Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Driving innovation in autonomous vehicles to increase driver and road safety.

Quality silicone materials are key to manufacturing reliable advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). That's because the smart ADAS sensors that comprise the technology need stable, adaptable and safe silicone products to secure and protect intricate components.

DOWSIL™️ silicones provide these benefits to ADAS manufacturers. Our Si encapsulants, gels, conductive silicones, adhesives and foams are helping us transition to sensor-driven mobility and autonomous transportation.

Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)

Advanced, autonomous vehicles systems need high levels of protection. Dow has a range of products that provide enhanced reliability and safety.

ADAS Sensor Assembly

Autonomous driving promises safer mobility. Like additional sets of eyes that are watching out for us, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) help drivers maneuver in both challenging and everyday road conditions, warn drivers about obstacles and emergencies, and improve the vehicle’s handling. Various sensors feed this critical data to ADAS devices but need to be protected from the harsh environments in which vehicles operate.

The assembly and integration of sensor systems and modules require mechanical fixing, thermal management, vibration damping, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and more. Using decades of experience in automotive electronics, our world-class R&D scientists provide you with a broad portfolio of innovative, proven silicone materials developed for ADAS applications.
