Silicone Enhances the Reliability & Accuracy of EV and ADAS Sensors

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) rely on camera, LiDAR, and radar sensors to enhance vehicle safety and enable autonomous driving. However, these sensors face harsh conditions such as heat, vibration, chemicals, moisture, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can affect their performance.

Silicone: A Key Solution for ADAS Sensors

Dow’s silicone-based materials—including gels, encapsulants, conformal coatings, sealants, and adhesives—offer critical benefits for sensor assembly and long-term reliability.

Key Benefits of Dow Silicones for ADAS Sensors

✅ Weather Resistance – Withstands rain, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures.
✅ Thermal Stability – Protects against heat, oxidation, and thermal shock.
✅ Water Repellency – Naturally hydrophobic for superior moisture protection.
✅ EMI Shielding – Electrically conductive silicones prevent sensor interference.
