GENEVA, Switzerland, November 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
CalciTech Ltd. (OTCBB: CLKTF) CalciTech announces today the launch
of a new product, CalciRC100S(TM) , for use as a high performance
filler in plastics. This new product brings additional benefits
over conventional calcium carbonates. For example in PVC profiles,
trials with major producers have shown the following benefits: -
Improved profile whiteness and thermal stability due to
CalciRC100S(TM)'s high purity - Higher gloss and toughness due to
CalciRC100S(TM)'s narrow particle size distribution - Lower costs
due to higher loading factor, lower density and less thermal energy
required in extrusion - Consistent high quality due to CalciTech's
unique process which is independent of the raw material In addition
to these benefits, CalciRC100S(TM) offers a new way for plastic
producers to improve the sustainability of their products. -
CalciTech's novel process utilises waste lime and effluent carbon
dioxide to manufacture its Synthetic Calcium Carbonate (SCC). This
means that SCC production captures CO2 and does not rely on
unsustainable freshly mined materials. - Since CalciRC100S(TM) can
be used with higher loading levels, less polymer resin is used. The
directors of the company take responsibility for this announcement.
