Dow’s extensive portfolio leverages deep expertise in materials science to create solutions aimed at improving performance, efficiency, and sustainability across its customers’ products and processes. The company offers automotive products across e-mobility, interior, exterior & safety, powertrain & performance, and other categories. The performance materials and coatings segment covers coatings, performance monomers, and consumer-oriented solutions. The company offers a broad portfolio of silicone-based conformal coatings, gels, and encapsulants for ECUs, power electronics, sensors, and ADAS modules across both ICE and EV platforms. Dow’s strong global manufacturing and R&D footprint across North America, Europe, and Asia (notably China) enables close collaboration with automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers such as Guangdong Delian Group (China), which specializes in automotive fine chemicals, Gruppo Fiori (Italy), and Bridgestone (Japan), among others.

Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is a German-headquartered global leader in adhesives, sealants, and functional coatings, as well as consumer goods, with a legacy dating back to 1876. The company operates through two major business units: Henkel Adhesive Technologies, the world’s number one producer of industrial and consumer adhesives, sealants, and coatings, and Henkel Consumer Brands, covering laundry & home care and hair care products under well-known brands worldwide. Henkel maintains a strong global presence across Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and emerging markets, leveraging innovation and a broad technology portfolio to serve over 800 industry segments and millions of customers globally. The company’s strategy in the automotive conformal coatings market focuses on strengthening regional manufacturing capacity and expanding its protective materials portfolio to support the growth of EVs and advanced electronics. In September 2025, Henkel expanded its flagship Adhesive Technologies manufacturing facility in Brandon, South Dakota, doubling site capacity to enhance production of advanced thermal management and protective solutions under the LOCTITE and BERGQUIST brands for EVs and electronics across North America. Complementing this, in July 2025, Henkel completed the acquisition of Nordbak in South Africa, reinforcing its Adhesive Technologies footprint in Africa and broadening its coatings and sealants portfolio for automotive and industrial applications.

H.B. Fuller is a global adhesives, sealants, and specialty chemical solutions company. The company serves a broad range of end markets, including automotive, electronics, transportation, packaging, construction, and industrial manufacturing, with products designed to enhance performance, reliability, and manufacturability. H.B. Fuller’s strength in automotive conformal coatings comes from its Engineering Adhesives business, which supplies conformal coatings, potting compounds, encapsulants, and functional coatings for automotive electronics.

The company supports the protection of ECUs, sensors, power electronics, connectors, and ADAS modules across both ICE and electric vehicles. Its broad chemistry capabilities (acrylics, urethanes, silicones, and specialty formulations) allow it to address diverse automotive reliability requirements. H.B. Fuller’s global manufacturing and sales presence (sales offices and plants in 25 countries outside the US and online offices in another 9 countries) enables close OEM and Tier-1 support. Recent acquisitions, such as the May 2024 acquisition of ND Industries (Vibra-Tite), strengthen functional coating and protection capabilities relevant to automotive assemblies.

Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. offers silicone materials, PVC, semiconductor materials, and specialty chemicals, and is known for its technology leadership and high-quality manufacturing. The company supports diverse industries, including automotive, electronics, industrial equipment, construction, healthcare, and semiconductors. Its broad portfolio of over 5,000 silicone products, backed by strong in-house R&D and a global manufacturing and sales footprint across Asia, Europe, and North America, enables close collaboration with OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers. Recent collaborations, such as the co-development of advanced silicone materials with Stratasys for additive manufacturing, highlight Shin-Etsu’s focus on next-generation production technologies. These strengths directly support its role in the automotive conformal coatings market, where high-performance silicone coatings provide superior heat, moisture, and dielectric protection for increasingly complex vehicle electronics.

ALTANA AG is a specialty chemicals group headquartered in Germany. The company is focused on high-performance materials, additives, coatings, inks, and sealants for industrial and advanced manufacturing applications.
