OLYMPIC PLAZAInsulation panels with Dow PAPI™ Polymeric MDI help increase energy efficiency of this landmark location. The slabs and roof contain VORASTAR™ coating technology to help protect it from costly water damage.

At Gangneung and Kwandong Hockey Centers ice needs to be harder and

more compressed to stand the constant back-and-forth of players and referees.4

ICE VENUESDOWTHERM™ Heat Transfer Fluids help maintain optimal ice conditions in skating rinks at three venues in the Gangneung Coastal Cluster.

At Gangneung Oval long-distance speed skaters like harder ice for optimal gliding and minimal resistance.5

SLIDING CENTREA polyurethane spray foam made with Dow VORANOL™ Polyether Polyol and PAPI™ Polymeric MDI insulates the ice in the Sliding Centre for reliable temperature regulation in luge, bobsleigh and skeleton competitions.

Dow PRIMAL™, ACRYSOL™, and WALOCEL™ technologies are used in the start house's Exterior Insulation Finishing System (EIFS).

INTERNATIONAL BROADCAST

CENTREMedia reporting on the Olympic Winter Games want to work in a comfortable environment that withstands frigid PyeongChang weather.

PIR panels with PAPI™ Polymeric MDI insulate the walls and roofs, while VORANOL™ and ISONATE™, polyurethane coating technologies help offer waterproof protection.

Dow Corning® 1001 Perimeter Silicone Sealant fills and seals gaps between walls and door/window frames to help keep drafts out.

OLYMPIC VILLAGEFor a comfortable living environment, Dow Corning®

1001 Perimeter Silicone Sealant helps keep the warmth in and the elements out.

The same coating technologies used in the Sliding Centre are also used in the interior finishing putty on the walls of the Olympic Village.

YEONGDONG EXPRESSWAYRoad marking paint utilizing FASTRACK™ Technology offers enhanced reflectivity on the Yeongdong Expressway, helping safely guide drivers from Seoul to PyeongChang.
