Bostik, the leading global adhesive specialist for industrial manufacturing, construction and consumer markets, has expanded its cementitious powder manufacturing capabilities with the recent opening of a new production plant near the Malaysian city of Johor Bahru. Located on the southern tip of the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, separated from Singapore by the Johor Strait, the plant is ideally located to service a fast-developing local construction market which includes the surrounding Iskandar Development Region and several large housing projects in the Johor Bahru region. Other developments in the area include the expansion of public housing programmes by Singapore’s Housing and Development Board (HDB).
With a 1500 sqm footprint, the plant has a capacity estimated at 14,000 metric tons per year.
The new facility will manufacture several types of products for the construction industry: cementitious tile adhesives (CTA) including classifications class C2S1, C2E and C1E, non-shrink grout and skim coat. These product groups are based on Bostik’s world-class Polymer Modified Binder (PMB) technology platform which remains a focus of its ongoing innovation, research and development activities. As a result of this expansion, well-known products such as Excel-Flex, Maxi-Flex, Super-Fixall and Ultra-Mastik will now be more readily available to building professionals in southern Malaysia and Singapore.
Bostik offers building professionals a comprehensive and innovative range of construction systems, from foundation to finish. Its constantly renewed and enhanced technologies deliver superior performance while meeting the latest local and international building codes and environmental, quality and performance standards.
