DSM Introduces Resin Solution for Wall Paints in High-Humidity Areas
Royal DSM, a global science company in nutrition, health and sustainable living, has announced the introduction of NeoCryl® HP-4000, a new resin to the EMEA market designed to enhance the performance of wall paints in highly humid areas. NeoCryl® HP-4000 raises the bar for aesthetic and functional performance, workability and sustainability thanks to excellent water vapour permeability and superior water resistance properties, as well as low volatile organic compound (VOC) content.
With rising living standards globally, consumers are seeking decorative coatings with higher performance than ever before. In particular, as consumer behaviour underscores, there is growing demand to address humidity-related issues. However, currently available commercial solutions often deliver poor functional performance and low resistance to moisture and staining. To address these challenges, DSM drew on years of experience in innovative resin technology for the decorative EMEA market to develop NeoCryl® HP-4000.
