Dow Launches High Performance Acrylic Redispersible Powder

By: Catherine Diamon

Dow Construction Chemicals (DCC), a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company has launched 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, the company stated.

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.

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, the company said. 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.

Produced in the U.S., DLP-500 is being debuted in North America, with global launches expected in other regions throughout 2015.
