NEW YORK, May 30, 2013 - (ACN Newswire) - Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) announced today that it has launched a new calcium carbonate product for reinforcement of plastic, called VICRON(R) FRP, in such applications as Sheet Molding Compound (SMC), Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) and thermoset polyesters. The product was developed by Specialty Minerals Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Minerals Technologies that is a leader in mineral additives.
VICRON(R) FRP has been specifically designed with controlled particle size and surface treatment to reduce resin demand and improve flow of plastic compounds. VICRON(R) FRP reduces the viscosity of thermoset compounds to improve the productivity and quality by providing a better mold-cavity fill at a faster rate.
Reinforcement with VICRON(R) FRP provides excellent mechanical properties of the finished thermoset part. Incorporating VICRON(R) FRP is a cost-effective solution for reinforced plastic applications without sacrificing performance properties.
Minerals Technologies Inc. is a resource- and technology-based growth company that develops, produces and markets worldwide a broad range of specialty mineral, mineral-based and synthetic mineral products and related systems and services. The company recorded sales of $1.01 billion in 2012.
