BENEFITS

HYPOD™ polyolefin dispersions put high molecular weight polyolefins into a water-based dispersion enabling you to create differentiated coatings or structures, eliminate solvent-related issues and lower system costs. HYPOD polyolefin dispersions are the first family of products enabled by BLUEWAVE™ Technology, which expands the world of water-based coatings.

PROVIDING A UNIQUE BALANCE OF PROPERTIES NOT POSSIBLE WITH TRADITIONAL DISPERSIONS

  • Soft touch
  • Adherence to polar and non-polar substrates
  • Range of hardness and melting points
  • High filler loading

DELIVERING POLYOLEFIN PERFORMANCE IN A WATER-BASED SYSTEM

  • Heat sealability
  • Moisture resistance/barrier
  • Elasticity
  • Low temperature flexibility
  • Chemical resistance
  • Potential for recyclability
  • Food contact compliance
  • Toughness
  • Anti-slip
  • Embossable
  • Potential for hypoallergenic properties

EXPANDING APPLICATION OPTIONS ON EXISTING WATER-BASED EQUIPMENT

  • Lowers system costs
  • Simplifies processing
  • Use with existing low-viscosity coating techniques
  • Adhesion to both polar and non-polar substrates
  • Adhesion to polyolefins, film-to-film, film-to-foil, film-to-paper
  • Achieve thinner coatings at higher line speeds
  • Coat at lower temperatures
  • Coat complex geometries
  • Penetrates porous substrates

ENABLING SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS

  • Accelerates switch from solvent-based dispersions to water-based
  • Enhances component recyclability
  • Emits low VOCs

EXPERTISE AND PARNERSHIPS BACKED BY DOW LEADERSHIP

  • Dow is backed by world-class expertise in polyolefins, dispersion applications and bringing new technologies to market
  • Uses standard low-viscosity application techniques, but allows for greater product differentiation and expansion into new markets
