Coatex has investment in a new HEUR (hydrophobically-modified ethylene oxide-based urethane) production line in the USA to strengthen its presence in the water-based polyurethane thickeners market.
The investment contributes to Coatex’s ongoing commitment to bring new solutions and capabilities in support of customers in the adhesives and coatings markets. The construction of this new production line in the USA coincides with the launch of new HEUR products and will ensure Coatex’s ability to meet growing demand for HEUR rheology modifiers.
