DOW

  • Propylene Glycol

    Oily liquids with extremely low toxicity that are
    colorless, flavorless, odorless, and absorbent at room temperature.

    Propylene Glycol
    (Industrial Use, Food Additives)

    Applications

    • Moisturizing agents, lubricants, emulsifiers, antifreeze, cellophane, printer inks, intermediate raw materials, alkyd resins, solvents, cigarettes, cosmetics, pet food, etc.

    Dipropylene Glycol
    (Industrial Use, Low-Odor Grade)

    Applications

    • Intermediate materials for polyester resins, hydraulic fluid, antifreeze, cellophane, printer ink, cosmetics, fragrance solvents, toiletry solvents, etc.

    Characteristics

    • 1. Solvents that are very safe for human skin
    • 2. Excellent moisturizing properties
    • 3. Colorless and low odor so as not to affect the final product
    • 4. Excellent bacteriostatic properties

  • Urethane Materials

    Used in a variety of situations in our daily lives,
    as heat insulating materials, adhesives, paints, activators, resins,
    and more.

    Polyetherpolyol (Polynol)

    Applications

    • Polyurethane resin materials, paint materials, adhesive materials, surfactant materials, cosmetics, etc.

    Characteristics

    • A nonvolatile viscous liquid that is colorless or pale yellow. While substances with low molecular weight dissolve completely in water, those with high molecular weight are slightly soluble. Polyetherpolyol is characterized by greater oil solubility and lower absorbency than polyethylene glycol. Adjusting the functional groups or molecular weight can result in a variety of other special traits.

    MDI (Polymeric MDI)

    Applications

    • Hard and soft polyurethane foams, paints, adhesives, elastomers, etc.

    Characteristics

    • A dark reddish-brown liquid, also known as crude MDI

  • Glycol Ethers

    A wide range of potential applications
    as solvents, diluents, viscosity modifiers, etc.

    Propylene and Ethylene Glycol Ethers

    Applications

    • Paints, inks, metalworking fluids, cleaners, waxes, cleaners for electronic materials, etc.

    Characteristics

    • A fluid that has both the intramolecular lipophilicity (oil solubility) of an ethyl group and the hydrophilicity (water solubility) of a hydroxyl group.

  • Dispersants /
    Viscosity Modifiers /
    Clouding Agents

    Mainly used in the toiletry field

    Acusol ™

    Applications

    • Dispersants, viscosity modifiers, clouding agents
    • Laundry detergents, fabric softeners, dishwashing detergents, dispersants for domestic/industrial cleaners, etc.

    Characteristics

    • Dispersants: Can make laundry softer, keep it white, and provide a nice-looking finish
    • Viscosity modifiers: Can stabilize combined ingredients while also reducing cloudiness and distributing particles evenly
    • Clouding agents: Can give liquids a cloudy look, like body milks and lotions
