[Patents] MDOR has been granted, for the life of the patents, the exclusive license by Professor Dr. Ing. Gunter Mennig, Dr. Michael, and Dr. Scholz (lecturers at The University of Chemnitz), for the family of patents which define the method by which rubber powder can be bonded with thermoplastic materials to create an elastomer that is subsequently used to create TPE like products. The company also has lifetime use of the patent relating to the re-composition of rubber powder. It will also receive future license rights for processing rubber into a powder with a particulate size less than 50 microns, as well as, a new liquefaction process now under development.
These patented processes allow MDOR to produce high quality materials in industrial quantities, unlike any other competitor or supplier worldwide and generate immediate business.

To stay ahead of the competition is to be the competition. In Quebec we have the best R&D programs and incentives in America. That’s why you see a lot of pharmaceutical companies establishing their activities here in the eastern townships.
Magnum will make no exception to this. We discovered during our business planning that a few companies offer coloured nuggets and buffings but seldom will you see variation of the same colour. The client has to buy what the supplier offers. No way will Magnum follow the rules. This is why an R&D project will take place even at the start up stage of the business. Magnum will work with a well-known company who specializes in pigments for mulch. Colored mulch has become very popular for both artistic landscaping and practical gardening. So our goal is to develop a multitude of rubber mulch colours to satisfy a client asking a coloured mulch which matches his house brick, is house vinyl, his landscaping, etc, etc.
Continuing Research and Development
Since TPE compounds vary in properties and characteristics; manufactured rubber powder mixed with TPEs produce a compound that mimic other non-recyclable compounds. In order to ensure that the produced compounds meet the exact specifications of the TPE product that is being replaced, a precise recipe for the formulation of the compound must be created. Thus, MDOR will continue developing new compounds, file new patents, and produce products for the rubber powder it manufactures. At this time applications outnumber the amount of available raw material to produce them, thus creating a considerable supply gap for the powder. And the Quebec province has the best R&D program and incentive in America.
