In 1942, Dow Chemical and Corning agreed to form a joint venture to develop and manufacture silicone products, from which Dow Corning was born. Dow Corning is not only a pioneer in commercial silicone products, but also a global leader in silicone products, with more than half of its sales coming from outside the United States. The two companies were originally split 1:1, but in 2016, Dow acquired Corning's stake in Dow Corning. Since February 2018, its new brand DOWSIL has entered the Chinese market one after another, and the original Dow Corning brand silicone products have been gradually transferred to the DOWSIL brand product line.
 
Dow Corning's silicone products are recognized for their excellence in many areas. In 1969, Armstrong landed on the moon in boots with silicone rubber soles, and Dow Corning was involved. In addition, in the Apollo 11 moon landing program, silicone sealants, potting compounds, etc. also came from Dow Corning. During the 911 attacks in the United States, the Pentagon's explosion-proof window system protected the lives of many people because of the use of Dow Corning adhesives.
 
Dow Corning not only excels in large-scale projects, but also has a wide range of civilian products. According to the use scenario, its glass glue products can be divided into kitchen and bathroom, door and window caulking, roof pipes, glass assembly, stone decoration and multi-purpose, etc., basically covering all the use environment of glass glue, all of which are one-component neutral glue, and the surface curing time is about 20 minutes. It maintains smooth extrusion over a wide temperature range, is easy to apply, and is non-corrosive to most building materials. The product is unified at 300ml, and the price is concentrated at 40-50 yuan, which is the highest among all brands.
 
Its silicone sealant for kitchen and bathroom is the best. Neutral no pungent odor, basically harmless to the human body, the price is 48 yuan. The sealant is safe and secure after curing, with the addition of bacteriostatic ingredients. After the experiment of Guangdong Provincial Microbial Analysis and Testing Center, the glue meets the national "GB/T 1741-2007" standard and has obtained the grade 0 anti-mildew certification. Its antimicrobial ingredient inhibits fungus on the surface of the sealant, but if the surrounding air is very humid, the condensation of water in the air will form a thin film of water on the surface of the sealant, and the fungus will accumulate on the surface of the sealant, causing the silica gel to discolor. It should be noted that mildew prevention does not mean mildew-free, if the environment is not too humid, Dow Corning kitchen and bathroom glue can be mold-free for up to 3-5 years.
