The Automotive industry continues to experience an increased consumer demand for greater for power, performance, and fuel efficiency. Couple this with lower maintenance demands, the industry has been forced to seek out materials with superior performance than the traditional compounds. Silicone offers the superior properties that are desired to overcome the barriers of more traditional rubbers.

For instance, with increased engine and related component performance requirements comes greater heat and the need for high temperature performance of materials.

Silicone is a material that offers superior performance characteristics to include:

• Thermal Stability
• Operating ranges of -70 C to 220 C or more
• Oil and Chemical Resilience
• UV Stability
• Environmental Resistance
• Shock Absorption
• Protection of Electronics

Examples of transportation components utilizing silicone:

• Encapsulate Sensors
• Headlamps
• Radiator Seals
• Seats
• Dashboards
• Spark Plug Boots
• Airbags
• EV Battery Seals
