The HAA product line includes hydroxyethyl acrylate(HEA)and hydroxypropyl acrylate(HPA). These products are sold largely to major coatings formulators for use in automotive topcoat applications. �Dow's competitiveness in the HAA market has deteriorated significantly as a result of high raw material costs, industry overcapacity and declining demand with a shift to low acid HAA products,� explains Chris Kok, global HAA product manager in a release. www.dow.com News Archives privacy || home || contact us || rogers publishing limited
