Hot Off the Press

What do birthdays, royal flushes and good books have in common? They all rely on high-quality paper products… and those products all depend on Dow for superior performance.

Many of the printed items that you use every day – from playing cards to decorated paper plates, brochures and magazines – are enhanced by Michigan-based solutions from Dow.

When you’re flipping through your favorite magazine, you can feel Dow quality in the paper at your fingertips. ETHOCEL™ premium ethylcellulose polymers help coat the paper used in many magazines, catalogs and product literature pieces. These coatings provide protection as well as decorative features, such as high-gloss finishes, for paper, paperboard and labels. And Dow’s emulsion polymers are vital to companies involved in papermaking, printing and laminating – creating periodicals and packaging that you handle many times a day.
