Inconversation with Mr. Massimo Rebolini, Commercial Director – Dow Consumer Solutions, Dow Chemical International – Europe, Middle East, Africa and India, he highlights about brand transition from Dow Corning to DOWSIL™, DOW Innovation Technical centre and Sahyog Centers, Training & Skill Development and Research and Development.
Can you elaborate on how Architects & Building Developers will further benefit with brand transition from Dow Corning to DOWSIL™ ?
Merging of Dow Corning with DOWSIL is actually bringing together of two sets of R&D’s of two different corporations which will further develop endless solutions and opportunities. In essence having the opportunity to mix organic chemistry with inorganic chemistry, we are in position today to develop hybrid technology which is going to benefit the endless creation of architects & builders. For us from Dow Corning to DOWSIL is just a name change and architects & Developers would get even higher and greater support from new Dow Customer Solution than ever in the past.
Dow Corning has always revolutionized the way architects and fabricators design commercial facades, with 50+ years of proven performance in Silicone Structural Glazing (SSG) and Weatherproofing Sealants (WP). Will there be new additions in product portfolio under DOWSIL™?
We have been leader for over 73 years since the creation of Dow Corning and we believe we will be the leaders for next several years in Structural Glazing & Weatherproofing Sealants with around 50% market share and with number of innovations which we are bringing in the market on regular basis. R&D organizations today are able to count on chemistry not just based on ethylene and propylene but also on silicones. Today we have three backbones- ethylene, propylene and silicones interacting together to bring in new discoveries and new applications in the building and construction industry.
