Dowsil™ Performance Silicones

Sealants | Adhesives | Rubbers | Oils | Emulsions | Coatings | Compounds

Dowsil™ Performance Silicones has a range of high performance silicone products for the automotive, advanced assembly markets and construction segment. The products were earlier being marketed under the Dow Corning® brand.

The product range includes adhesives and sealants, emulsions, fluids, silanes, encapsulants, potting compounds, conformal coatings, conductive materials and many more.

Adhesives / Sealants

Adhesives and sealants are used for bonding and sealing applications in automotive as well as industrial appliance and maintenance. These high performance materials are proven, effective problem-solvers. They provide:

  1. Good adhesion strength on most substrates for high-quality assembly
  2. Long-lasting (than many organic polymers), flexible seals for advanced product design and efficient equipment service.
  3. Faster production and assembly.
  4. Match your specific process needs and application requirements.
  • RTV (room-temperature-vulcanizing) sealants
    • These silicone polymers work with a condensation reaction in humidity at typical room conditions, but the cure can be accelerated by increasing temperature and humidity. RTV sealants are easy to install, and they offer relatively low cost and good adhesion.
  • Heat cure sealants
    • Delivering much shorter cure times than RTV sealants, these materials can be automatically dispensed to meet industrial appliance assembly requirements.
  • Hot-melt silicone sealants
    • Ideal for automated applications in the manufacturing of various components, these reactive hot-melt materials provide instant green strength, which can increase productivity, improve quality and reduce costs in industrial assembly applications.
  • Silicone foams
    • Ideal as compression gaskets or as “environmental seals” to protect against ambient air, splashed water, dust and moisture, these materials are a cost-effective sealing solution compared to preformed gaskets and foam tapes for use sealing high-tolerance gaps. Applied using automated robotic dispensing, these materials have a fast room-temperature or low-temperature cure.
Fluids and Emulsions

We offer a range of silicone oils (fluids) available in different viscosities. Silicone oils are very versatile and find their application as release material, lubricant, mechanical fluid, foam preventative, insulating and damping fluid. They are also used as additives in cosmetic and skin formulations, polishes and plastics.

Encapsulants and Conformal Coating

Silicone encapsulants, conformal coatings and gels protect electronic components against moisture, dirt, shock, vibration and other harsh environmental factors. Silicone gels combine the stress relief and self-healing qualities of a liquid with the dimensional stability of an elastomer. Silicone encapsulants cure with minimal shrinkage and involve no solvents or cure by-products, helping to maximize processing efficiency and minimize costs. Conformal coatings help protect circuitry against severe environments, while maintaining a low stress environment for components and connections.
