DSM NeoResins+ completes new factory for waterborne alkyd resins in Hoek van Holland
DSM NeoResins+ has successfully completed the new water-based alkyd manufacturing unit at its existing site located in Hoek van Holland (the Netherlands). The new line will manufacture specialty water-based alkyd resins which will find their way to the markets for high-end decorative professional and DIY trim paints, stains and metal coatings. Being an important part of the broad water-based technology portfolio of DSM NeoResins+, the water-based alkyd resin family will grow substantially in the coming years as these resins (alone or in combination with acrylate emulsions and/or water based polyurethanes) are an excellent waterborne alternative to solvent-based coating systems, according to the company.
"The new unit is one of the key building blocks in our turnaround towards a leading specialty resin manufacturer. Combined with the on schedule closure of our Landskrona site in Sweden, where mainly long-oil alkyds were manufactured, we are on track with our transformation to a more eco-friendly product portfolio," says Dimitri de Vreeze, Business Unit Director of DSM NeoResins+.
