DOWSIL™ Name Announced for Dow Corning Silicone Building Products

Dow Performance Silicones, a global business unit of DowDuPont Materials Sciences division, announces the rollout of a new product brand name — DOWSIL™ — for its heritage Dow Corning high-performance silicone-based building products. The new DOWSIL product brand name represents the combined power of Dow and Dow Corning and emphasizes longstanding global expertise in silicone technologies across dozens of industries.

Dow Corning revolutionized the way architects and fabricators design commercial facades, with 50+ years of proven performance in Silicone Structural Glazing (SSG) and Weatherproofing Sealants (WP). Customers can continue to rely on the same trusted silicone chemistries, features and product benefits for their designs under the new DOWSIL name.

Through a phased implementation over the next year, Dow Corning branded silicone products for building and construction will move to the new DOWSIL name. Product descriptors that are part of the product names today will remain the same. Moving forward, products will be sold by Dow.

Customers can also expect a simpler online search and buying experience, driven by a new website that will replace the current dowcorning.com platform.

During the transition, a new integration information center is available to customers at www.dowcorning.com/integration. To learn more about Dow’s proven high-performance silicone building solutions, visit www.dowcorning.com/construction.
