![]() There is less than a week until Huntington Place opens its doors to the silicone industry for the very first time in Detroit. As a hub for cutting-edge companies, partners, and speakers throughout the supply chain, we are delighted to be hosting such a diverse industry under one roof. |


The latest Silicone Sessions took place at Momentive's European headquarters in Leverkusen, Germany, where CEO Nathan Reuby visited with Clemens Trumm, Manager of the Application Development Center at Momentive.
During the visit, he was shown a first-hand look at their Injection Molding process and learned about Momentive's innovative approach to meeting customer needs.

Nathan Reuby met with William ‘Tommy’ Smith, Trainer/Applications Engineer from KraussMaffei, Julie Harber, Business Development Manager at Elkem and Adam Shaal, Business Development Manager of Roembke MFG & Design. They discuss the machine that will be featured on their booth, the value of their collaboration and their excitement for the future of silicone production in America. |

Dow supports automotive sustainability goals with new moldable optical silicone.
Dow has launched their new Moldable Silicone, SILASTIC™ MS-5002, a specialized liquid silicone rubber (LSR) featuring very low mold fouling for faster cycle times and high-quality optics in automotive adaptive driving beam (ADB) light guides.
As the market trend for ADB headlights accelerates to mass production, optical matrix lens molders are looking to produce quality parts with higher throughput and less preventive maintenance. This new material has been specifically formulated for injection molded parts with less-complex geometries that require high-productivity manufacturing. It also features high transparency and non-yellowing to maximize LED light output, and a wide processing window.
SILASTIC™ MS-5002 Moldable Silicone complements and extends Dow’s existing portfolio of moldable optical materials for ADB headlights, which include SILASTIC™ MS-1002, SILASTIC MS-1001 and SILASTIC™ MS-4002 Moldable Silicone grades.
