Dow polymer modification and recycling solutions

Dow's FUSABOND™ Coupling Agent can improve the interfacial compatibility between recycled high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) with wood flour, enabling the use of recycled plastics in WPC.

FUSABOND™ compatibilizer helps double the recycling rate of waste sachets to 40% in compound formulation and further improves the end product's tensile elongation and impact performance. In 2021, Dow delivered hundreds of upcycled chairs made with FUSABOND™ to nine schools in the Philippines.

Our portfolio of readily recyclable, olefin-based solutions for carpet backings can help you develop carpeting that are phthalate-free, polyvinyl chloride (PVC)-free, bitumen-free and styrene-free. In addition, polyolefin elastomers (POEs) and olefin block copolymers (OBCs) can help reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) levels and are well suited to meet a variety of global sustainability standards and certifications.
