Read MoreHide Full Article

Dow Inc. (DOW - Free Report) will highlight its next-generation silicone release coatings, acrylics, hot melt and silicone adhesives that enable label performance in a circular economy at Labelexpo Europe 2023 on Sep 11-14.

Dow will launch SYL-OFF Protect, a carbon-neutral variety of SYL-OFF Silicone Release Coatings, as part of its commitment to delivering a sustainable future worldwide through materials science. These products, certified by an independent third party in accordance with PAS 2060, provide the same quality and performance customers in the label industry expect from normal SYL-OFF Silicone Release Coatings, with the added benefit of a lower carbon footprint.

SYL-OFFTM SL 184 Coating and SYL-OFFTM SL 351 Coating are two more silicone innovations that will be showcased during the show.

Dow's second product introduction at Labelexpo Europe, INVISU 7007 Wash-Off Label Adhesive, allows the separation of polyolefin-based (PE, PP) filmic labels from PET bottles for improved PET recycling. This acrylic technology also possesses moisture resistance, is easy to convert and process and has been recognized by the Association of Plastic Recyclers for its compliance with caustic wash recycling criteria.

The introduction of INVISU 7007 Water-Borne Adhesive is an exciting development directly related to the label industry's push toward a circular economy, DOW noted.

Shares of DOW have gained 5.5% over the past year compared with a 0.8% decline of its industry.
