Product solutions
AXELERON™ FO 6548 BK Telecom Cable Compound
A MDPE cable jacket compound delivering superior stress-crack, deformation, weather resistance and toughness, and extrusion processing for fiber optic cable.
DOW™ DFDA-3642 NT LLDPE Resin for LV Insulation
Hexene-copolymer LLDPE designed for low voltage cable applications. It is intended for use in a one-step (monosil®) or two-step (Sioplas®) process in unfilled or filled (such as HFFR) systems.
DOW™ HDPE DGDA-2426 NT Bimodal Polyethylene Resin
A high-density polyethylene resin material available in North America for profile extrusion and use as a processing aid.
DOW™ TCP-2495 NT High Density Polyethylene Resin
This is produced using UNIPOL™ process technology and is specifically designed for use in all duct and cable in conduit (CIC) applications for both telecommunications and power cables.
ENDURANCE™ HFDK-4201 SC Compound for Cable Systems
Long-life, unfilled, crosslinkable, low density, super clean polyethylene insulation compound developed especially for the insulation of high voltage power cables.
EVOQUE™ 2360 DS Polymer
Paints containing this product can be formulated with less TiO2 and maintain very good hiding. This leads to cost savings and possibly, an improved sustainability profile via lower resource use and lower carbon emissions in the lifecycle of paints.
ROPAQUE™ ULTRA E SLF Opaque Polymer
One of the most advanced polymeric opacifiers engineered to improve the efficiency of TiO2. It helps lower the consumption of TiO2, reduce the cost of all types of water-borne paints and improve paint performance.
TUFLIN™ HS-7098F NT 7 Linear Low Density Polyethylene Resin
An ethylene-hexene copolymer, linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin designed for cast and blown film applications such as trash bags, industrial can liners, and retail bags.
WALOCEL™ M 120-01 Cellulose Ether
A modified hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose (HEMC) developed for cement-based applications, like cement-based tile adhesives. It imparts adhesion, shear strength, good workability, open time, and enhances water retention.
XUS 81841.27 Experimental Polyethylene Resin
A cast film polyethylene medium density resin designed to improve processing and performance for both breathable and non-breathable backsheet resins in hygiene applications.
