Consumers expect more than ever from their vehicles. The automotive industry has had to respond with durable manufacturing that operates with unparalleled performance. We are now seeing the best production of automobiles in history. However, none of this improvement would be possible without perhaps the most unappreciated component: silicone.
Silicone quality has advanced tremendously in response to the drastic increase in demand for vehicle performance. Manufactures, like SiTECH, have partnered with the automotive industry to ensure that automobiles last longer and drive better.
Silicone Uses in Vehicles
Everything from engine gaskets to windshield washer fluid demands the versatile use of silicone:
- Airbags
- Battery sealing
- Computer systems
- Engine gaskets
- Headlamps
- Hosing
- Ignition wiring
- Radiator sealing
- Shock absorbers
- Spark plug boots
Performance and Durability
Car engines have never operated so reliably as they do now. Silicone’s incredible temperature resistance (600°F to -148°F) and unmatched weathering capabilities have made it the key material throughout the inner workings of the car; and, with its High Tear Strength, you can expect it to last.
Improved Electronics and Computer Systems
From the start of the microchip, silicone has been used in computer parts. With the increased interest in electric cars, silicone is being used to protect and form these advanced engines in bold new ways. Even gas-fueled vehicles are using advanced computer systems! Though silicone is temperature and moisture resistant, it is able to take many different forms. This feature is what has made the element very attractive to different industries, especially the automotive industry which increasingly looks to silicone for electrical performance and protection.
Automobiles have changed astronomically in the last decade, and this will continue in the future. For this reason, silicone manufactures are adapting and innovating alongside the best industries. At SiTECH, our state-of-the-art silicone products are durable and high-quality, customizable down to any desired specs and features. We combine hardware and software to delight consumers and manufacturers alike, helping to produce automobiles and machinery that rival any competitor.
