Dow Packaging and Specialty Plastics has announced a series of planned improvements to its US facilities in West Alexandria, Ohio, and Ringwood, Illinois.
According to the company, a business unit of The Dow Chemical Company, the upgrades are targeted at the company’s adhesives and functional materials product line.
The move is intended to “meet the needs of global customers and reinforce Dow’s prioritized focus on enabling ongoing growth in strategic end markets”.
Courtney Fretz, North American product director, Dow Adhesives and Functional Materials, says: “Whether our customers need blemish-free surfaces for condiment packages or they need to create tough flexible packages and laminates for industrial use, these timely facility improvements will allow us to provide customers with reliable, cutting-edge technologies.”
At the Pack Expo show in Las Vegas, September 2013, Dow showcased its newest additions of high-performing products including two new grades to the Adcote Adhesives and Coatings family, Mor-Free L82-105/C33 Adhesive and Lamal 90-103 Adhesive.
The new products are said to improve a variety of applications ranging from industrial applications to food and snack packages for meats, cheeses, chips, coffee, snacks, sauces and more.
