Callaway Golf Balls Feature Dow's PARALOID™ Advanced Performance

From golf balls to building products and smart devices, consumers demand high-performance plastics at work, at home and at play.

Dow (NYSE: DOW) has combined its materials science expertise with Callaway Golf Company (NYSE: ELY) to introduce a new generation of golf balls formulated with PARALOID ™ Impact Modifier from Dow. Callaway Golf's newly launched ERC Soft and Supersoft golf balls feature a hybrid cover infused with a proprietary blend of PARALOID Additive and SURLYN ™ Ionomers from Dow. This dynamic, multi-material composition of the golf ball shell and core supports significant player benefits including distance, exceptional spin, softer feel and short-game control. Ian Drake, Global Technical Director of Dow Plastic Additives, said: "The Dow and Callaway teams bring together unique R&D expertise with a deep understanding of the game and the players who play it to create the latest innovation in golf ball technology. Bold collaborations like this are key to the adoption of innovative technologies that can advance science while making sport and beyond better." Dow's PARALOID Additive portfolio enables the formulation of specialized high-performance compounds and composites and offers excellent compatibility with other resins when mixed with various melt-processing techniques. In addition to durable goods like sports equipment, PARALOID Additives strengthen and harden a wide range of thermoset and thermoplastic polymer systems for building products, automotive and electronic applications with properties critical to withstanding the most demanding conditions.   Source: https://www.dow.com/en-us/news/dow-paraloid-impact-modifiers-for-callaway-golf-balls.html
