Revolymer Ltd. announces results on its clean Chewing Gum with great taste and removability
Mostyn, Wales - September 14th, 2007 -
Revolymer Ltd announced today the completion of development of its new Clean Gum. The Clean Gum is an excellent chew with a long lasting flavour and a softer mouth feel. In field tests, the Clean Gum can be easily removed from shoes, clothes, pavements and hair; under the same conditions ordinary chewing gum is very difficult to remove. The Company has also completed initial street trials on pavements on local high streets as part of a collaborative agreement with Local Councils. In two town trials, leading commercial gums remained stuck to the pavements 3 out of 4 times. In all tests the Revolymer gum was removed within 24 hrs by natural events. The Company plans to launch its Clean Gum in 2008.
“Our initial research focused on the removability of our new Clean Gum from a variety of surfaces and we have shown that our technology has made a step change in Chewing Gum as a consumer product,” commented Professor Terence Cosgrove, Chief Scientific Officer of Revolymer. “The advantage of our Clean Gum is that it has a great taste, it is easy to remove and in preliminary results is environmentally degradable”.
Results of some of these trials can be seen on our web site www.revolymer.com.
“I am delighted with our progress. In eighteen months we have converted UK technology into a commercial product significantly changing the pollution issues facing chewing gum.” said Roger Pettman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Removable, degradable chewing gum is becoming a reality. We are planning our 2008 product launch.”
