Fascinating Silicone: A History of Proven Innovation

From the Stone Age when silica-based stones were made into tools, to the modern use of silicone structural solutions keeping some of the world’s most prominent buildings standing, silicone has been helping make the world a better place for all.

For its first seven decades, Dow Corning built an outstanding legacy as an industry-leader in silicone technology. Now, as part of The Dow Chemical Company, it has the opportunity to combine its silicone technology with organic technologies to develop the next generation of innovation.

This alignment provides a powerful new set of material science capabilities to Dow.
