Magnum/SRI Revolutionary Custom Compound in Light Truck Tires Ready for Impending RRI On-Road Trials

Mon Oct 12, 7:00 AM

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Magnum D'Or Resources, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: MDOR.OB), a next generation rubber recycling Solutions Company, announces On-Road Trials with the World Renowned "Malaysia Rubber Research Institute" facility in Sungai Buloh http://www.lgm.gov.my/.

Having successfully produced light truck tires using Magnum/SRI Revolutionary custom compound as a 20% component in the production compound, the resultant manufactured tires were submitted to the Rubber Research Institute's (RRI), Malaysian Rubber Board, Tire Lab for testing along with the original tires. The preliminary tests including abrasion resistance were passed with flying colours achieving results within the pre-specified parameters and near identical to the original (OEM) tires. Magnum/SRI is thrilled to announce once again that this is a major Breakthrough and a World's First for the Global Rubber Market. Furthermore the tires were then further tested for in-lab continuous destructive testing which is still ongoing.

The tires are also being tested for performance in actual Road Performance performed by the Rubber Research Institute (RRI) Tire Lab where our Light Truck (3Metric Tonne cap) is installed with both original control tires along with the Magnum/SRI tires. Measurements are taken by the RRI test lab personnel and then the Truck is run on normal roads with a standard load and brought back for further measurements following a fixed protocol schedule based on distance travelled on the certified odometer. The measurements including abrasion / wear resistance among other parameters will be carefully tabulated throughout the life of the tires (30,000km), the tires changed out and the process repeated several times. These trials commence as soon as the registration and inspection of the truck is completed which is expected later this week.

Generally this on the road test is usually carried out on tires that have been retreaded and rarely carried out on original OEM tires as they have established performance and their compound specs do not vary a great deal. In this case the Magnum/SRI Revolutionary Custom Compound is being evaluated in premium compound applications against premium original manufactured light truck tires (unheard of until now). Several firsts for the worldwide rubber industry right off the bat and Magnum/SRI is happy to state, "they have achieved the unachievable."

Once the destructive tests have been completed and the on-road trials carried out by the RRI Test Lab has run for some time, we will be starting independent evaluation of Magnum/SRI custom compounds by the RRI in several value added applications. The independent evaluation by the RRI will provide substantial credibility in the industry and will be further supported by carrying out similar independent trials at the Tun Abdul Razak Research Centre http://www.tarrc.co.uk/ (Tarrc) in the United Kingdom while they also run their special Trailer trials on retreaded heavy trailer tires, operated on roads under controlled and a wide variety of wet and dry conditions.

As we develop our range of Magnum/SRI Revolutionary custom compounds we will be able to improve their performance in each of the major application categories towards establishing its position as an accepted industrial raw material.
