ABOUT P-Series glycol ethers

Protective coatings is the largest application area for DOWANOL* P-Series glycol ethers. Resin manufacturers, coatings formulators, and coatings applicators use these products in protective coatings for industrial, automotive, and architectural applications. The P-Series glycol ethers are widely used with cleaners because they offer an extensive combination of basic physical and performance properties for cleaning formulations. As a result, they are useful in a wide range of applications.  DOWANOL DPM Glycol Ether – English (62 KB PDF)  DOWANOL DPM Glycol Ether – Deutsch (34 KB PDF)  DOWANOL DPMA Glycol Ether (30 KB PDF)  DOWANOL DPnB Glycol Ether – English (31 KB PDF)  DOWANOL DPnB Glycol Ether – Deutsch (40 KB PDF)  DOWANOL DPnP Glycol Ether (30 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PGDA Glycol Ether – Deutsch (34 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PGDA Propylene Glycol Diacetate - English (71 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PM Glycol Ether – English (30 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PM Glycol Ether – Deutsch (33 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PMA Glycol Ether – English (33 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PMA Glycol Ether – Deutsch (34 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PnB Glycol Ether – English (30 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PnB Glycol Ether – Deutsch (494 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PnP Glycol Ether (31 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PPh Glycol Ether – English (33 KB PDF)  DOWANOL PPh Glycol Ether – Deutsch (899 KB PDF)  DOWANOL TPM Glycol Ether – English (30 KB PDF)  DOWANOL TPM Glycol Ether – Deutsch (33 KB PDF)  DOWANOL TPnB Glycol Ether – English (30 KB PDF)  DOWANOL TPnB Glycol Ether – Deutsch (34 KB PDF)  PROGLYDE* DMM Glycol Diether (33 KB PDF) ®™* Trademark of The Dow Chemical Company ("Dow") or an affiliated company of Dow

DETAILS

The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) announced

a series of phased, incremental investments

to expand its global glycol ethers capacity

to meet increasing demand

in key end-markets and applications.

Once complete, the Company will have

nearly doubled its current capacity of these product lines.

The Company plans to increase its production capacity of

select p-series and performance glycol ethers product lines,

including DOWANOL™ Glycol Ethers,

through a series of seven debottlenecking

and incremental expansion projects.

These phased investments will begin in 2018

and are expected to continue over the next several years.

The first increments of the new capacity

will become available by end of 2019.

Demand for glycol ethers continues to rise

as a result of

* urbanization,

* a growing middle class,

* evolving and stricter regulations

* and increasing sustainability challenges.

Glycol ethers are used in a variety of applications

to help deliver improved performance

and reduced health and environmental impacts

of the end products.

Ester Baiget,

Business President for Dow Industrial Solutions

“Our announcement to increase glycol ethers capacity

 reflects our long term commitment to these product lines

 and the industries that utilize them,” 

“These developments will continue

 to position Dow as the most reliable

 and customer-centric of all global suppliers.”
