Advanced Building Materials and Construction Innovations

Sustainability solutions in building materials

Discover our advanced building materials solutions and explore our innovative building materials technologies. Better building starts with formulation competence and chemistries that are designed to help advance the performance, durability and aesthetics of buildings and infrastructure. Learn how you can work with Dow to develop efficient and differentiated building materials and components.

Meet the industry’s ever-changing design trends and increasing performance demands for tile, flooring or industrial adhesives with good slip resistance, high water retention, improved wetting, long open time, strong adhesion, good peel adhesion, shear stability and more.

Increase durability and improve aesthetics in concrete materials with silicone- and acrylic-based chemistries.

Deliver superior adhesion, insulation properties, structural strength and fire performance for entry and garage doors with polyurethane foams.

Enable energy-efficient processing of tougher, more weatherable materials for decks, fences, railings, boardwalks, docks and more with plastic additives for polymer and composite materials.

Deliver industrial mats that are resilient, have excellent hot tensile and mechanical strength, have great paintability, reduce plant emissions and more with acrylic-based binders.
