Dow Coating Materials offers Primal HG-1000 based on Hydrotech technology. Hydrotech technology can enable the formulation of paint that can exhibit less cracking and better overall durability. Coatings made using the new Primal HG-1000 binder are expected to be cobalt-free, low odor, free of alkyl phenyl ethoxylates (APEO) and require no special handling. Ideal for exterior paints where durability is important, all Hydrotech technology formulations are low VOC.
