Calcitech Launches Sustainable Product for Plastics Industry
 Geneva, Switzerland, November 11th 2009 - CalciTech Ltd. (OTCBB: CLKTF) CalciTech announces today the launch of a new product, CalciRC100STM , 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 CalciRC100STM's high purity
  • Higher gloss and toughness due to CalciRC100STM'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, CalciRC100STM 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 CalciRC100STM can be used with higher loading levels, less polymer resin is used.
