DOW CORNING CORP

Globally, there is a small number of basic fluorosihcone producers General Electric Co. and Dow Corning Corp. in the United States, ShinEtsu in Japan, and Wacker Chemie in Germany. Prices tend to be about 55—220/kg and higher depending on the physical form and the application.

These discoveries were followed by two key publications describing the work that marked the beginning of the commercial siUcone industry (18,19). Production increased rapidly with the need for siUcones in World War II. In 1943, the Dow Corning Corp. was formed in Midland, Michigan, as a joint venture between Corning Glass and Dow Chemical. In 1947 GE opened a plant in Waterford, New York, for manufacture of siUcones, and in 1949 Union Carbide opened a siUcone manufacturing plant in Tonawanda, New York.
