Dow selected AB Specialty Silicones as an authorized distributor in the United States and Canada to support the company’s business growth of OH functional silicone polymers in the elastomeric roof coating (ERC) market.
Silicone ERCs are liquid-applied coatings that cure into a durable, highly elastic waterproof membrane for flat or low-sloping roofs. Silicones are designed for UV stability and resistance to ponding water, especially for white reflective roof coating applications.
AB Specialty Silicones is a U.S. manufacturer and distributor of specialty silicone chemicals. According to Dow, they have relationships across the market, along with formulation and technical service expertise and bulk storage capabilities. The partnership is expected to support Dow’s recent investment in silicone polymer.
