Fluorosilicone Engineered Elastomers from Dow Corning Deliver Innovative Solutions for Automotive Powertrain
Midland, Michigan, USA -- Dow Corning Corporation, a global leader in silicone and silicon-based technology and innovation, provides a wide range of proven engineered elastomers that deliver cost-effective powertrain solutions for todays automotive industry.
"Our high-performance Silastic brand and Dow Corning brand engineered elastomers are meeting multiple powertrain requirements for durable components with high reliability," said Ben Son, Dow Cornings Global Automotive Powertrain Systems major market leader. "With heat-resistant silicone choices and fuel-resistant fluorosilicone options, many component design engineers are specifying the tough elastomers for a variety of underhood applications."
Special Dow Corning silicone elastomers also are used as airbag and inflatable curtain fabric coatings and seam sealants. Dow Corning pioneered the use of silicones on inflatable-restraint systems and has a global leadership role in materials innovation and airbag development support services.
A primary reason Silastic and Dow Corning engineered elastomers are a popular choice as powertrain component solutions is that these tough compounds can outperform many organic polymers under harsh operating conditions. They are able to withstand increasingly higher underhood temperatures to +200°C (+392°F) and resist softening, aging and compression set. They can stay flexible in numbing cold to -40°C (-40°F) with less cracking, brittleness or hardening. They also can resist degradation from engine fluids, solvents and environmental contaminants. Many organic elastomers soften and deform at temperatures >100°C (>212°F) and become brittle at temperatures <-25°C (<-13°F).
"With our high-performance engineered elastomers, we have increasing opportunities to meet todays powertrain requirements for durable, longer-lasting components on cars and trucks, as well as two- and three-wheelers," Son said. "Dow Corning is truly one company with many automotive solutions, and we are focused on meeting the industrys needs for innovative materials, expert application assistance, and total technical service and regional support."
Dow Corning provides performance-enhancing solutions to serve the diverse needs of more than 25,000 customers worldwide. A global leader in silicones, silicon-based technology and innovation, Dow Corning offers more than 7,000 products and services through the Dow Corning and XIAMETER brands. Dow Corning is a joint venture equally owned by The Dow Chemical Company and Corning, Incorporated. More than half of Dow Cornings annual sales are outside the United States.
