Silicone rubber is an indispensable material for the manufacturers of automotive and transportation vehicles. The automotive silicone market grows annually due to silicone’s stability and other advantages, including weather resistance, high temperature resistance and moisture resistance. As a sustainable material to replace plastic, silicone is widely applied to different types of automotive parts.
Silicone Properties in Automotive Industry
As the sustainable movement rises up, the eco-friendly feature of silicone makes it a main choice for electronic vehicles (EVs) manufactures. The use of silicone also improves product performance and safety.
