Dow is showcasing a host of innovative technologies tailored for the sustainable development of the auto sector at Automotive World 2022, which will be hosted at Tokyo Big Sight from January 19 to 21. As an advanced automotive technology show, it combines multiple exhibitions and conferences covering important topics in the automotive industry. The highlight of the company at Automotive World 2022 is Dow's material science expertise for vehicle electrification, as the official materials science partner of Jaguar TCS Racing.

Dow played its part in Jaguar Racing's second-place team finish in the 2020/2021 Formula E World Championship, helping Jaguar to push the boundaries of sustainable mobility with materials that elevate performance. From its booth at the expo, Dow is presenting its expertise and commitment to the e-mobility and transportation industries through its MobilityScience™ platform, where advanced products and extensive services are tailored to meet specific customer needs with various applications of polyurethanes, acrylics, specialty chemicals and silicones. Innovative Solutions for e-mobility Customers: Dow's specific solutions on display include materials that support ADAS; electronic control units (ECUs); products for batteries and power electronics to help manage thermal, adhesion, sealing and throughput challenges and achieve reliable protection and shielding; solutions for automotive lighting to help enable safer driving conditions; and array materials used to support electronics.

In ECU and battery solutions, DOWSIL™ EC-6601 Electrically Conductive Adhesive is a next-generation material engineered for reliable performance and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in various transportation, communications and consumer electronics applications. It combines strong shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI) across a wide range of frequencies with durable mechanical and conductive properties over time. For ECU and ADAS heat control, Dow is presenting its DOWSIL™ TC-45XX CV series of gap fillers.

As automotive electronics contribute ever greater value to automotive safety, reliability, performance and comfort, they are also generating higher temperatures that can reduce the functionality and reliability of modules over time. Dow developed – and continues to broaden – a portfolio of silicone thermal conductive gap fillers with different levels of thermal conductivity that deliver greatly improved dispensability and stable performance for more reliable applications in harsh automotive under the hood environments. DOWSIL TC-45XX CV series solutions include DOWSIL TC-4515 CV, DOWSIL TC-4525 CV and DOWSIL TC-4535 CV which designed to provide a reliable cooling solution for modules like an engine or transmission control unit, and DOWSIL TC-4551 CV, a new thermal conductive gap filler for automotive power and sensitive electronic automotive applications.

Meanwhile, DOWSIL EA-4700 CV Adhesive is Dow's new silicone solution for transportation assembly. This adhesive delivers durable, rapid, room temperature adhesion. Through new formulation techniques, DOWSIL™ EA-4700 CV eliminates the need for heat cure ovens whilst exhibiting a fast cure profile with reasonable open times.

This new advanced assembly solution compliments the increasingly popular use of plastic substrates within transportation assembly as its aforementioned properties allow the adhesive to bond quickly to traditional metals and plastics including, aluminum, PBT, and PPS.
