Paint solutions based on plant-based Decovery resins can enable a 34% carbon footprint reduction compared to conventional alternatives, as well as containing zero-to-low levels of VOCs.

Liu Zhanchuan, CEO of Chenyang Group, said, “DSM and Chenyang share a strong vision of what the coatings industry should look like and how we can enable this transformation. As such, we’re very pleased to step up our collaboration with DSM – a partner with a demonstrated history of delivering highly sustainable innovations, such as the Decovery family of resins. At Chenyang, we’re convinced that plant-based paints can help ensure the healthiest air for our children, while also helping to protect our wider environment.”

Martin Vlak, Managing Director Specialty Resins, DSM Resins & Functional Materials, said, “As one of the earliest paint producers of waterborne coatings in China, Chenyang is a pioneer of environmentally friendly coating solutions. At DSM, we value Chenyang’s technical expertise, local market insights, and ambition to create a better world; we’re excited for the next phase of our collaboration. Together, we can help shape the fast-growing Chinese market, drive the adoption of more sustainable coatings technology, and deliver on DSM’s promise of creating brighter lives for all.”
