Petrochemical Equipment and Maintenance

Reliable petrochemical equipment and supplies

Protecting worker safety and optimizing plant output are 24/7 drivers in chemical and petrochemical manufacturing. From oil resistant gasket sealers to multi-surface adhesives, silicone solutions from Dow create trusted bonds for industrial assembly and maintenance applications. 

Why silicones? 

Dow silicone adhesives and sealants last longer and are more versatile than most organic polymers. They adhere to a wide variety of industrial metals, glass, ceramics, plastics and painted surfaces; they are resistant to long-term chemical exposure; and many comply with UL flammability standards. 

Which silicones?
