The new facility will focus on producing high-performance polyurethane dispersions, which offer a range of beneficial properties critical for various industries. These advanced PUDs provide exceptional fastness, water resistance, print retention, and high flex durability, making them ideal for use in demanding applications.
PUD technology plays a key role in reducing solvent usage, making it an important component of Stahl’s broader sustainability strategy. By producing more water-based coatings, Stahl reduces the environmental impact of its operations, supporting the transition to more sustainable materials across industries. The Singapore facility will further explore renewable energy and bio-based formulations, advancing the company’s ESG goals and paving the way for future innovations.
Dennis Koh, Site and Operations Manager at Stahl Singapore, expressed the significance of this new development: “The new facility for PUD manufacturing in Stahl Singapore is designed to serve the Asian and South Pacific markets, spanning from China and Japan to New Zealand. This expansion supports our ESG goals by increasing the production of water-based coatings and decreasing solvent usage. With this new development, we can simplify our supply chain and shorten lead times for our customers. We are proud to include PUD in our service offerings, enhancing our technical capabilities to collaborate on challenging projects. I am extremely proud of my team who worked closely with the main contractor, Essential Engineering & Construction, to successfully complete this project in 18 months.”
