Protective Coatings
Protection and performance that lasts
The protection and maintenance of industrial and commercial structures often relies on high-performing paints and coatings, and raw materials from Dow can help you meet your target performance. We offer several technologies that enable primer, topcoat, and direct-to-metal formulations for light-to-aggressive conditions, including waterborne, solventborne, and high solids resins and additives. Whether formulating 1K or 2K systems, we can help combat damaging environmental effects on infrastructure.

PARALOID™ Acrylic Polyols
PARALOID™ Acrylic Polyols facilitate coatings of highly durable 2K polyurethane coatings for more aggressive environments.
Dow’s Waterborne Acrylic Resins facilitate reduced volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions compared to solventborne technology. With a range of minimum film formation temperature offerings, formulators can achieve VOC levels less than 25 g/L.
Industrial coatings must provide adequate corrosion resistance for the target asset to withstand the elements, and Dow’s Acrylic Resins can assist with achieving high performance corrosion resistance for 1K and 2K primers, topcoats, and direct-to-metal finishes.
When application timing is critical, Dow’s Acrylic Technology can assist with improved dry time versus other chemistries utilized in the industry.
Coating appearance is just as important as the protection it provides. Dow offers resins for formulations ranging from high gloss topcoats to low gloss primers, and with the AVANSE™ Waterborne Acrylic Technology, coatings can achieve improved gloss retention versus standard acrylic options.
Silicone-based materials in architectural and industrial markets continues to be viewed as premium technology for high-performing coatings. Silicone resins and resin intermediates are used in heat resistant paint and industrial marine and protective coatings, coil coatings, and hybrid resin systems for premium topcoat finishes.
Paint and coating formulations incorporating Dow silicone resins and resin intermediates exhibit improved resistance to temperature, moisture, corrosion, electrical discharge, weathering and UV radiation.
DOWSIL™ Silicone Resins offer high temperature resistance for demanding isothermal and temperature cycling coating performance requirements.
DOWSIL™ Silicone Resins can improve UV, water, and corrosion resistance in protective coatings, and Dow’s silicone resin portfolio contains inorganic (silylalkoxy and silanol) and organic-reactive (amine) solutions, offered in a variety of delivery forms.
Solventless, room temperature cure-able silylalkoxy resins for high temperature and weather resistant coatings. DOWSIL™ 3055 Resin is a solventless, amine-functional silicone resin that can improve flexibility, thermal, UV, water, and chemical resistance of 2k epoxy coatings.
Dow continues to drive cleaner, innovative solutions to address unmet market needs across the globe. DOWSIL™ 8016 Waterborne Resin is delivered solventless and enables low volatile organic compound (VOC) formulations without sacrificing coating performance.
