- ADCOTETM HP
Adhesives –ADCOTETM HP Adhesives are ortho-phthalate-free
lamination adhesives used in flexible food packaging,
pharmaceutical packaging and industrial laminations. They offer
enhanced production efficiency, reduced cost in use, improved
regulatory compliance and significantly lower environmental
emissions.
- BETASEAL™ 16709 Glass Bonding
Adhesive is the next generation glass bonding solution for
global automotive OEMs. BETASEAL 16709 is a Dow breakthrough
technology that can meet the challenging safety and performance
requirements of customers in emerging markets. It is a high
performance primerless-to-paint silanated urethane adhesive with
great stability and is used for the structural bonding and sealing
of stationary vehicle glass, including panoramic roofs and lift
gates, windshields, backlites, quarter glass, glass hardware, door
glass, and mixed-material bonding.
- Dow ComfortScience VORAZzz™
Foam helps foam producers and brand owners deliver the
coolest sleep to consumers by enabling 0.2 second moisture-wicking
capabilities – 7 times the standard for viscoelastic foams – and
increasing airflow to 8-9 ft.3/min, a step change away from other
"high-airflow" foams which only achieve 3-3.5 ft.3/min.
- Dow Corning® FA 4103 Silicone
Acrylate Emulsion offers longer-lasting performance in sun
protection, skin care products and color cosmetics, while making
them more comfortable to wear. This new water-based film former
enables long-wear performance in water-rich products with benefits
such as sebum and water resistance, excellent film integrity and
flexibility, and rub-off resistance.
- Dow Corning® LF-1112 phosphor
film binder is a heat curable optical grade silicone resin,
delivering step-change photo-thermal stability to high power
chip-scale packaging LEDs. Incorporation of luminescent phosphor
particles gives films with uniform color control that are
conformally laminated to LED chip tiles to enhance
productivity.
- Dow Corning® TC-2022
Thermally Conductive Adhesive is a one-part thermally
conductive heat cure adhesive for demanding assembly of components
in transportation such as engine control units, power control
units, transmission control units and sensors that require not only
adhesive materials for their assembly but also heat
dissipation.
- Dow Corning® VE-6001 UV
Optical Bonding Adhesive is a one-part UV-curable, optically
clear silicone adhesive that reliably bonds a variety of cover
window materials used in automotive LCD display modules. It
combines higher thermal stability, superior mechanical properties
and greater optical performance to enhance the reliability and
performance of automotive displays.
- Dow Corning® WR-3001 Die Edge
Coat is a highly reflective silicone coating targeting
high-power CSP applications that demand LED materials with high
thermal- and photostability. It is compatible with conventional
dispensing processes.
- Dow DurableScience HYPOL™ JM 5012
Binder, a hydrophilic MDI binder, provides the market with a
more sustainable, safe chemistry that mirrors the reactivity and
functionality of incumbent hydrophilic TDI binders, allowing for
minor impacts to manufacturing processes. Through this innovation,
binder needs are reduced up to 20 percent, hydrophilicity and
strength are increased, and porosity is maintained, providing cost
savings and best-in-class plant growth performance to the
horticulture and agriculture markets.
- DOWSIL™ EasyRinse is a
silicone-based foam control agent incorporating a surfactant level
activation trigger that reduces water use in hand clothes washing.
The trigger preserves the level of foam in the washing stage but
activates on first rinse, dissipating foam at a much earlier stage
in the rinse cycle. When foaming stops, rinsing stops. 25-50
percent less potable water is required by changing the visual cues
that signal the end of rinsing.
- ECOGROUND™ Waterborne Acrylic Binder
System fully replaces polyurethane adhesives for making
rubberized running surfaces for track and field, playgrounds and
walkways for schools, public institutions, athletic and
recreational facilities. ECOGROUND™ is a novel low odor, low VOC
solution that does not contain free TDI/MDI. ECOGROUND™ provides an
improved environmentally friendly and higher-performing alternative
to solvent-based systems.
- FASTRACK™ 5408 Resin is the next
generation all-acrylic binder for waterborne pavement markings,
offering improved durability for year-round visibility, and
extended seasonal application without compromising dry-time.
- Fluidized Catalytic Dehydrogenation
(FCDh) technology selectively produces targeted olefins from
abundant shale gas resources while enabling greater than 20 percent
capital savings versus other commercial processes and reducing
energy requirements per pound of olefin produced. The patented
technology easily integrates into existing or new production
processes for propylene, ethylene and other valuable hydrocarbon
intermediates.
- Fusion™ Flexible Intermediate Bulk
Containers – Dow and NexGen, LLC developed Fusion™ Flexible
Intermediate Bulk Containers to revolutionize the bulk bag industry
using an automated Fusion™ heat sealing process to eliminate the
standard hand-sewn bag construction, providing improved
functionality and increased sustainability.
- INNATE™ Precision Packaging
Resins are a family of linear low density polyethylene polymers
that deliver game changing toughness to the flexible packaging
market. This technology enables the design of lower cost, tougher
packages which are more sustainable and outperform incumbent
solutions.
- LEUKOTAN™ A-1942 Tanning Agent
facilitates the production of chrome-free leather by improving the
efficiency of the entire retanning system. The technology offers a
combination of cost savings and environmental benefits, including
improved articles and reduced waste in discharge water by up to 75
percent.
- ROPAQUE™ NT-2900 Opaque Polymer
for BLUE 4EST™ Thermal Paper replaces conventional thermal paper,
eliminating chemical developers and removing chemicals of concern
from production. The new paper uses engineered reflective polymer
spheres that collapse when heated by the thermal print head
allowing underlying color to show. The paper is compatible with
existing equipment and, as an added bonus, creates images that do
not fade with time.
- Rotomolding Resin Solutions with
Soft Touch Technology – Dow’s next generation of rotational
molding resins deliver exceptional performance, processing, and
sustainability along with differentiated solutions that include
proprietary soft-touch technology.
- Syl-Off® EM 7978 Coating
is an emulsion-based silicone release coating for bakery and food
release applications. A release coating for non-stick packaging,
Syl-Off® EM 7978 Coating technology enables release paper
manufacturers to address several global trends, including growth in
the fast food market, cost efficiencies, processing improvements,
and sustainability initiatives.
- SYMBIEX™ Solventless Adhesives
are ultra-fast-curing adhesives used to make laminated films for
packaging. Used in conjunction with the innovative Duplex 1 Shot™
lamination line from Nordmeccanica, these adhesives cut
manufacturing and production time, shortening time-to-market,
boosting production speeds and cutting costs.
