MIDLAND – The Dow Chemical company Tuesday introduced a new technology that will make the fabrication of wind blades for alternative energy use that are stronger, lighter and easier to manufacture.

Launched at the JEC show in Paris, France, AIRSTONE Systems for

Wind Energy from Dow once again highlight how the Company’s sharp focus on

sustainable products and solutions is securing long-term commercial

opportunity, the company said in a press release.

“At Dow we’re proud of our ability to derive business value from

innovative chemical solutions while meeting the most pressing world

challenges, such as the need for less carbon-intensive energy

alternatives,” said David E. Kepler, Dow’s executive vice president and

Chief Sustainability Officer. “No one has more at stake or more of an

ability to have an impact on the issue of global energy efficiency than we

do.”

AIRSTONE Systems for Wind Energy, produced by Dow Epoxy Systems, is

the latest of many dynamic Dow products, including STYROFOAM brand

insulation (also used in wind blade construction), that are helping to

create a sustainable future for the human family.
