Elkem is re-starting one out of three furnaces at its silicon plant in Salten, Norway. Production will remain halted at the two other furnaces until further notice.

Wacker Chemie AG plans to further expand its silicone specialties business and is reorganizing its production operations in Europe.

Elkem celebrates this milestone, having grown from an industrial start-up in 1904 into a position in 2024 as one of the world's leading providers of advanced silicon-based materials.

This facility, located in Kentucky, will recycle silicone waste streams from Dow’s U.S. operations. 

Swelling temporarily increases the size of tubing or hose ends, making it easier to connect them to the fixtures and other components.

A kick-off event marks the start of construction of several new production lines manufacturing functional silicone fluids, silicone emulsions, and silicone elastomer gels.

Among the methods for curing silicone release liners in label making, UV and nitrogen in the process produce a better cure for pressure sensitive labels.

The restoration of a curtain wall at Accenture Tower, an award-winning office and retail property in Chicago, includes the use of silicone sealants and silicone extrusion tape from DOW Corning Corp.

Selecting the right type of adhesive can help ensure the successful operation of the component or device while maximizing yields and throughput.

The collaboration will combine Zero’s expertise in climate change policy with Elkem’s strategic climate change goals.
