In addition, this plant will also support the production requirements of other branches where necessary.

From a humble beginning of producing stearic acid using the hydrogenation process, the company has moved downstream and now specializes in manufacturing derivatives of non-toxic fatty acids as Metal Stearates, Laurates and Esters. Metal Stearates are important additives used as acid receptors and lubricants in manufacturing of polymer manufacturer – especially producers of polyolefins (PE – PP), polystyrene, polycarbonate, PVC processors and ABS. Other uses of metal stearates include pharmaceutical industry (for the production of tablets), rubber and latex processing (as anti-blocking agent), construction industry (as a hydrophobic agent in mortars and plasters), cosmetic industry and more. The most important use of fatty esters is in the food industry as emulsifiers and flavoring agents.

The current investment in Singapore Jurong Island Plant had reached S$35 (US$ 25) million with a production capacity of 50,000 tons. Employing the most advance methods of production, the 18,000 sqm state-of-art production facility in Singapore adheres to the stringent food safety and quality control procedures. The plant uses vegetable based stearic acid as the starting raw material. This commodity is widely available from the neighboring country of Malaysia and Indonesia.

With this new plant Faci is expanding its manufacturing capability to one of the most fast growing regions. Other Faci plants producing metal stearates are at its headquarters in Italy (Faci SpA), in Spain (Productos Metalest), in UK (Faci SpA UK branch) and in China (Faci China), where more products are manufactured, mainly fatty acid derivatives such as esters, epoxy products, paint dryers.
