Dow Chemical provides
innovative waterproofing solutions for different building parts Dow Construction Chemicals Business Unit, a division of Dow Chemical Company, recently held a building waterproofing technology seminar in Guangzhou, showcasing innovative building waterproofing solutions

such as roofing protection, building waterproofing and cementitious tile adhesives.

As the inventor and leader of emulsions for elastic roofing coatings, its elastic roofing coatings can provide effective support
for roofing waterproofing, roof renovation and roof insulation.
Compared with existing roof maintenance solutions, such as asphalt, EPDM/TPO/PVC membrane and polyurethane waterproof coatings, Dow's elastic roofing coatings have excellent waterproof performance, which can extend the life of the roof by at least 5~10 years, and the repair method is simple, which can effectively reduce maintenance costs
.
White or light-colored roofing coatings also reflect the heat of sunlight, resulting in excellent energy savings, saving an average of 20% in energy consumption
.

For the harsh environments faced by building facades, Dow showcased innovative polymer emulsion architectural waterproofing coatings
.
This series of polymer emulsion coatings has excellent crack resistance and low-temperature flexibility, suitable for environments with high crack resistance, large temperature variations, no long-term water accumulation, and can give waterproof products stable performance without the use of plasticizers, safe and environmentally friendly
.

In addition, Dow waterproof mortars/pastes have excellent adhesion, impermeability, water resistance and high rigidity, which can provide good protection for long-term contact with water environments such as bathrooms and basements, and places where water is needed for waterproofing
.
Dow waterproofing coating solutions provide a solution
to waterproofing applications in kitchens and bathrooms.
