Building, Construction and Infrastructure

Design Freedom

Building for the future

By collaborating with architects, engineers, building designers, contractors and material manufacturers, we are developing an array of chemistries, formulations and materials. These technologies enhance performance, durability, aesthetics and sustainability across the entire built environment. From roads to roofs, from homes to high-rises, we offer solutions that reduce waste, improve efficiency and ultimately achieve the goal of development that is as environmentally friendly as it is visually appealing and structurally and functionally robust.

Proven silicones that enable durable and high-performing designs through a vast offering of sealants and coatings for structural glazing, weatherproofing, window and door, insulating glass and infrastructure
Polyurethane systems that deliver high-performance coating, adhesive, sealant and insulation solutions across a wide range of applications
Acrylic binders and additives that offer durability in applications ranging from dispersion-based renders to cool roof coatings to cementitious waterproofing membranes
Cellulosic technology that enhances workability, adhesion, and water retention in cement-based tile adhesives, self-leveling flooring and other applications

Enabling many of the world’s tallest buildings
Of the world’s tallest buildings, the large majority contain Dow silicones
improving energy efficiency, design freedom, occupant comfort and more.
