Dow Construction Chemicals Launches DLP-500, an Acrylic Redispersible Powder for EIFS
HOUSTON -- Dow Construction Chemicals (DCC) a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company (NYSE:DOW) announced the launch of a new high performance 100 percent acrylic redispersible powder, DLP-500. With this launch, Dow enters a new market with a dry acrylic powder that performs as well as the Company’s highly regarded acrylic emulsion products.
“This product represents our ongoing commitment to, and a truly unique innovation in, the redispersible powder market,” said Bill Wagner, commercial director for DCC in North America. “DLP-500 provides all the performance benefits of a traditional wet acrylic, along with the sustainability benefits and savings from lower shipping and packaging costs.”
Designed specifically for Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) and stucco finishes, DLP-500 enables a dry mix with exceptional early rain resistance and dirt pick-up resistance while maintaining the workability and feel of traditional wet-formulated products. DLP-500 is the first product to be commercialized from what is expected to be a robust platform of high-performance, 100 percent acrylic redispersible powders for applications ranging from EIFS and roof coatings to repair mortars, grouts and tile adhesive.
Leveraging Dow’s decades-long experience in acrylic polymer technology, DLP-500 also enables formulators to serve a construction industry increasingly focused on sustainable building practices. By allowing for packaging in bags instead of pails or buckets, DLP-500 realizes package cost savings in excess of 60 percent. Additionally, without the presence of water, which can represent 50 percent of a traditional acrylic emulsion, DLP-500 customers can potentially cut their shipping costs and fuel use in half.
“The performance level achieved by our global development team with DLP-500 surpassed our highest expectations,” said Gary Reach, said DCC strategic marketing manager. “DLP-500 is truly in a class of its own and will be the foundation of our future generation of products in this space.”
