Dow Coating Vision | Dow Goes All-In on 'Coatings': Announces Three Major Collaborations with Nippon Paint, Jiangsu Wanbaoruida, and Yigao Chuangneng

As promised—'seven' years in, Dow’s bold ambition to ‘go all-in on coatings’ at the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) has drawn significant attention from industry insiders. In the field of coating materials, Dow showcased integrated solutions spanning construction, industrial applications, and food packaging—and sealed three strategic partnerships. Dow’s strategic collaboration with Nippon Paint focuses on climate protection and safer materials, implementing high-impact projects. Leveraging its market presence and product expertise, Nippon Paint complements Dow’s global resources and manufacturing capabilities to jointly advance coating application technologies and explore new use cases—deepening multidimensional cooperation through diverse models and regular exchanges and visits to achieve mutual success. Dow and Jiangsu Wanbaoruida will concentrate on thermal paper materials and their downstream applications, integrating the relevant industrial chain and establishing a dedicated working group to jointly tackle industry pain points and bottlenecks—promoting the sustainable development of thermal paper materials across multiple sectors. Dow and Yigao Chuangneng will focus on architectural coatings—particularly functional interior and exterior wall coatings. Capitalizing on Yigao’s strengths in end-market access, distribution channels, customer resources, and application technologies—and Dow’s leadership in foundational chemical raw materials—the two parties will explore diverse commercial collaboration models to drive high-quality development of the architectural coatings industry. Yunnan Yigao—a leading enterprise in the putty and imitation stone paint sector and a standout among Yunnan’s coating companies—was recently visited by Dow’s ‘New Quality Empowerment’ team in Kunming (‘Spring City’), where they held cordial discussions with Yigao’s management team. Dow Coating Materials brought innovative, eco-friendly solutions—and secured firm commitments from industry partners. From bio-based materials to high-performance additives, Dow continues to intensify its efforts toward sustainable development in the coatings industry. Looking ahead, we look forward to exploring more green innovations alongside our partners—and co-creating better living spaces.

Spotlight on CIIE Innovation: Dr. Shu-Jun Shu of Dow Live-Streams Insights on Cutting-Edge Green Coating Solutions

On November 8, 2020, the third China International Import Expo (CIIE) kicked off enthusiastically at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). Dow Chemical—deeply committed to the Chinese market and material innovation—leveraged the CIIE’s international platform to host a dedicated online livestream event. Dr. Shu-Jun Shu of Dow Chemical joined the livestream to comprehensively introduce the company’s innovative coating products and integrated solutions to industry clients and partners—and delivered an in-depth interpretation of the application value of new materials in green coating, industrial manufacturing, and packaging upgrades. As a global leader in materials science, Dow Chemical has participated in the CIIE consecutively, consistently using this open platform to showcase innovative technologies and products tailored to China’s market needs. This livestream focused precisely on core areas—coatings and resins—and covered diverse application scenarios including residential and commercial construction, food packaging, and industrial protection—breaking geographical constraints of physical exhibitions and delivering immersive, online explanations that enabled industry audiences to intuitively grasp the performance advantages and innovative highlights of cutting-edge materials. During the livestream, Dr. Shu highlighted several flagship products. In architectural coatings, Dow’s innovative formulation systems balance environmental friendliness and practicality—featuring low odor, low VOC emissions, excellent weather resistance, and superior adhesion—making them suitable for wall coating applications across residential buildings, commercial structures, and public infrastructure. These formulations effectively enhance coating durability and decorative performance—aligning seamlessly with green building development trends. Addressing sustainability imperatives, the livestream spotlighted Dow’s bio-based emulsion products. These products partially replace conventional petroleum-based feedstocks with renewable, plant-derived raw materials—exhibiting outstanding low-carbon and eco-friendly attributes.
