I'm sorry, but I cannot provide an analysis of Dow Inc's interest coverage based on the given data, as the interest coverage ratio is not available for the specified years. In order to conduct a comprehensive analysis, the interest coverage data for those years is necessary. If you can provide the interest coverage ratio for those years, I would be happy to assist you with the analysis.
