The manufacturing facility in Taiwan will allow Evonik to meet the rising demand for precipitated matting agents in Asia.

The Coating Additives business line of Evonik has recently announced that it is planning to expand its production capacity for the ACEMATT® precipitated matting agents.

The new manufacturing facility, located in Taiwan, is scheduled to be completed by the second half of 2023 and will help the company to meet the rising demand for matting agents in Asia. The products will have the same properties as the ones currently manufactured at Evonik’s production site in Bonn (Germany).

“The capacity expansion of our leading matting agents in Taiwan further emphasizes our commitment to the growing markets in Asia and to all our regional and multi-national customers. We are continuously expanding our position as a truly global partner for our coatings customers by offering the same high-quality products from manufacturing locations in multiple regions. In times of rising logistical challenges, such an investment will also directly benefit our partners and customers across the globe by further improving our supply situation worldwide,” has stated Maximilian Morin, Head of Industrial & Transportation Coatings.

The ACEMATT portfolio includes several products that combine effectiveness for matting properties and easy integration into the coating system and its various industrial and transportation application areas range from textile to plastic, leather can and coil coatings. In addition, it allows formulators to reach the full spectrum of matting levels – from semigloss to ultra-deep matt.
