DSM opens new plant for PA

On June 22, DSM has inaugurated its new Stanyl ForTii Production Unit. As announced in May 2009, the new facility has quadrupled production capacity for Stanyl ForTii in order to meet market demand for this new polymer, which is used in electronics and other applications.
This new Stanyl ForTii production facility in the Netherlands will enable DSM to meet further growth in customer demand for the product, which can be found in mobile phones and other electronic applications such as circuit boards used in personal computers.
Stanyl ForTii is a halogen-free, flame-retarded, high-temperature polyamide. It extends the application range of current Stanyl products to achieve a higher performance in the applications. It supports lead-free soldering and is suitable for even the most demanding surface mount technology applications in electronics.
