A new production line at Songwon’s site in Suwon, South Korea for the manufacture and distillation of SONGSORB® CS 400 UV stabilizer has become operational.

SONGSORB® CS 400 is a liquid hydroxyphenyl triazine (HPT) UV absorber designed to ensure high performance and durability in water- and solvent-borne as well as 100 percent solid automotive and industrial finishes. It has very high thermal stability and outstanding resistance in coatings exposed to high bake cycles and/or extreme external conditions. It is suitable for use in amine and metal catalyzed coatings, substrates containing such catalysts and coatings applied on topcoats.

As part of its expansion strategy, Songwon is using its experience to further develop the technologies it offers and strengthen its focus on specialty chemicals for coatings, inks and adhesives, amongst other applications. Backward integration of raw materials helps to ensure that Songwon's finished products are readily available and of a consistently high quality.
