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 (News - Alert)® 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 (News - Alert) 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 (News - Alert)
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

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.
