Looking for an elastomeric cool roof coating designed to reduce building cooling energy needs and prolong roof system life? Our portfolio of RHOPLEX™ Binders and PRIMAL™ Binders help reduce cooling energy needs by up to 20% and deliver long-lasting reflectivity for a durable roofing system.
Drymix Mortars
Want to reduce raw material resource consumption in mortar applications? Dry-mix additives enable up to 75% less sand and cement in thin-set mortar applications, reduce water consumption, and use up to 70% less raw materials by weight. Discover our WALOCEL™ Cellulose Ethers and DOW™ Latex Powders.
Tile Adhesives
Would you like to use less cement in your formulations without sacrificing end-product quality? Our innovative WALOCEL™ Cellulose Ethers and DOW™ Latex Powders additives help to maintain end-product performance in your formulations when less cement is used.
Fiber Cement
Looking to enhance the lifetime of your fiber cement without compromising on aesthetics? Discover our high-performance DOWSIL™ Silicone and PRIMAL™ Acrylic emulsions developed to extend the weatherability, aesthetic performance and service life of your fiber cement products.
Improving the energy efficiency of buildings
The energy efficiency of modern buildings helps to reduce CO2 emissions and improve living standards. The most significant factor contributing to this is the reduction of the energy used to control the internal temperatures of buildings.
A Cool Reflective Roof Coating reflects solar radiation, which helps to reduce ambient air temperature and save on energy costs for cooling. This technology is best suited for renovations and on non-insulated buildings such as warehouses and factories.
Circular economy in action
At Dow Construction Chemicals, we are continuously seeking better ways to make, use, and reuse materials to keep them out of the environment and retain their value.
