Building

Dow products made in Louisiana literally become the building blocks to the world constructed around us. Buildings, homes, playgrounds, and other structures get their start from products we make in this state.

Plastics produced at St. Charles Operations in Hahnville and Norco and Louisiana Operations in Plaquemine are used in a wide range of applications in the building and construction market segment, from pipe and membranes, to wire and cable.

Celluose ethers produced at Louisiana Operations, acrylics made at St. Charles Operations, and amino alcohols produced by ANGUS help create different types of latex paint. These products make paint dry faster and water-resistant.

Specialty alkanolomines produced in Hahnville are used in manufacturing treated lumber, which is used in decks, fencing and playground structures.
