The primary purpose of a window has always been to provide transparency. Today, however, windows must meet stringent requirements with respect to heat and sound insulation, UV protection, and security.

Silicone window bonding offers outstanding design versatility, enabling the creation of units combining optimized energy efficiency, high quality, and aesthetics. Silicone bonding adhesives from Dow Corning are designed to adhesively bond a glass pane onto various window frames, thereby permitting a maximised light-throughput in the window through a reduction of the frame thickness. These silicone adhesives also facilitate improved thermal performance and increased protection from weather conditions. Automation of the manufacturing process guarantees enhanced and constant quality of the bonded window and allow drastically increased productivity.

Dow Corning provides silicone solutions that carry the CE mark and are qualified to the highest European standards. Dow Corning is joining forces with specialist glass processors, system suppliers, and window manufacturers to offer specifiers Quality Bond, a qualified programme for applicators of Dow Corning state-of-the-art silicone window bonding.
