23/11/2004 - LEXINGTON, Ky., USA
Plasticon International, Inc. (Nasdaq other: PLNI) announced today that on November 10, 2004, the Company successfully sampled the proprietary XyloX material in several of its rebar support molds. Plasticon previously announced on October 12, 2004 its intention to acquire XyloX of North America, Inc., a company that produces thermoplastic elastomers from crumb rubber and scrap plastic. This acquisition will enable Plasticon to develop new rubber/plastic composites using 100% recycled material.
"All rebar support strength exceeded our expectations with the use of this recycled resin," stated James Turek, President of Plasticon International.
"The further testing and evaluation of XyloX material for utilization in the production of plastic lumber, fencing and packaging will continue. If this testing meets or exceeds our requirements for these products, we will have a superior product with significant cost advantages.
"This anticipated additional revenue resulting from the savings realized from the use of this new material looks as if it will be substantial. We're looking for the XyloX acquisition to contribute positively to our bottom line and profits," Turek concluded.
