DSM NEOCRYL PLANT WAALWIJK

[BIZ: Heerlen, September 21]
Royal DSM N.V. has decided to build a new factory for waterborne emulsion resins. This new plant will produce waterborne emulsions to be marketed by DSM NeoResins+. Production will come on stream at the end of 2008. The total investment costs amount to EUR 30m.

The new factory will be built at the existing DSM NeoResins+ production site in Waalwijk, the Netherlands, which is mainly used for the production of specialty products such as acrylic emulsions, acrylic beads and urethane resins.
DSM NeoResins+ is a leading global player in the waterborne emulsions market, focusing on high-performance products. In this product group DSM expects 7% growth worldwide for its waterborne emulsions in the coming years. The products are sold in the company’s key coating segments for joinery, decorative and industrial wood applications and for the graphic arts industry. Further and stronger growth is expected in the light of the new upcoming VOC regulations. DSM’s waterborne emulsions comply with all upcoming regulations and offer a good alternative to less environmentally friendly solvent-based resins while keeping high performance and durability standards.
