Product Story – Did you know?
Did you know that Dow helps your garden grow?
In the Spring, most people start to plan a beautiful lawn and garden. Chemicals manufactured by Dow in Louisiana go into many consumer products such as fertilizers, lawn care treatments and insect control sprays sold at local retail, home improvement and lawn and garden stores. Dow plastics also help make water hoses, bed liners, gardening tools, flower pots and drainage pipes — all essential items for complete gardening success. Once those blooming flowers, fruits and vegetables start to grow, weather-resistant and durable lawn furniture made with Dow plastic can help gardeners sit back and enjoy their special setting.
Dow products go into hundreds of consumer goods we all use every day that make life easier and more enjoyable. For more information on products made by Dow in Louisiana, check out our web site.
