Dow plans to expand its global alkoxylation capacity in the U.S. and Europe to meet increasing demand across a wide range of fast-growing end-markets where the Company is delivering 10% to 15% annual growth rates, from home and personal care to industrial and institutional cleaning solutions and pharmaceuticals.
Effective Technologies to Maintain Current Carbon Emissions
The faster-payback, higher return investments announced will increase Dow's capacity, while maintaining current carbon emissions levels through the use of efficient technologies and site improvements.
Dow's versatile alkoxylation assets upgrade basic materials science building blocks to produce safe and sustainable ingredients for cosmetics, household and industrial cleaning, home and personal care, crop defense, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, paints and many other products for everyday use in a number of product lines, including TERGITOL™, UCON™, ECOSURF™, and
CARBOWAX™ SENTRY™.
These investments in the U.S. and Europe are backed by supply agreements with customers, including leading consumer brands, and expected to come online in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
"
We have consistently seen increased demand for our alkoxylation capabilities aligned to industry sectors growing faster than GDP across the cycle," said Brendy Lange, business vice president of Dow Industrial Solutions. "
These latest investments are another demonstration of our commitment to customer collaboration and innovation backed by industry leading integration."
