Dow Corning Warranty Programs
Combine the commitment of the world leader in silicone technology with the proven, long-life performance of silicone construction materials and it is not surprising that Dow Corning product warranties are much longer than those typically offered by non-silicone competitors. The following are brief descriptions of our limited warranties. For more information, contact your local Dow Corning representative.

Other Limited Warranties
