DSM completes new factory for waterborne resins in Meppen, Germany
Advertisement
Royal DSM N.V. announced that the DSM NeoResins+ expansion in Meppen, Germany, has been completed successfully. The new manufacturing unit will, amongst other things, manufacture specialty polyurethane dispersions that will find its way in high-end decorative professional and DIY trim paints, metal- and plastic coatings and parquet lacquers. Specialty urethane dispersions are experiencing high market growth, as these resins are a waterborne alternative to solvent-based coating systems and outperform the traditional systems in terms of performance and durability. In addition, these water-based dispersions do not require volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have negative effects on the environment. Therefore, the dispersions offer an excellent alternative to achieve the VOC reduction targets that are necessary to comply with new legislation to be introduced in 2010.
