Silicon EV elastomers shield EV components from electromagnetic interference and prevent heat loss from the battery. Additionally, they offer efficient temperature control for the battery, which is one of the most important parts of electric vehicles.
In the market for electric vehicles, the silicone product category known as elastomer dominated. The wide range of applications for housings, gaskets, and seals for thermal insulation of various components, such as the housing of portable control units (PCUs) and connector sealing, are to blame for this market’s expansion.
In electric vehicles, fluids are used as a fan clutch to improve thermal stability and torque transmission. Additionally, these fluids are utilized as tire modifiers and to coat high-voltage cables.
The segment’s expansion is anticipated to be aided by a number of non-fiscal and fiscal incentives provided by nations such as Germany, Norway, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
Resins are beneficial because of their resistance to weather, water, fire, and dielectric properties. Rolls are impregnated with silicone resins because of these properties.
Due to stringent government efforts to reduce air pollution in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and North America, electric vehicles (EVs) are anticipated to see widespread use.
In the upcoming years, it is anticipated that the rising demand for environmentally friendly transportation will also drive the demand for electric vehicles.
The market is expanding due to the increasing use of silicone in various electric vehicles, such as battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
The Global EV Silicone Elastomer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
DOW has launched its SILASTIC SA 994X EV silicon elastomer series as part of its ongoing efforts to develop smarter, safer, and more environmentally friendly transportation and mobility technologies.
Premerless, self-adhesive, general-purpose, and self-lubricating one-to-one mix ratio LRSs for two-component injection molding with thermoplastic substrates, including but not limited to polybutylene terephthalate and polyamide, are the SILASTIC SA 994X EV series.
The new series is applicable to a wide range of automotive applications, including environmental protection seals for autonomous vehicle lidar and radar housing, connector seals, battery vent gasket seals, and radiator gasket seals for electric and hybrid vehicles.
The DOW’s previously announced capacity expansions and investments in the mobility and transportation market, which included the installation of the new LSR mixer at the company’s production site, are built upon by this launch.
Making certain that the electrical and electronic components of these new-generation automobiles are safe, reliable, and efficient is the primary obstacle facing automobile manufacturers in this situation.
Silicones are used in a wide range of solutions for the assembly, integrity, and protection of crucial parts in these new vehicles, making them an essential component in the production of high-performance H&EVs.
Elkem Silicones, formerly Bluestar Silicones, continuously innovates and enhances its product line in line with our extensive expertise in on-board electronics for rail, public transportation, aerospace, and road vehicles.
