carpetCarpet
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.
televisionTelevision
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.
paintPaint
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.
chairFurniture
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.
