Dow has increased its capacity at SAS Chemicals GmbH, a German manufacturer of sealants and components used in insulating glass manufacturing. The move is intended to create a more comprehensive façade offering, leveraging Dow's minority equity investment. Silicone insulating glass sealants, which have been used in commercial structural glazing applications for more than 50 years, provide superior UV resistance and structural capability. Dow now provides a broader range of high-performance adhesives and sealants solutions to insulating glass manufacturers.
"With expanded capacity and products, our customers will benefit from a total-system solution of sealant and adhesive technologies that meet the performance, productivity and quality needs of the façade and window segments," said Jean-Paul Hautekeer, global strategic market director for Building & Infrastructure at Dow Consumer Solutions. "This investment is reinforcing our position as a leading materials science supplier in the global façades industry."
Dow owns a minority stake in SAS Chemicals GmbH, which manufactures and supplies adhesives and sealants for insulating glass windows. As part of this capacity expansion, SAS Chemicals will strengthen operations in Germany and increase production in Turkey, which is well-positioned to serve the global market and supplement existing SAS operations. SAS Chemicals' Turkey plant is expected to open in June 2024.
