an active agent but a catalyst, they are completely safe for use and its applications are boundless. Currently they are used in handles, toilet seat, coating, and air fresheners for home applications. One notable application is in use for semiconductor microchips. Nano diamonds are made with carbon, an insulator, but in diamond form, they act as a semiconductor. Microchips made with nano diamonds have much faster data transfer, and are resilient to heat.

Nano diamonds in use of health-related products

Rainbow Inc. had acquired co-patent with a research team. That specific patent is in nano-diamond applications. Rainbow Inc. takes no credit for the nano-diamond synthesis technology but Rainbow inc. have discovered its benefits and application in health-related products. By incorporating already existing platinum fiber they have noticed an increase in performance. In recent years, nano diamonds are being researched for applications in the medical field to deliver medicine safely and precisely to target organs (Drug Delivery System). Diamonds are clinically safe, therefore it is the best agent for drug delivery systems. Carbon is known for amplifying the far infrared radiations. Titanium is also known for the same application, but carbon is far more superior. How about charcoal, which is composed of the same carbon elements? Like previously mentioned carbon at its standard form is an insulator. Therefore its physical and chemical properties are way different from diamond. By becoming a nano sized particle, its surface area squares itself, thus nano diamonds are far more suited for these applications.

Peculiar connection of hot spring water and nano diamond.

Nano diamonds have unique properties in that they have a fast electron transfer speed. Rainbow Inc. had speculated its property could bring many benefits to the human body. Fast electron transfer means easier release of wavelengths. Researchers have discovered similar properties between diamond and hot spring. Hakone hot spring is widely popular for its benefits. Many people with injuries and illness had visited the hot spring for its beneficial properties. What makes hot spring water different from regular boiled water? They are chemically and physically identical substances. What makes hot spring water so special? Scientists who have studied hot springs have discovered natural hot spring waters contain energy that was stored under the crust. As these hot spring waters carry different minerals from the bottom of the earth, it is trying to become its stable form, releasing small amounts of energy during that process. Our body is like a battery. We digest foods that were taken from the mouth, get dissolved in the stomach and later absorbed by our intestines. Each individual cell is activated by small chemical energy signals. When our body is not in good shape, chemical signals are interrupted. The energy from a hot spring water is absorbed by the human body and its balance is kept in check.

To become nano particle

As matters smaller than micron are measured in nano. To become nano means making bigger materials into smaller fragments. Nano diamonds are becoming nano much different from other nano processing. Diamonds are made up of carbon. From naturally formed diamonds to artificially grown diamonds, using explosive synthesis methods to grow nano diamonds have come a long way. PDP cannot use any nano diamonds as there are different varieties of nanodiamonds. For reference, to put into perspective that can be easily understood, if earth’s diameter was 1 meter, diameter of a ping pong ball would be 1 nanometer.

SP3 structure and SP2 structure

Nano diamonds have two unique advantages. First is that diamond in its pure form is an insulator, but by adding different elements makes it into a semiconductor. Nano diamonds used in PDP have SP3 as its core and SP2 as its outer layer. Due to this structure, nano diamonds act as semiconductors making electrons easy to travel. Second is that diamonds change the chemical composition of nearby components, such as body odor. Germanium and Tourmaline also have semiconductor characteristics. Germanium becomes semiconductor when it reaches temperatures of 32 Celsius, and tourmaline becomes semiconductor when a shock is given. Titanium oxide activates when strong ultraviolet light is present. All previously mentioned materials need initial conditions. Diamond used in PDP does not require any form of light, shock, and temperature. This makes it an ideal substance for PDP applications. Nano diamonds on itself have electrons flowing, by adding platinum as its intrusion makes it more active.

