Join live dialogue sessions with Dow Specialists

Dow will exhibit at Glasstec 2024, Düsseldorf, October 22-25, and invites you to meet our team in Hall 11, Booth #B70, where we will present an expanded range of organic technologies to address the performance, productivity and quality needs of the facade and window segments. The new materials complement our highly successful portfolio of structural glazing, insulating glass, weatherproofing and fire safety bonding options for building facades.

“For over five decades, silicone sealants from Dow have helped inspire unique architectural possibilities for glass facades,” said Jean-Paul Hautekeer, Global Strategic Marketing Director, Building & Infrastructure at Dow. “Dow is excited to announce an expansion of its technology range with DOWSIL™ Organics for Insulating Glass to offer a comprehensive edge-sealing solution comprising of silicone and organics. This introduction underpins our position as a leading global materials science supplier and will allow customers to conveniently secure their sealing requirements from one source. This development also reinforces Dow, a backward integrated company, as a reliable supplier for formulated products with increasing requirements on circular and low carbon feed-stock”.
