(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
NEW YORK, May 29-Minerals Technologies Inc. (NYSE: MTX) announced today that is
has launched a new calcium carbonate product for reinforcement of plastic,
called VICRON® 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® FRP has been specifically designed with controlled particle size and
surface treatment to reduce resin demand and improve flow of plastic compounds.

finished thermoset part. Incorporating VICRON® FRP is a cost-effective solution
for reinforced plastic applications without sacrificing performance properties.
