Acrylic acid is used to produce polyacrylic acid, or crosslinked polyacrylic acid compounds, which are used in the manufacture of detergents and waste water treatment chemicals.
ADSORBSIA™ GTO™ media, titanium-based arsenic removal media, is a granular titanium oxide. This unique media is designed for non-regenerative applications. The inherently high adsorptive capacity of Dow's titanium oxide based technology has been formulated into a mechanically stable granulation suitable for use in a broad range of potable water applications.
Additives commonly used in the manufacture of lube oil and fuel additives, asphalt additives, paper wet-strength resins, and as demulsifiers for oil/water emulsions pumped from wells. Products include Monoethanolamine, Diethanolamine and Triethanolamine.
Bactericides and fungicides used to treat process cooling water and pulp and paper processes. Used in the treatment of cooling towers, AQUCAR™ products help prevent bacteria, fungi and algee. For the water treatment in pulp and paper applications, AQUCAR products work to preserve mineral slurries and feed stock as well as control fungi in process water treatment at paper mills.
Dow Calcium Chloride is used in water and waste water treatment applications to remove undesired impurities, such as fluoride, phosphate or oily emulsions. Products include DOWFLAKE™ Xtra Calcium Chloride and LIQUIDOW™ Technical Grade Calcium Chloride Solution.
Caustic Soda is used in waste water treatment applications for the pulp and paper industry.
Dow Water Solutions is a performance-based business unit comprised of leading world-class brands and enabling component technologies designed to advance the science of water purification around the world, including seawater desalination, contaminant removal and water reuse.
In addition to water treatment applications, ion exchange resins can be used in many different specialized applications such as pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, chemical processing, mining, catalysts, sweeteners processing, beverage and dairy processing, nuclear applications, bio-fuels and other demanding processes.
A continuous and chemical-free process of removing ionized and ionizable species from feed water using DC power.
A pressure driven membrane separation process that separates particulate matter from soluble components in the carrier fluid.
FILMTEC™ reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) elements are solutions for industrial, municipal, commercial and consumer water applications. These elements offer high rejection of dissolved solids and organics and operate very efficiently at lower pressures. FILMTEC elements also provide excellent structural stability and are more productive than other elements.
Highly efficent medium and low oxygen scavenger used in boiler water treatment applications.
HYPERLAST™ Polyurethane Systems for concrete maintenance applications and sewage plants, reserviors, and pipe lining.
DOWEX™ ion exchange resins and FILMTEC™ reverse osmosis membranes are used in the purification of water for the electronics industry and in the critical polishing stage for semiconductors. Reverse Osmosis can also be used to produce spot-free rinse water for car washes.
PELLETHANE™ Thermoplastic Polyurethane Resins contribute superior abrasion resistance, chemical resistance, and temperature performance to hose and tube. Applications include industrial hose, fuel hose, air tube, sewer hose, fire hose, air and water tubing and medical tubing.
They are used for a variety of applications, ranging from fiber and textile processing, food to kosher applications, metalworking to paper processing, personal care to plastics and water and wastewater treatment. Polyglycols products include Polypropylene Glycols and EO/PO Copolymers.
Used for foam control in water and wastewater treatment operations.
TRENCHCOAT™ Protective Film is a tough, heavy gauge rugged polyolefin film that is laminated to the inside and outside of corrugated steel pipe (CSP), used in storm drains, and culvert systems. It provides corrosion and abrasion barrier and is lighter than concrete or asphalt-coated pipe making it easier to transport, handle and install. It can be used in sewage, oil, chemical and water tanks.
Applications include housewares, appliances, lighting, water filters, battery cases, color concentrates and compounding.
Pipes made with Dow high density polyethylene (HDPE) resins offer a much longer life expectancy than traditional pipe materials and may provide an opportunity for infrastructure owners to potentially reduce maintenance, reduce water leakage and reduce infiltration into wastewater systems, potentially resulting in lower treatment costs. Automotive applications include automotive emission tubing, transmission hose, engine cooler hose, fuel hose cover, hydraulic hose, industrial hose, fuel hose sleeve and power steering return hose.
Water with high concentrations of calcium and magnesium is problematic, VERSENE™ Chelating Agents can help to overcome this problem!
DOWEX™ ion exchange resins can be used in home softeners to remove hardness from drinking water, eliminating soap scum, iron discoloration and calcium carbonate scaling.
