CalciTech Files New Patent
CalciTech announces today that CalciTech Synthetic Minerals Ltd, it’s wholly
owned subsidiary, has filed an application for a new patent at the UK Patent
Office. In due course equivalent applications will be filed claiming the
benefit of the UK filing date to obtain patent coverage in all major markets.
When granted, this patent will extend the patent protection of
CalciTech’s process and product in terms of lifetime and coverage.
This new patent will protect the processes to be used by CalciTech to
produce a Synthetic Calcium Carbonate (“SCC”) with exceptional features
including, but not limited to, a unique morphology (rice grain shape), a very
narrow particle size distribution and exceptional purity, which itself gives
very high brightness. Typically, CalciTech produce particles in the
sub-micron range which satisfies the large majority of potential
applications, as demonstrated by extensive trials with future customers.
However, CalciTech can use the same process to produce other particle sizes
in the nano and micron range. This wide range of capability opens up new
applications in growing markets.
processes that have now been patented, commented: “We have invested
considerable time and energy to develop these processes both at a laboratory
scale and then in the pilot plant. It is very satisfying for those who have
worked with me on this development that our efforts have been rewarded by the
filing of a patent.”
The directors of the company take responsibility for this announcement.
