Increasing safety and effectiveness of aerosols and spray formulations
At Dow, we provide technologies, ingredients and capabilities to help brand owners develop high-performing air fresheners and fabric enhancers in aerosol and spray formats. These products are carefully designed to deliver freshness and improve air quality while still maintaining stability and meeting regulatory requirements.
We offer a wide range of solvents, surfactants and alcohols to enable air care products in aerosol and spray formats that connect excellent performance with an improved environmental profile.
Glycol Ether Solvents
DOWANOL™ DPM Glycol Ether, DOWANOL™ PnB Glycol Ether and DOWANOL™ PnP Glycol Ether are fast-evaporating solvents that make them excellent alternatives to ethanol in air care products. DOWANOL™ EPh6 Glycol Ether improves solubilization and emulsification of fragrance without filming or streaking effects.
Specialty Surfactants
Dow’s specialty surfactants such as TERGITOL™ 15-S-9 Surfactant and ECOSURF™ SA-7 Surfactant are designed to perform synergistically with solvents to improve fragrance solubilization in air products at low surfactant levels.
Alcohols
Dow also offers low-molecular-weight, water-soluble alcohols such as Propylene Glycol and Dipropylene Glycol, which can be used in aerosols and sprays, enhancing the solubility of perfumes and fragrances to improve spray performance and fragrance expression.
