PRIMAL™ CA 750 Adhesive

PRIMAL™ CA 750 Adhesive bonds foam, textiles, and wood for mattress and
furniture construction, replacing allergenic poly(chloroprene), which
derives from a likely carcinogen. This drop-in solution is applied by
spray or roll coating and uses a distinct mix of biomaterials and
polymer chemistry to trigger tack and build strong, yet flexible bonds.

PFAS Alternatives: TRITON™ FCX Surfactants

Dow’s TRITON™ FCX Surfactants are readily biodegradable alternatives to
“forever chemicals” (PFAS) currently used in paint formulations as block
additives to prevent painted surfaces (doors, windows) from sticking
together. Easy to handle and cost-effective, performance vs PFAS is not
sacrificed and is even improved in many paint formulations.

LEXAN™ LUX2289-8G9B2937 Polycarbonate

LEXAN™ LUX2289 is the first ultra-white light shielding material for
headlight brackets. Formerly light would leak into the bracket. Also in
previous designs, three parts and materials were needed; now only is one
part is needed. The material is: light-tight while providing
reflectivity; 10% lighter weight; and 25% less cost than current
solutions.
