Magna disrupts paper industry with 'mineral stone paper'
Local chemical research & development startup is looking into nano-technology and bio-based technology.
FOR most of us, paper comes from trees. But for chemical research and development firm Magna International, paper can also be a combination of natural chemical compounds.
Known officially as the Vappro 830 Vapor Corrosion Inhibiting (VCI) Mineral Stone Paper, the paper is made of chemicals such as calcium carbonate and silica powder, materials that are in abundance in the natural environment.
Though stone paper is nothing new, Magna's innovation takes the paper a level higher. The infusion of vapor corrosion-inhibiting chemicals increases the paper's durability and shelf life, ultimately saving the environment.
