Dow Corning and ATE Vitratech to Present Adhesive Solutions for Windows & Doors at EquipBaie

Dow Corning and ATE Vitratech will present their latest developments for glazing applications at the forthcoming EquipBaie Exhibition in Paris. Stand visitors will be introduced to the high strength capabilities of newly developed Dow Corning 776 InstantFix ? an easy-to-use silicone adhesive for bonding glass into frames and for assembly of associated components. This innovative technology increases the strength and rigidity of the frame, enabling more design flexibility and permitting a significant reduction in the height and weight of the profile for lighter windows. Ideal for use with a range of profiles, it can increase the vision area of a window, thus maximising light transmission into a room.

Marie Elliott, Dow Corning’s Market Leader for Windows and Doors commented "Dow Corning brand silicone is long established in the French window and door market, but this is our first time exhibiting at EquipBaie. The exciting collaboration with our distributor ATE Vitratech underpins our long term strategy for the development of this market with new window bonding technologies."

EquipBaie takes place from 18-21st November and expects more than 21,000 visitors through its doors during these four days. With more than 300 exhibitors, this leading glass show will provide the perfect platform from which to launch this exciting new bonding application.
