This variety of PU is mainly used in thermal insulation metal plates, providing efficient thermal insulation and fire retardant performance for the insulation system, and combines the low-carbon and green characteristics
of adapting to the design of customer requirements.

Dow's alternative feedstocks come from bio-based feedstocks that are non-competitive with food and feed, as well as raw materials

.
For the past 5 years, V PLUS Perform products help insulation board manufacturers produce building materials
that are both energy-efficient and fire-safe.
V PLUS Perform Next supports insulation board manufacturers in selecting low-carbon and circular components at the design stage, providing new products
for sustainable buildings.
