(ĐN)- Rohm and Haas, the leading producer of specialty materials recently began construction of its new manufacturing facility in Nhon Trach 3 Industrial Park, Dong Nai province. The new plant will produce polymer emulsions for Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries including paint and coatings materials, and adhesives. The 40,000 square meter polymer emulsion plant, a first of its kind in Vietnam, will require an initial investment of some US$25 million and it is expected to be operational in September 2011.

The new plant will have an initial capacity of 27,000 metric tons per annum, with a planned expansion to 60,000 metric tons per annum to meet rapidly growing demand for polymer emulsions.

Emulsion polymer products (latexes) are used in interior and exterior architectural coatings, elastomeric roof and wall coatings, traffic marking paints; sealant and construction products, and pressure-sensitive adhesives for tapes and labels.
