Silicone rubber is widely used in automobiles, mainly due to its excellent properties such as high temperature resistance, cold resistance, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, good sealing, and long service life. The following is a detailed summary of the main applications of silicone in automobiles:< br>
1、 Seals and sealing materials
Sealing ring: Silicone sealing rings are mainly used for sealing components such as oil pipes and cylinder gaskets, ensuring that liquids such as oil and fuel do not leak and maintaining the normal operation of engine components< br>
Sealing strip: Silicone sealing strips are commonly used in car windows, doors, and other parts to provide sound insulation, noise reduction, waterproofing, dust prevention, shock absorption, and improve the comfort and sealing of vehicles< br>
2、 Pipes and connectors
Silicone tubing: used for transporting liquids such as oil and water, such as the fuel lines and glass water pipes of gasoline and diesel vehicles. Silicone tubing has characteristics such as high and low temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance, ensuring smooth and safe liquid transmission< br>
Turbocharging tube: Silicone material is commonly used in turbocharging systems due to its high temperature and high pressure resistance, ensuring smooth transmission of high-temperature and high-pressure gases< br>
3、 Shock absorption and protection
Shock absorption material: Silicone is commonly used in automotive shock absorption systems, such as shock pads, shock absorbers, etc., due to its good elasticity and impact resistance, to enhance the driving stability and riding comfort of vehicles< br>
Protective materials: silica gel is also used to make protective materials in the battery management system to ensure the sealing and buffering effect of the power battery under extreme conditions such as rainstorm, shoal and haze< br>
4、 Electronic and electrical components
Insulation material: Silicone is commonly used as an insulation layer for automotive electronic and electrical components due to its excellent electrical insulation properties, ensuring the safe operation of circuits< br>
Sensors: Silicone is also used to make automotive sensors, such as temperature sensors, pressure sensors, etc. Its high and low temperature resistance and corrosion resistance can ensure the long-term stable operation of sensors< br>
