Releasing Sustainable Innovation in the Pressure Sensitive Industries

As an industry leader in Silicone Pressure Sensitive Industries (PSI), we are applying Dow sustainability leadership in climate protection, circular economy and safer silicones throughout the PSI value chain. 

Reducing CO2 emissions in Dow’s own manufacturing processes by increasing reliance on sustainable feedstocks, and helping to allow customers to reduce carbon footprint in their processes. Taking a leading role in supporting the development and implementation of a more circular economy, taking into account a product’s lifecycle – from creation to use to disposal – in everything we do and create. Innovating sustainable silicone materials and improving the way the world understands and considers science in decision-making to maximize benefits to businesses, society, and the planet.
