Carpet
Have you ever spilled a glass of juice on a carpeted floor? Yikes! We know that
accidents happen, and that’s why our polyurethanes are used in carpet backing.
Polyurethanes made by Dow prevent liquids from soaking through carpet, while
keeping the carpet breathable (so spills can dry) and flexible over a long period
of time. |

Television
Dow’s polystyrene resins are used to make the outside of television sets
lighter so they’re easier to move. They also make television sets more
attractive and durable to help them last a long time. |

Paint
Methylcellulose ethers are used to make wall paints thicker, so they are easier to spread. This helps painting projects to be less messy and easier to clean up, too. |

Furniture
Dow’s polyurethanes are used in furniture cushions to make your couches and chairs more comfortable. Polyurethanes also make cushions more impact-resistant, so they keep their shape for a longer period of time even if you sit on them over and over again. |
