Following the appointment of Francois Roux Roux , Pierre Paul Émile 1853-1933. French bacteriologist. His work with the diphtheria bacillus led to the development of antitoxins to neutralize pathogenic toxins. as its Product Development Director in April of this year, and of Jean-Claude Masson, Marketing Manager for non-paper applications in August, CalciTech has worked with several industrial partners in various sectors on the development and marketing of its SCC-related products for non-paper applications. With its unique and patented technology, CalciTech is able to tailor-make superior products for specific industry applications. In October of this year, CalciTech announced its first non-paper product, CalciSP(TM), which is aimed at the food, pharma and cosmetics sectors. An independent analysis, carried out by the Geneva Geneva, canton and city, Switzerland Geneva (jənē`və), Fr.

Exposure to these metals has been linked to immune, kidney, and neurotic disorders. content, well below values reached by other products on the market, and well below regulatory limits, a major factor in these industries. Furthermore, CalciSP(TM) has similar rheological rhe·ol·o·gy n.

The Company can now disclose that the industry's response to the announcement of its new product has been extremely positive on a global basis. CalciTech is currently assessing the different opportunities for the distribution of CalciSP(TM) in the various markets that have shown interest, once the Company has built up its production capacity. Further product development and market research have earmarked various sectors with significant prospects for the sale of SCC-related products. Several producers of printing inks, a highly technical product, have trialled SCC SCC - strongly connected component in the manufacture and use of their products, and have indicated commercial interest for the Company's products. An extensive testing programme conducted by a technical group specialised in plastics, has shown that SCC can significantly enhance certain characteristics of the finished product, especially in the strength area. One important parameter in the plastics industry also concerns rheological properties. It has been proven in the paper industry that CalciTech's SCC has unique properties in this respect, and the Company anticipates similar results in various plastics trials currently underway, which are expected to be reported to be spoken of; to be mentioned, whether favorably or unfavorably.

Francois Roux, CalciTech's Product Development Director, stated, "Our strategy to closely co-operate with potential customers continues to determine market opportunity. Our diversification programme to date has shown, as we expected, that our SCC is a unique product that can contribute to significant improvements in the properties of finished products that contain calcium carbonate calcium carbonate, CaCO3, white chemical compound that is the most common nonsiliceous mineral. It occurs in two crystal forms: calcite, which is hexagonal, and aragonite, which is rhombohedral. . We are actively discussing applications for SCC with several partners in various industry sectors, who have recognised that SCC is a very versatile and superior product. We are confident that we will be able to launch further products with a significant competitive edge over currently used calcium carbonates, and we anticipate making further announcements in the coming months."
