Imagine Your Next Design In Silicone
|
|
When you want to give your designs unique aesthetics, superior performance,
processing advantages or sustainable benefits, silicones are often a great
choice.
“For me, it’s about translating between the inception of a material and its
potential application. It’s really about being able to go into design studios
and share the range of materials from Dow Corning, and get across the full
range of possibilities for silicone. When you take some of the high performance
materials we are putting it in, like the DEFLEXION™ materials for impact
protection, you realize how adaptable it is. It starts to open up a lot of
design possibilities and become a whole lot more interesting.”

DEFLEXION™ shock absorbing material from Dow Corning can be
incorporated into a wide variety of products. Any application in which it is
valuable to diminish impact without adding much weight and bulk may benefit
from these products. Add the ability to withstand heat and moisture extremes,
and you have an industrial material that could be considered for
almost any situation.
