Power supplies, rectifiers, transformers, and sensors are enclosed in thermally conductive silicone compounds that transmit heat away from the components while shielding them from contaminants, humidity, severe temperatures, and vibration.
The sensitive electronic components are shielded from severe conditions by silicone encapsulants and coatings, which are secure. When moulding rubber products like tyres, gasoline hoses, radiator hoses, and other rubber parts, silicone emulsions are employed as release agents.
Alkyl- or alkyl-aralkyl-modified silicone fluids (or their emulsions) are convenient, simple to use, adaptable, heat-resistant, and able to withstand chemical and environmental pressures, making them reliable and stable over time. They are used as release agents for aluminium die-casting automotive applications.
The following significant automotive components employ silicones to enhance performance: gaskets for cylinder heads.
The Global Automotive Electronics silicone sealant market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Automotive industry applications for silicone In order to increase quality and efficiency from the very beginning of assembly, Elkem Silicones has been collaborating closely with the automobile industry for more than 60 years, including OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
The industrial, environmental, and technological challenges facing the automotive industry today are becoming ever more complicated. These challenges range from the sourcing of raw materials to after-market disassembly, as well as maintenance, repair, recycling of parts, etc.
Additionally, they need to create automobiles that are cheaper, safer, use less energy, and have lower carbon dioxide emissions. To do this, they must offer clients a greater range of vehicles that are propelled by traditional combustion engines that are more efficient, in addition to a wide selection of hybrid and electrical vehicles that support the trend for eMobility.
All major automakers have introduced a number of HEV and EV models and have many more in the works. Making sure the electrical and electronic components in this new generation of eMobility cars are effective, dependable, and safe is one of their key difficulties.
For the assembly, integrity, and protection of its crucial components, silicones are employed in a wide variety of applications.
Elkem Silicones contributes its experience in sealing and bonding of engine parts, and as well as its expertise in on-board electronics, encapsulation, potting and insulation of electrical parts to move automotive technology forward.
It works closely with eMobility manufacturers, from design through to prototyping and assembly, to constantly innovate and improve the quality of this new generation of vehicles.
