At Ecobuild, stand N520, Dow Corning will show how their silicone sealants, adhesives and surface treatments support and even bring forward sustainable and energy efficient construction. <br> <br> With over 40 years of proven performance, silicone sealants and adhesives have been used for a range of construction applications, some of which have been specifically designed to resist extreme humidity, acid rain, hurricanes, typhoons and earthquakes. <br> <br> With ever increasing demands for buildings to be insulated from heat and cold, silicones exhibit a combination of properties that help architects and engineers to innovate by designing environmentally active buildings, with façade-integrated photovoltaics or mobile “living” façade systems which adapt themselves to solar radiation, temperature, wind and shadow.<br> <br>
