such as UV cured coatings, synthetic lubricants,
high solids alkyd coatings,

the increased customer demand of Di-Penta
and the performance it offers.

which now has resulted in
a capacity increase and a fully available product.

for Perstorp Di-Penta now and in the future
also includes a number of innovation projects
focused on application development
for complementary solutions.
