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.
