Specialty Surfactants

Dow’s specialty surfactants such as TERGITOL™ 15-S-9 Surfactant and ECOSURF™ SA-7 Surfactant are designed to perform synergistically with solvents to improve fragrance solubilization in air products at low surfactant levels.

VIEW PRODUCTS

Alcohols

Dow also offers low-molecular-weight, water-soluble alcohols such as Propylene Glycol and Dipropylene Glycol, which can be used in aerosols and sprays, enhancing the solubility of perfumes and fragrances to improve spray performance and fragrance expression.

Enabling product efficiency and effectiveness in liquid and gel formulations

At Dow, we provide solutions for air care products in liquid and gel formats to meet consumer demand for a longer-lasting and fresher scent experience.

For liquid formats, our solvents are excellent carriers of fragrance in products such as plug-ins and diffusers. For gel-type products, our solvents help control evaporation rate to ensure consistent delivery of fragrance over several weeks.

With extensive market understanding, Dow offers innovative solutions that connect performance with an improved environmental profile.

Dow Glycol Ether Solvents

Dow glycol ether solvents enable solubilization of fragrances and the evaporation profile for consistent fresh scent. We offer fast-evaporating solvents such as DOWANOL™ DPM Glycol Ether and VOC-exempt solutions such as DOWANOL™ EPh6 Glycol Ether and DOWANOL™ TPM Glycol Ether. Also, DOWANOL™ DPMA Glycol Ether Acetate is a low-evaporating option with excellent solvency.

VIEW PRODUCTS

Alcohols

Dow alcohols such as Propylene Glycol and Dipropylene Glycol serve as effective carriers of scents and fragrances in air care products. They provide excellent co-solvency for water, oils and hydrocarbons, with consistent purity, quality, minimal odor, low skin irritation potential and low toxicity.

VIEW PRODUCTS

Dow Nonionic Surfactants

Dow nonionic surfactants such as ECOSURF™ EH-6 Surfactant and TERGITOL™ ECO-36 Surfactant are readily biodegradable solutions that improve the solubilization and emulsification of fragrance mixtures with other formulation ingredients and polymers, especially for aqueous air freshener gels.
