China’s rapid economic growth and fast changing urban scenario are directly manifested in buildings in cities. And green building standards have led to new requirements for the construction of urban buildings, with high-efficiency and energy-saving a must for newly planned projects. “As a provider of silicone products, Dow Corning is committed to a range of creative solutions for urban construction. From high-rise buildings to city roads, our products can be found in all areas of urban construction. They not only help improve their exterior designs, but also improve their efficiency and energy-saving features.” said Xu Dong, marketing manager in High Performance Building Solutions, Greater China.

Figures show that in China, building energy consumption accounts for about 40% of the country’s overall energy consumption, and curtain walls on most buildings are one of the key factors that affect building energy consumption readings. Dow Corning’s high-performance building solutions can effectively reduce air penetration, ultraviolent radiation and heat loss, thus improving energy efficiency. In addition, it also provides solutions such as energy-saving insulated glass, silicone structural glazing, weatherproofing sealant and fire resistance products, offering designers more creative space and more possibilities for building projects.

Since the first structural silicone glazing application in 1964, Dow Corning has been a pioneer in world construction technologies, providing the construction industry with groundbreaking solutions and gradually changing the faces of world cities. Of the 50 completed ultra-high rise buildings in the world, 35 of them were built with Dow Corning High Performance Building solutions, including world-famous landmarks such as Shanghai Tower, Burj Khalifa, and Taipei 101.
