Avionics

Eyes on the skies

In the aviation and aerospace industry, pilots and astronauts rely on avionics systems to safely get them from point a to point b. Fuel monitoring, navigation, communications and instrument lighting all play a vital role in a successful flight or space mission, so it’s of the utmost importance that these systems perform effectively. 

Whether you’re looking for technology that performs in the air, the stratosphere or space, silicone materials from Dow are ready for the ride

Why silicones? 

Optically clear silicone materials resist temperature, humidity and other environmental extremes, improving protection and performance of lights and displays from the cockpit through the cabins. Thermally and electrically conductive silicone materials further the protection of avionics systems by cooling and shielding equipment from electromagnetic interference.
