WILMINGTON, Del., Feb.
9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- MSM POLY LLC announces that the
leading Northern California
polymer research laboratory, Bay Materials of Fremont California, has analyzed its Anobex™
brand acrylonitrile methyl acrylate copolymer (AMAC) and made the
following observation:
"In our opinion, AMAC (acrylonitrile methyl acrylate copolymer
latex resin) and Barex® 210 are indistinguishable, exhibiting
similar melt flow (viscosity) properties, and strength &
toughness at room temperature."
Additional testing such as FTIR and IZOD have also demonstrated
equivalence to the legacy product and test results verified by
independent third party experts. Bay Materials also observed that
the color of the MSM POLY sample was more transparent than the
standard sample.
With laboratory sample equivalence demonstrations complete, MSM
POLY has now begun production of pilot plant quantities for low
volume testing by the three largest global users of the legacy AMAC
material. MSM POLY expects that their confirmation of equivalence
will be complete by May 2016, and at
that time MSM POLY will begin production of low volume (~ metric
ton) quantities of Anobex™ for initial commercial trials with
convertors and end users. Between July and October 2016 MSM POLY will scale up to full
commercial production of Anobex™ with the capacity to supply the
existing market by the beginning of 2017.
MSM POLY is building redundancy into its production supply chain
from day one with multiple sites capable of providing the key steps
in the manufacturing process so the convertor and end user customer
will always have assurance of supply.
