Low compression set silicone: the invisible guardian of automotive precision parts

Hits: 1367 img

As vehicles move toward electrification, intelligence, and new energy, the stability and durability of material properties become crucial. Low compression set silicone, a seemingly ordinary elastic material, is quietly solving numerous challenges in core automotive components with its "soft yet strong" properties. Like an all-around guardian, it empowers vehicles from engines to electronic systems, from batteries to fuel cells, extending their vitality.

Low-compression set silicone is replacing traditional rubber components in the engine compartment. Turbochargers operate in high temperatures and intense vibrations, and while ordinary rubber can easily age, harden, and even crack, low-compression set silicone maintains its flexibility over time. Even after tens of thousands of kilometers, it maintains a tight fit, preventing oil leaks and ensuring more stable engine power output.

In-vehicle sensors are the "eyes" of autonomous driving, but they operate in exceptionally harsh environments: from extreme cold to scorching heat, from bumps to vibrations. Low-compression set silicone acts like a tough armor, both flexible and durable. It absorbs vibration and insulates moisture, ensuring sensors operate accurately in complex road conditions. It acts like a body armor for precision instruments, enhancing the reliability of autonomous driving systems.

Batteries are the source of power for new energy vehicles, but high temperatures can affect their lifespan. Low-compression set silicone rubber is a master heat conductor. Its unique internal structure quickly transfers heat, keeping the battery cool. This acts like an air conditioner for the battery, allowing for faster charging and longer lifespan, allowing electric vehicles to travel farther and with greater peace of mind.

Hydrogen fuel cells are the future of clean energy, but hydrogen molecules are extremely small and prone to leakage. Low-compression set silicone rubber is a master sealant, maintaining a tight fit despite high pressure and hydrogen corrosion, creating a safety barrier for fuel cells. This breakthrough brings hydrogen-powered vehicles one step closer to large-scale adoption, making them a key component of green mobility.

From engines to sensors, from batteries to fuel cells, low-compression set silicone rubber addresses numerous pain points in precision automotive components with its softness overcoming rigidity. While it may not be as glamorous as metal parts, these "invisible guardians" make cars safer, smarter, and more environmentally friendly. As technology continues to advance, this wonder material will continue to propel the automotive industry to new heights.
