Lighting the path forward

See beyond the horizon

Automotive lighting technology can transform the mobility experience from the inside, out – for fuel-based and electric vehicles. It can impact mood, enable smart features and futuristic design and play a crucial role in road safety. Automotive lighting systems are critical for helping drivers see their surroundings clearly while ensuring others see them.  

As trends in intelligent mobility and energy efficiency drive innovation, the demand for processability, durability, and sustainability of materials rises. Dow is leading this evolution with technologies like SILASTIC™ Moldable Optical Silicones, helping to shape a smarter, more sustainable future for automotive lighting.
