How to Buy Dow Consumer Solutions Products

We offer specific purchase options for each product package size. To see which options are available, first find a product of interest. Then check the buying options details, described below. No matter which option you choose, we’re available for service and technical support.

Direct Through Dow

Many customers prefer the local care and supply convenience of our managed network of authorized distributors. However, direct sourcing could be the right call when:

You already purchase directly from us
Your orders meet the minimum order requirements defined for direct purchase (differs by product)
You are satisfied with the transit times from our central warehouse (shorter lead times may be available via distribution)
You are satisfied with our standard payment terms (differs by geography)

Please note that applying for a new direct-buying account will take time to process and may still lead to an introduction to an authorized distributor. So if a quick purchase is a priority, we suggest first looking to an authorized distributor.

From an Authorized Distributor

For flexibility, local supply access, and personal support, most customers find it efficient to work with a local authorized distributor who is selected and trained to deliver best-in-class service. This is a great option if any of the following apply:

You need fast and easy access to small or modest volumes of Dow Consumer Solutions brand materials
You use distributors to aggregate purchases from other suppliers to streamline operations
You prefer the distributor’s local support and technical help, which may include product testing, formulation and application advice, flexible payment terms, customer labeling and expedited service

Authorized distributors vary depending on the product. To find a distributor please search for a product of interest and then choose “Buying Options”.
