DSM Desotech Begins Production at New UV-Cure Materials Plant
ELGIN, IL - DSM Desotech Inc. announced the start-up of operations at a new production facility for UV-cure coating materials and other specialty products in Stanley, NC. The new facility, which has absorbed the operations of the company's plant in Charlotte, NC, will produce fiber-optic coating materials and other specialty UV-cure materials including hardcoats, CD lacquers, DVD bonding adhesives, and rapid-prototyping resins.
DSM Desotech President Jan Paul de Vries said the production expansion reflects continued growth in the markets for UV-cure materials despite "current setbacks for the telecommunications industry." DSM Desotech is "staying focused on not only the long-term needs of the telecom market, but the growing demand for UV-curable materials in a variety of other industries," he said.