Nano diamond-PDP manufacturing process

PDP is a new material created by state-of-the-art technology and nano technology from Japan. Nano diamonds are created using carbon deficient explosives and refined using chemical washing. Different explosives are used for different applications. In general TNT and RDX are mixed and detonated in high pressure (20 Gpa=gigapascal) and high temperature (3000 K ’=2700 C’). In this condition carbon becomes diamond. However, at its initial formation, diamond’s purity is not sufficient to be used in PDP. Further chemical, pressure and heat treatments are required for creation of nanodiamonds. Finished nano diamonds are about 4~8nm (nanometer) in diameter and have a surface area of 250~350m^3/g. A strong SP3 core with SP2 layers surrounded by non-crystalized carbon, carbonic acid and ester. Nano diamond is composed of 80~90% carbon, 1~2% hydrogen, 1~3% Nitrogen and 8~15% oxygen. These diamonds are then infused with nano platinum (10~20nm). Nano platinum is also used in the medical field for its sterile properties. Nano platinum used in PDP has the same quality as used in medical fields. There are many product advertisements that are claiming a nano platinum usage. Even if these products contain nano platinum, one cannot simply expect the same result as PDP. At each 1 cm^2 of PDP fiber contains 10,000 particles of nano platinum and 4,000,000 particles of nanodiamonds.

Properties of nano materials – hyper dispersion nano diamonds

Nano materials such as nano diamonds and nano platinum have one disadvantage. At nanoscale nanoparticles want to become its most stable form. Once separated they tend to form back into one huge particle, losing its benefits as nanoparticles. PDP nano particles are special for their hyper dispersion as they are coated evenly. Commercial products claiming to incorporate nano particles are questionable by nature. Even if a product claims to incorporate nano diamonds and platinum, without hyper dispersion technology, they become one solid clump, rendering it useless. Professor Masato Watanabe has discovered fascinating methods to achieve hyper dispersion. Particles are evenly coated and separated homogeneously like well-cooked stir-fried rice.

PDP in ceramics

Rainbow Inc. is currently creating PDP fibers to be used in pillows, bed sheets and so on. A new application is on ceramics. Creating PDP infused ceramics is difficult. During a ceramics production, potteries are baked at 700 C’ temperature. One of the problems is that diamonds return to their most stable carbon form at this temperature. By baking it once and coating the ceramics with nanoparticles to be baked again in controlled temperatures is a technical challenge. With trial and error, Rainbow Inc. had successfully created PDP ceramics.

PDP process and its new technique

Users might question themselves if PDP infused materials deteriorated over time. 10 years ago, when nano technology was not as common this idea was far more apparent. Where nanoparticles have a tendency to coagulate into bigger particles. It is a common phenomenon at nanoscale. It is difficult to maintain homogenous distance between particles like well-cooked stir-fried rice. Let us use dyed cloth as an example, let us assume that we have worn a black cloth for 10 years (albeit it is unrealistic to wear the same clothing for a decade) 10 years later would that shirt be discolored into white? Not really. It may have faded a little, but it will still be black. Of course, this is the dye we are speaking about which is not related to PDP. ‘It is corporate classified information so I cannot elaborate any further, but PDP fiber manufacturing process acts similarly when clothes are dyed. As our corporation has state-of-the-art dyeing technology after countless trial and error, we have mastered its method. All of this is our own method and thanks to its technique, each PDP fiber contains 4 million nanodiamonds and 10,000 nano platinum particles at 1 cm^2. So please rest assured it will not degrade that easily’. Thanks to this technology PDP can be applied to natural fibers such as cotton, while it was usually applied on artificial fibers. Not just simply coating the layers of fiber it can also penetrate fibers. Making the process very tedious. ‘For instance, when forming polyester fibers, it needs to be controlled to prevent clumping. In the field we call this masterbatch. Polyester fibers have a tendency to break during synthesis. During the nanofication process it needs to be precisely controlled or else it will clump up and the batch is ruined’. State-of-the-art technology requires high initial costs, but in order to create materials for beneficial health goods, it is a justifiable cost. Rainbow Inc. has mastered its nano platinum and nano diamond technology.
