Due to the outstanding physical and mechanical properties of silicone, it can be found in every part of today’s automobile.
The use of silicone improves safety and reliability and helps to reduce the size and weight of automobiles. Silicone has proven to be more durable than plastic and does not break down into harmful microplastics, making it a more environmentally friendly material.
The versatility of our silicone solutions allows them to be used in a variety of automotive components that make up the engine, the electrical system, and the suspension system, as well as the vehicle’s interior. These include door seals, engine seals, electrical connectors, tubing, hoses and various protective covers. Each product is designed to withstand the unique challenges of automotive applications, such as exposure to high temperatures or aggressive chemicals, the need for flame retardancy and low smoke toxicity.
- Seals and Gaskets: For both interior and exterior automotive applications. Provides excellent sealing in harsh environments where exposure to heat and chemicals are unavoidable.
- Weather Stripping: For sealing around interior passenger areas and exterior engine compartments.
- Hoses and Tubing: For resistance to common automotive chemicals and fluids, ranging from coolant to oil, ensuring hoses and tubes remain unaffected by corrosive substances.
- EV: Used as encapsulants, gasketing and for thermal management solutions in Electric Vehicles.
- High Temperature Resistance: Capable of performing in environments with extreme temperature variations, from deep cold to intense heat.
- UV Resistance: Proven to be UV light stable, making silicone an ideal material for applications where exposure to UV light is required.
- Enhanced Durability: Offers increased longevity and reduced maintenance needs, ensuring that components can withstand the rigors of normal operations without frequent replacement.
- Chemical and Flame Resistance: Resists a wide range of chemicals and is flame retardant.
- Customizability: Can be tailored to fit specific application needs, including custom shapes, sizes, and properties to meet exacting specifications.
- Weight Reduction: Contributes to overall weight reduction, which can significantly enhance efficiency and performance.
- Vibration Damping: Mounts and sheets that reduce noise and wear from engine and airframe vibrations.
