Ko Dow Chemical te umanga silicone matua i te United States.
I whakaturia a Dow Chemical i te tau 1897 a ko ia te tuarua o nga kamupene matū nui rawa atu i te United States me te tuatoru nui rawa atu i te ao ma te uara rawa. I te tau 2015, i hanumi me DuPont Chemicals. Whai muri i te whakakotahitanga katoa i te tau 2017, ka noho ko ia tetahi o nga roopu matū nui rawa atu o te ao. Ko te Kaporeihana o mua o Dow Corning he mahi tahi 50:50 i waenganui i te Kamupene Dow Chemical me Corning Inc. o te United States. Ko Dow Corning ehara i te mea he pionie i roto i nga hua silicone arumoni engari he kaiarahi mo te ao mo nga hua silicone. I te Pipiri 2016, i riro i a Dow nga hea o Dow Corning na Corning Inc., a ka taapirihia te silicone ki te raina hua matū matū a Dow.
