Dow silicones are unique materials with a useful temperature range from -115\u00b0C to 260\u00b0C, and these materials are highly stress relieving, with a modulus that commonly ranges from 0.01 to 10 MPa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Product family<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Features and benefits<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Adhesives, sealants, and foams<\/td><td>\u2022 Outperform and outlast organics under demanding conditions <br>\u2022 Remain flexible over a wide temperature range <br>\u2022 Reliable adhesion to a variety of substrates <br>\u2022 Light-weighting and perfect sealing<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Coatings, gels, and encapsulants<\/td><td>\u2022 Protect against moisture, dirt, shock, and vibration and heat fluxes <br>\u2022 Are stress-relieving and dimensionally stable <br>\u2022 Have minimal shrinkage<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Liquid silicone rubbers (LSRs)<\/td><td>\u2022 Ease of processing <br>\u2022 Good mechanical properties <br>\u2022 Excellent resistance to extreme temperatures and aging<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Optically clear materials<\/td><td>\u2022 Offer high performance even in harsh environments <br>\u2022 Range from dispensable to moldable solutions <br>\u2022 Allow design flexibility for lighting, electronics, and displays<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thermal interface, and electrically-conductive materials<\/td><td>\u2022 Provide wide-range solutions for effective thermal management of sensitive electronics <br>\u2022 Offer broad choice of thermal conductivity <br>\u2022 Fill oddly-shaped gaps <br>\u2022 High EMI-shielding effectiveness with electrically conductives<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aircrafts, helicopters &amp; drones<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proven solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Piloted aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, need environmental sealing, adhesive bonding, thermal management, and protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft also demand proven performance, especially for critical electronic components. Whether an aircraft is fuel-powered or battery-driven, engineers expect materials to help solve design challenges. The aircraft industry needs to meet strict safety standards, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Multi-purpose and solvent-resistant fluorosilicone sealants from Dow deliver required performance. DOWSIL\u2122 adhesives, sealants, and foams are not only used for exterior and interior applications, but also as the gaskets for compressors, gearboxes, and pumps. Solvent resistant sealants support the assembly and repair of fuel systems and tanks. These advanced silicones are also used for bonding substrates to heat sinks in transmission, power, and conversion modules as well as bonding integrated circuit substrates, attaching heat sinks, and adhering lids, housings, and base plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More electric aircrafts benefit from DOWSIL\u2122 thermal-management solutions for the battery and battery systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1428\" height=\"931\" src=\"http:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-1.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3358\" srcset=\"https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-1.webp 1428w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-1-300x196.webp 300w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-1-1024x668.webp 1024w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-1-768x501.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1428px) 100vw, 1428px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Defense<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mission-critical performance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether by air, land, or sea, military missions demand proven solutions to some of engineering&#8217;s toughest challenges. Military operations also need materials that deliver optimal performance in challenging conditions such as desert heat, arctic cold, and jungle rains. With their unique balance of properties, Dow silicones combine high levels of stress relief with reliable environmental resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DOWSIL\u2122 coatings, gels, and encapsulants resist shock and stress, while dampening vibrations, and providing good flame resistance. Many of these products are MIL-SPEC tested and Underwriter Laboratories (UL) approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1315\" height=\"666\" src=\"http:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-2.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-2.webp 1315w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-2-300x152.webp 300w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-2-1024x519.webp 1024w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-2-768x389.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1315px) 100vw, 1315px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avionics, displays &amp; lighting<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Electronics, sensors, and illumination<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether they&#8217;re flying us home or across the globe, aviation pilots need to see in order to keep us safe. They need to see fuel levels. They need to see air traffic. They need to see flight control avionics, displays and lighting support communications, navigation and monitoring in the cockpit and beyond. As our skies get busier, flight recorders and collision avoidance systems are becoming more important, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From flight displays to cockpit, from instrument and cabin lighting to navigation light, engineers need rugged, reliable solutions. DOWSIL\u2122 optically clear materials resist temperature, humidity, and other environmental extremes. Even the miniature lamps or displays in cabin interiors require the right protection and performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For dissipating heat, Dow&#8217;s thermally-conductive materials provide reliable cooling solutions for electronics, modules, and assemblies. DOWSIL\u2122 electrically-conductive materials ensure high-shielding effectiveness from electromagnetic interference in the wide range of frequencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1301\" height=\"699\" src=\"http:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-3.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-3.webp 1301w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-3-300x161.webp 300w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-3-1024x550.webp 1024w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-3-768x413.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1301px) 100vw, 1301px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spaceships &amp; satellites<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mission-critical systems<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spaceships and satellites operate in high-vacuum environments where outgassing can disrupt electronic systems, optical devices, and thermal radiators. Sealants and encapsulants that release high levels of volatiles can degrade the performance of electronics and sensors. Released gases from materials with high levels of volatiles can also condense on camera lenses. Space-grade silicones from Dow meet NASA requirements for low thermal vacuum outgassing. They also provide good physical and electrical stability over a wide temperature range. DOWSIL\u2122 space-grade encapsulants are available in flowable and thixotropic versions, and used with modules, relays, power supplies, delay lines, cable connectors, and complete electronics assemblies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low-outgassing silicones for spaceships and satellites include controlled-volatility sealants with low levels of collected volatile condensable materials (CVCMs), and high elongation for stress relief (according to ASTM E595).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1217\" height=\"686\" src=\"http:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-4.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-4.webp 1217w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-4-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-4-1024x577.webp 1024w, https:\/\/performancelubricants.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/dowsil-4-768x433.webp 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1217px) 100vw, 1217px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New frontiers<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Constant innovation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Experts from around the world are evaluating asteroid mining, a return trip to the Moon, and a manned mission to Mars. Achieving these goals will require a growing number of launches, which is why engineers need the right material solutions for launch equipment protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The thermal energy from rocket plumes can cause ablation to flame trenches made of concrete, refractory brick, and steel. That&#8217;s why Dow provides ablative materials for protecting launch platforms and rocket nozzles under extreme heat flux. Our technical experts in the United States will be happy to support you in solving extreme heat-flux challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dow has also developed thermally-conductive
