Automotive

Silicone rubber delivers the strength and durability needed in applications throughout the automotive sector.

Silicone rubber’s excellent weathering properties extend the service life of automotive assemblies, making them more resistant to rain, wind, salt, abrasion, ultraviolet radiation and chemicals.

Joints last longer and overall maintenance and repair is less costly.

Automotive silicones provide cushioning, load bearing, vibration suppression and protective shock absorption qualities to car seats, dashboards and automotive interiors - enhancing the comfort and driving experience.

Products

Silicone rubber is used in a wide range of car parts including: airbags, engine gaskets, headlamps, ignition cables, HT Cables, grommets, radiator seals and hoses, shock absorbers, spark plug boots and ventilation flaps.

Silicone Engineering produces extrusions and sheeting, in both solid and sponge silicones, that can be fabricated into seals and gaskets.

It can also produce fabric supported silicone sheeting, normally used in the manufacture of high performance turbo hoses.

The cable production facilities can manufacture HT cables, fully compliant with the international standard IS03808 Class B.
