[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Dow, a global materials science company, announced on the 12th that it has launched a special liquid silicone rubber for intelligent headlamps (ADB) called 'Silastic MS-5002 Molderable Silicone.'


The newly released silicone material features low mold fouling performance that shortens the manufacturing cycle, provides high-quality optical properties for ADB, maintains high transparency to maximize light-emitting diode (LED) light output, and does not discolor.


With this launch, Dow has expanded its portfolio of molderable optical materials, including Silastic MS-1002, MS-1001, and MS-4002.



Mark Bradford, Global Leader of Dow Lighting, said, "As ADB receives approval for use in countries around the world, the demand for intelligent automotive lamps is increasing globally. Dow has developed a special molderable silicone that is lighter than glass and plastic and can be produced with less energy."
