With regards to question 16...

16) Why has nothing further has been mentioned about the Reckitt Beckinser, Reiser and Grampian trials? This gives the impression that these issues have now been quietly dropped.

We are expecting to do business with all of these companies. RB Electrosol Gel Packs and now Finish Quantum are using Stanelco technology on products which can be found in the High Street.


Presumably, this press release from Reckitt Benckiser implies SEO (Aquasol) involvment!

Launch of Finish Quantum A Breakthrough in Automatic Dishwashing


Reckitt Benckiser plc (RB.L) today announces the UK launch of Finish Quantum - a breakthrough in automatic dishwashing. Created from revolutionary design and intellectual property-protected technology, Finish Quantum is the first product to combine powder, gel and Powerball technology in one single dose, with the added benefit of no unwrapping.


This innovation is new and completely different to any other recent product changes, and signifies a step-change in product design, based on:

a water-soluble capsule containing three separate chambers
separately sealing highly effective and otherwise incompatible cleaning agents
releasing these agents at the right stage of the cleaning cycle to perform specific functions


Finish Quantum is also convenient for the consumer to use: there is no need to add salt or rinse aid, as this is included in the product; glass protection is also integrated; and now there is no longer a need to unwrap before using.


In consumer testing 7 out of 10 consumers said that they prefer Finish Quantum to their current product and 8 out of 10 said the product exceeded their expectations.


Finish Quantum is recommended by major dishwashing manufacturers including Bosch, Whirlpool and Electrolux. It is being launched in all major supermarkets across the UK, and is being progressively rolled-out to other markets in Europe in due course.


Commenting Bart Becht, Chief Executive Officer of Reckitt Benckiser said: -


Innovation is a cornerstone of our growth strategy with 40% of net revenues coming from products launched in the past 3 years, reflecting our passion for developing better solutions for our consumers. Finish Quantum is a breakthrough in automatic dishwashing products. As the global market leader in this high growth category, we have been responsible for the major innovations for consumers the first company to produce 2-layer tablets in dishwashing, and the 3in1 and the 4in1, adding the Powerball cleaning technology. Now, Finish Quantum offers consumers new levels of dishwasher performance combined with convenience. We believe it will help to build on our strong global leadership in this category.

No problem people,

It doesn't take long and with everyones input it makes sure i don't remember that "one question" right after i hit the send key!

I'd like to add a public thanks to Terry Robins for his answers. I gave him the site address so you never know, he might be interested on how the info was received.

It all sounds good to me and reiterates that we need to be patient. However i can rest easier now knowing a little more of whats going on behind the scenes.

My only problem is Bazza calling me a "she" on ADVFN. Wonder how i gave that impression? :o)

A little bit of my discussion with PM1 on the answers....

............................................................ ................................................

Well done, an excellent collection of questions and answers :)

Only a few skirted around, but some very positive insights gained there, especially where 'imminent' or 'in the near future' are in the answers !

I got the answers I had expected to my own questions, numbers 2,3,4,5 and I guess I suggested 6, backing up my own research efforts :)

Question 3 tells us that the Patent I found is indeed Oxygen Scavengers, and they have yet to be released, and in answering that question today and confirming it, I wonder if the announcement is soon, maybe even tomorrow ?

Starpol 3000 is seen as having a huge market benefit, we don't know what that huge 'market benefit' is (and I said the product announced at the show would be big !) so expect an announcement for that too.

In the USA, as I said they need full FDA approval, then it will pop because most USA packagers use PP with it's poor MAP gas barrier, and is getting darn expensive for all retailers that use it, as is APET !

FDA approval is stated as 120 days, but that is the limit, and another shareholder was told that the 120 days started 3 weeks ago, but fruit and veg was cleared in less than 2 weeks from the start date, so I suggest it is being speedily processed, as the environmental benefits are huge, plus Wal-Mart and maybe others might have requested priority status from the FDA, as it is otherwise holding up their take up of an environmentally friendly packaging.


Thanks again, and keep up the good work :)

Apologies if he's hi-jacking someones questions i can't remember who suggested what! ;o)

Thankyou Bema, someuwin and Terry.

Great news, lookin' good.

;-)

well dome bema. i think it's a very interesting set of replies. if you copy and paste them together the answers to the first few questions reads like an rns.

"Several members of Stanelcos management team were present at the Philadelphia conference, including the MD and Commercial director and myself. At the last moment we were given the opportunity to present a paper on Green Seal and Starpol 2000 material. The presentation was given by myself and was well received. We were also given the opportunity to set up a table top presentation of material at an evening reception where we showed Green Seal, Starpol material, Cradle wrap and other Stanelco products. A great deal of interest was shown with several leads to follow up.
Starpol is a range of materials, a new formulation Starpol 3000 is a bio-compostable material with many of the attributes of Starpol 2000 but has high clarity. This material is seen as having a huge market benefit.
O2 scavengers have yet to be released.
A number of potential customers in the USA require full FDA approval prior to adopting Starpol materials for food products. Initially we are targeting replacement of APET
In the USA most trays used are Polypropylene materials. Whilst in the UK they are PET, however PP does not have as good a gas barrier which makes Starpol 2000 a good alternative to move directly into a biodegradable option.
The material has been granted food approval for fruit and vegetables and in currently awaiting final approval for all other foods. This is a statutory 120 days time frame with has already started.
PLA is a component of Starpol 2000 material and we have secured an ample supply from Natureworks
Natureworks LLC, a Cargill company is a supplier of PLA to us. It is likely that there will be some joint promotion "

but i think the stand out phrase for me was this,

"The Mondini project is ongoing as is the building of a purpose built RF machine with Proseal and others companies which will be placed into factories imminently. "

sounds very nice.

US says down - chart says SE0 down - testing the bottom of the channel today ?

bos, let's face it - the thought of all that shiny new equipment humming in action just got you going, admit it - music to your ears.

Thanks Bema and others involved.

Apologies Bema - dont know where I picked up the "she" thing from. One of those things that stick in your mind from comments made - obviously got that wrong - no offence intended

TFC
It isn't Finish magnum, it is Finish Quantum. Reading the link from post 12234, it looks like they can use materials together, that they couldn't before, and time the release of each material, to avoid them mixing.
Not a dishwashing expert, so perhaps I am wrong, but have a look yourself!!
Alan

Are there any housewives out there who can answer that?

aldwickk: ask ii -he normally sounds like housewife ena sharples

The Finish Quantum product is clearly on the shelves currently, and has been in testing prior to this for some time. If Stanelco are receiving royalties per unit sold (or produced?), then this clearly adds to their income and therefore an RNS should have already been released by now?

I don't quite understand this... Is there anyone who does?

Also what is an RB Electrosol Gel Pack?

I am going shoping later and will look out for finish Quantum and report back

Lindos

Been out all day, so Thanks to Bema/Someuwin and others for excellent informative posts.

Carlosmac,

Re the lack of RNS for Reckitts, Finish Quantum, as Recketts have hundreds of products i would think due to SEO stateing that they would not release news for every deal, they were/are expecting more from Reckitts, ( this is just a guess for what its worth ). As to the Electrosol Gel Pack, its manufactured by two large companies that I know of , Proctor and Gamble, who's product contains a powder and a liquid whilst that produced by Reckitt Benckiser and marketed in Canada, is a water-soluble capsule enclosing liquid detergent. Can't find if Reckitts market this product in the UK yet. Hope this assists.
