Dow Corning produces both organic and synthetic polymers and is known as the
world leader in silicon-based polymers, or silicones.
Siloxane polymers occur in a variety of forms, fluids, gels, elastomers and
resins with typical use temperatures ranging from below -40°C to greater than
150°C.
Applications for silicon based polymers span virtually industry in thousands
of applications which include adhering, sealing, and protecting everything from
integrated circuits to skyscrapers.
By increasing the molecular weight of a linear polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)
polymer, the viscosity at room temperature can be varied from less than 0.65 cP
to greater than 100,000,000 cP.
The low glass-transition temperature - coupled with a less
temperature-dependent viscosity and high thermal stability - makes
silicon-based polymers very useful for applications with a broad range of
temperatures.
Dow Corning is a provider of innovative silicon-based products, services, and technologies that can be designed
and delivered to meet your exact needs. Dow Corning has helped its customers
