A world class exhibition for glass innovation, Glasstec attracts an outstanding caliber of visitors from every corner of the globe who come to learn about latest trends and developments from the entire spectrum of glass production.

Dow Corning invites you to visit us October 21-24 in Hall 11, Booth B59 at Duesseldorf Fairgrounds to discover how sustainability shapes every aspect of Dow Corning's High Performance Building portfolio.From cutting edge innovation through to specialist facade engineering teams, we collaborate with specifiers to help realise design ambitions, increase building performance and achieve longevity of structures. Our latest clever and appropriate compatible material and system innovations will be on display for improving aesthetics, energy efficiency and overall building performance. These include:


  • High Performance Insulation: Architectural Insulation Modules' are glass spandrel panels which integrate vacuum insulation technology into an insulating glass unit, enabling multiple design options while contributing to an enhanced U-value of the overall facade.


  • Crystal Clear Bonding: A High Strength and Transparent Silicone Structural Adhesive developed to secure the steel connectors of point fixed glass facades directly onto the glass, without compromising the integrity of the insulating glass units, to achieve long term durability and sleek and flush glass aesthetics.


  • Smart Structural Glazing: A comprehensive package of engineering and technology solutions, enabling design and performance in demanding applications, such as high wind or hurricane glazing, bomb blast, cold bend glass, etc. New and proven technologies combined with new joint designs help accommodate even higher loads and support architectural design trends toward increased glass, higher transparency and reducing frame.



These are just three of our key innovation highlights, but there is more to discover...

Find out about Quality Bond, our leading certified membership initiative, which sets the standard for quality assurance and best practice in silicone workmanship, for increased safety, security and durability of buildings.

Schedule a time to meet our experts October 21-24 in Hall 11, Booth B59 at Duesseldorf Fairgrounds. We look forward to meeting you there.

Glass industry meets AI: And the glazier trade?
AI is increasingly being used in manufacturing by major flat glass producers with a view to optimising processes, reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions and securing competitiveness long term.
In this interview, Miika Äppelqvist (left) and Marko Mökkönen (right) from Glaston talk about the partnership between the Glass Performance Days (GPD) and glasstec.
Interview with Glaston on the GPD co-operation with glasstec
The cooperation between the GPD and glasstec creates new synergies for the international glass industry. In an interview, Glaston explains how both formats benefit from each other - and what added value this means for the industry.
Technologies such as machine learning and advanced analytics hold enormous potential for optimising manufacturing processes.
Digitalisation and AI in the glass industry and glazier trade
Digitalisation and the use of Artificial Intelligence have revolutionised many sectors of industry. In both fields utilisation and integration differ due to the corporate structures and the specific requirements and applications.
