Silicone in the transport sector (automotive, aeronautical, railway, naval)
The presence in the silicone transport sector is widespread, due to its versatility, durability and adaptability to the most avant-garde designs.
We can find this material in the automotive, aeronautical, railway and naval sectors in countless applications. They are located in the exteriors and interiors of the interiors of the means of transport. Due to their characteristics of excellent performance against heat, abrasion, deformation, aging and permeability, it is guaranteed that the useful life is high, that they are protected against corrosive and climatological agents, which helps to maintain the structural integrity of the vehicle, while which guarantees that all interior and exterior components remain safe and unaltered.
In Merefsa we can design any project, test and customize according to the needs of our customers.
Silicone strengths
Mechanical and electrical: Great resistance, due to its excellent deformation behavior, is ideal for impacts, sealing, maintenance of tightness and insulation against dust, salt and other weather agents. Wiring coating guaranteeing maximum electrical insulation of the components.
Thermal: unbeatable response to temperatures -60 ° C to 300 ° C makes it essential in engine sealing components, fluid circulation, combustion process joints, exposure to UV rays, etc. Low toxicity and flame retardant properties (Standard EN 45545-2).
Chemical: thanks to specific formulations of hardness, color, transparency etc., it can be adapted to any design requirement, in optics, dashboards, bodyworks ... For example, the fluoridated silicone It is used in those applications that in addition to working at high temperatures, need a high resistance to corrosion, unlike the rest of silicones, fluorosilicones can work with most solvents.
Where it is used?
It is mostly used in vehicles, public transport, ships, wagons and locomotives, cars, airplanes ...
Aplications: such as wiring, motor seals, sleeves, sealed doors and windows, hoses, dampers, radiators, optical seals, electronic seals, fillers, anti-vibration fillers, air conditioning seals ...
