Dow Corning is a leading manufacturer of lubricants and silicone sealants. There are five classes of lubricants from which to choose. Each class has a different physical form with properties that make it suitable for specific applications:

• Compounds—Grease-like materials composed of silicone fluids and silica fillers. Used for their sealing, dielectric, non-metal-to-metal lubricating and release properties.
• Greases—Solid to semi-solid materials consisting of a lubricating fluid, thickening agent, and additives. Used on rolling element bearings and other moving parts.
• Pastes—Grease-like materials containing a very high percentage of solid lubricants. Used for assembly and lubrication of highly loaded, slow-moving parts.
• Anti-Friction Coatings—“Lubricating paints;” when applied, these materials cure to form dry, solid lubricant coatings that are bonded to the surface.
• Dispersions/Other—Finely divided solid lubricants suspended in lubricating fluids; preferred when it is necessary to apply solid lubricants in liquid form

Dow Corning sealants are formulated utilizing a variety of product technologies, each providing strengths and characteristics unique to its chemistry.

• Conventional (Acetoxy) Sealants—Conventional acetoxy-cure sealants offer the superior adhesion and performance expected of silicone sealants.
• Low Odor (Neutral) Sealants—Neutral-cure sealants for corrosion-sensitive applications.
• Coatings—Silicone performance provided through release and protective coatings.
• Surface Preparation Products—Adhesion promoters and primers to ensure the highest level of adhesion performance.
