Dow Launches DOWSIL™ EG-4175 Silicone Gel to Enable Higher Voltage Power Electronics in Electric Vehicles and Renewable Energy Technologies
4.9.2025 11:00:00 CEST | Business Wire | Press Release
Dow (NYSE: Dow) launched today DOWSIL™ EG-4175 Silicone Gel, a highly reliable protective solution for next-generation insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules that operate at higher voltages. This new advanced material resists the higher temperatures associated with these IGBTs and supports greater reliability, lower power losses and higher power efficiencies in electric vehicle (EV) batteries and inverters for photovoltaic (PV) panels and wind turbines.

DOWSIL™ EG-4175 Silicone Gel is a protective solution, for next-generation insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) modules, that withstands temperatures up to 180°C. This innovative gel from Dow supports greater reliability, lower power losses and higher power efficiencies in high-voltage power electronics for electric vehicles and renewable energy applications.
Dow’s new DOWSIL™ EG-4175 Silicone Gel withstands temperatures up to 180°C and expands Dow’s growing portfolio of solutions for power electronics. The material also absorbs vibrations and has self-healing properties that repair small cracks without external intervention. It features self-priming adhesion for enhanced module protection and cures at room temperatures for excellent energy efficiency. Heat-accelerated curing may also be used to reduce cycle times.
“Dow is upgrading our IGBT materials portfolio to address the emerging trend toward achieving higher power densities,” said Cathy Chu, global strategic marketing director, Consumer & Electronics, Dow. “With its higher-temperature resistance compared to incumbent materials, this new silicone gel will enable our customers to design and manufacture higher-density IGBT modules with greater power system efficiency. This demonstrates Dow’s commitment to advancing the EV and renewable energy sectors, both of which contribute significantly to global carbon reduction.”
The launch of DOWSIL™ EG-4175 Silicone Gel supports key trends in EVs and renewable energy. In EVs, battery voltages are increasing from 400V to 800V to enable more efficient main inverter and faster battery charging. In PV panels and wind turbines, the power densities of inverters are increasing. This improves power efficiency and supports the handling of greater electrical loads. With higher junction temperature associated with higher voltages and greater electrical loads of the 7th generation IGBT technology, a silicone gel needs to have strong dielectric properties and enhanced thermal resistance.
Dow’s portfolio of silicone-based dielectric gel products provides thermal resistance, electrical insulation, encapsulation, stress relief, and mechanical and environmental protection. The company’s advanced DOWSIL™ EG-4175 Silicone Gel builds on these properties to provide several other advantages, including high-temperature resistance, low levels of silicone oil bleed and adhesion without a primer. Gels are a special class of encapsulant that can cure to an extremely soft material while providing the dimensional stability of an elastomer.
DOWSIL™ EG-4175 Silicone Gel joins DOWSIL™ EA-7158 Adhesive, an existing product, as part of Dow’s total solution for IGBT modules. DOWSIL™ EA-7158 Adhesive is a one-part, high-strength silicone product that provides excellent primerless adhesion to many substrates. This solvent-free, non-flowing material cures rapidly with heat and is translucent in color.
Both DOWSIL™ EG-4175 Silicone Gel and DOWSIL™ EA-7158 Adhesive are available globally.

AM Intelligence Expands NVIDIA Vera Rubin AI Factory Buildout in India and Malaysia5.10.2026 20:16:00 CEST | Press Release
AM Intelligence (“AMI”), the AI infrastructure platform set up by Promoters of Greenko, today announced two further firm and binding orders for 20,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs, to be deployed as NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72 rack-scale systems. Building on its first AI factory in Hyderabad, the expansion is designed to give cloud providers, enterprises and AI developers access to large-scale computing capacity closer to where they build and deploy AI. These orders are in addition to the AMI's inaugural commitment announced on August 25, 2026, for 9,000 NVIDIA Rubin GPUs at its first AI Factory in Hyderabad. This follow-on capacity totalling ~70 megawatts (MW) will be deployed at Malaysia and India with delivery scheduled for Q2 2027. Taken together, the three orders bring AMI's committed frontier compute to approximately 29,000 Rubin GPUs and close to 100 MW of capacity, establishing AMI among the earliest and largest committed buyers of Rubin GPUs outside of North America. AMI plans to bring addit

FuzeBox AI Named Founding Co-Author of SPUR Coalition Technical Committee on Verifying AI Content Use5.10.2026 15:00:00 CEST | Press Release
FuzeBox AI has been named by the SPUR Coalition, an international nonprofit of 37 news and media organizations, as one of four founding co-authors of its Evidence Profile Technical Committee, adopted Sept. 2, 2026, to draft an evidence profile for SPUR's Content Telemetry standard: a way for publishers to verify AI usage reports without depending on the reporting company's cooperation. Under SPUR's current standard, AI companies self-report their content use. A company that skips reporting leaves no record, and publishers can't check what they do receive. On July 10, 2026, FuzeBox proposed its Verified Provenance Telemetry Standard (VPTS): publishers seed content with detectable markers, then verify their appearance in AI outputs via an auditable ledger, with no change to SPUR's standard. Within 48 hours, three organizations filed related proposals: ProRata on usage magnitude, Encypher CEO Erik Svilich on the verification question FuzeBox raised, and LicenseFoundry on portable proof of
