Different industries,
different silicones.

From electronics to dispensing and curing: what silicone does in each industry, and the product families most often used.

PCBs · electronic components

Electronics

Silicones protect circuit boards and electronic components from moisture, contamination, heat and shock.

Board protection
Conformal coatingsA thin film blocks moisture and contamination, preventing short circuits and solder-joint corrosion.
Encapsulation
Encapsulants & pottingFills and surrounds components to protect them from temperature changes, moisture and stress.
Shock absorption
Dielectric gelsVery soft gels absorb shock and mechanical stress.
Heat dissipation
Thermal managementCarries heat from hot components to the heat sink.

Batteries · vehicle electronics

Mobility & EV

Silicones bond and seal battery pack parts, protect vehicle electronics and carry heat away.

Battery packs
Adhesives & sealantsBonds parts and seals gaps.
Electronics protection
Conformal coatings · encapsulantsBoth protect boards and components from moisture, contamination and stress.
Heat dissipation
Thermal managementThermally conductive greases, gels and adhesives carry heat away from hot components.

EV TREND KOREA 2026

Aug 25–27, 2026 · At the Dow booth at COEX, Seoul, we introduced silicone solutions for electric vehicles. Read the trade show news

Panels · optical films

Display

We supply silicone PSAs that protect screens during panel processing and bond optical films.

Optical film bonding
Display & optical PSAHigh adhesion even in thin layers, for optical laminate bonding and cover glass protective films.
Process & transit protection
Low-adhesion PSA for protective filmsFor glass, metal and display protective films. Low, stable adhesion with little adhesive transfer.

Adhesive tapes · protective films

Tapes & films

We supply silicone PSAs for heat-resistant masking, electrical insulating and plating tapes, along with additives and a primer.

Masking & insulation
PSA for high-temperature, masking & insulation tapesHolds adhesion at high temperatures, for masking, plating and electrical insulating tapes.
Film tapes
Low-temperature cure PSAPlatinum cure sets quickly at low temperatures, so it also works on polyolefin (PO) film substrates.
Flame-retardant tapes
PSA for mica tapesA binder for flame-retardant mica tape that penetrates and bonds glass fiber and mica sheet.
Formulation & priming
Additives & primerAdditives that adjust adhesion and tack, and a primer that improves adhesion to the substrate.

Transformers

Power & rail

We supply XIAMETER™ PMX-561 silicone transformer fluid for rail and power transformers, including those on high-speed trains.

Rail & power transformers
XIAMETER™ PMX-561Fills the transformer to insulate and cool it. Used in high-speed train transformers.
Flash point
300 °C minimumFire point above 350 °C. UL-classified as a “less flammable” liquid.
Viscosity
50 cStA polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone fluid, water-clear.

Properties based on Dow’s public technical data. Check the TDS for current values.

Dispensing · curing

Dispensing & curing

We choose the right dispensing method for the material and propose dispensers and curing units matched to your process.

Dispensing
Dispensers & dispensing equipmentDispensing, spraying, hot-melt or filling to suit the material, from benchtop robots to turntable and 3-axis dispensers.
UV curing
UV LED curing unitsArea, high-power, bar and spot types. They replace conventional lamp systems, cutting power and maintenance costs.
Oven replacement
IR LED curing unitsNear-infrared curing takes far less time than chamber or oven processes.
Localized curing
Spot curing unitsCures only small, selected areas.
