"We are thrilled to build upon our global relationship with Dow
and expand our silicones portfolio. Dow has been an innovative
leader in the high-performance silicone space for decades. As
longstanding distribution partners, we know that together we can

Silicone additives and resins offer a complementary combination
of benefits designed to perform throughout a wide range of critical
functions for paint and coatings applications spanning a wide

and solvent-borne formulations, silicone additives are used to
provide thermal and moisture resistance, improved weatherability,
color and gloss retention, compliance with volatile organic
compounds (VOC) regulations, and organic resin compatibility.
Versatility, ease of use, and high efficiency at low concentration
levels make silicone additives and resins for paints and coatings
an attractive and more sustainable solution for many manufacturers
around the globe.
Univar Solutions' Essen Solution Center is a key technical
resource in the region as the Company works with customers and
suppliers like Dow to deliver innovative solutions in the paint and
coatings markets. Supported by technical innovation at its
