On November 15, the Dow Coating Materials Division of the Dow DuPont Materials Science Business Unit brought a full range of innovative solutions to the 2017 China International Coatings Show. The theme of this exhibition is "Dow of Innovation, We Make Coatings More Exciting", and introduce the audience to Dow's decades of innovation in coatings and its commitment to sustainable development. Visitors can experience Dow's diverse coating solutions at the Dow booth at Shanghai New International Expo Centre (Booth No .: W2 Hall B05-12).
As the concept of green development continues to gain popularity, consumer, market, and regulatory requirements for environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and safe products are increasing, and water-based and low-VOC coating solutions are becoming more and more popular. "As one of the industry's leading innovators, Dow uses the power of technology to enable coatings products to meet not only increasingly stringent sustainability standards, but also consumer expectations for coating quality and performance." Dow Coatings Asia Pacific District Business Director An Shichen said.
Innovative solutions that are both functional and sustainable
Dow presented a series of innovative solutions for construction and industrial applications at the show. Among them, the environmentally friendly architectural coating solutions on display include:
Bellemore ™ Acrylic Emulsion for Children's Lacquer is specially designed and developed for children's rooms. At the same time, it adopts Dow INVIZIPRO ™ patented technology and FORMASHIELD ™ patented technology. It has ultra-low VOC and odor, and fully meets high standards of environmental protection and health. INVIZIPRO ™ technology enables the paint film to have excellent stain resistance and super scrub resistance. It can easily remove a variety of stubborn stains and children's graffiti. It can meet the children's intense exploration and make the children's room beautiful and new. The patented FORMASHIELD ™ technology can effectively react with formaldehyde adsorbed on the surface of the paint film to generate water that is harmless to people and the environment, which helps improve indoor air quality.
Bailimo ™ self-matting finish varnish acrylic emulsion is an award-winning acrylic emulsion designed for high-quality interior and exterior wall coating systems, achieving lower gloss without the addition of matting powder, and has Good transparency and film consistency. The acrylic emulsion is applied to the self-matt finish varnish for external walls, which can significantly improve the durability of the coating, and minimize the problems of peeling, floating and blooming; it is used for the interior varnish for varnishes. Dirt resistance and scrub resistance, can easily remove a variety of stubborn stains and children's graffiti, make the paint lasting bright and new, and soft to the touch.
Belimo SR-01 Reflective Thermal Insulation Emulsion is a functional acrylic emulsion newly developed by Dow, which can significantly improve the reflective thermal insulation effect of low, medium and high brightness coatings, reduce building energy consumption, and reduce local building insulation. The thickness of the material used, thereby reducing costs. Its excellent stain resistance maintains a low rate of change in sunlight reflectance after pollution, and its excellent film-forming properties make the coating film excellent in flexibility.
In industrial coatings, Dow continues to bring more innovative product technologies in line with sustainable development trends, including:
PROSPERSE ™ 200 Hydroxy Acrylic Emulsion can be used to develop high-performance two-component waterborne polyurethane topcoats (reacting with waterborne isocyanate prepolymers) to achieve excellent hardness, scratch resistance, and chemical resistance.
MAINCOTE ™ HG-100 emulsion can be used for the development of economical one-component water-based metal anticorrosive paints, replacing solvent-based alkyd coatings, with good corrosion resistance, and excellent early water resistance and gloss display ability.
China's environmental protection coatings are developing rapidly and are catching up with the world. On this occasion, Dow set up a new high-tech material production plant in Meishan, Sichuan, which is expected to start production in the second quarter of 2018. "This investment further confirms Dow's firm commitment to the Chinese market and will greatly enhance our ability to serve the growing customer demand in the western region," An Shizhen added.
Broad product portfolio highlights integrated solutions
This exhibition is the first appearance in the coatings industry after Dow owns 100% of Dow Corning's silicone business. It showcases Dow and Dow Corning's core coating product lines and solutions, including a full range of Dow Corning silicone additives and resin solutions . The addition of Dow Corning's silicone business has enriched Dow's product portfolio, diversified its product offerings, broadened its range of services, and increased its global influence in the coatings industry. Dow Corning solutions exhibited this year include the latest Dow Corning® 210S additive, which not only improves the abrasion resistance and blocking resistance of waterborne wood coatings, but also reduces the probability of orange peel on the film.
Dow Industrial Solutions and Dow Microbial Control Technologies also demonstrated their breakthrough technologies and coating solutions at the Dow booth. Dow Industrial Solutions brings a series of environmentally-friendly, high-performance industrial and decorative coating solvents and auxiliary solutions, including surfactants such as ECOSURFTM, TERGITOLTM, and oxygen-containing solvents such as DOWANOLTM. Water-based environmental protection trends shared professional opinions. The Dow Microbial Control Technology brings a full range of anti-corrosion and dry film anti-mold solutions such as BIOBANTM, KATHONTM, ROCIMATM, etc., and accurately interprets domestic and foreign fungicide regulations for industry customers.
"The broad portfolio of technology-based products demonstrates Dow's unique ability to provide integrated solutions." An Shifang said: "Many newly developed green products appeared at the 2017 China International Coatings Show, once again confirming our commitment to innovation and sustainable development. committed to."
