Silicones for Automotive Electronics
The automotive electronics industry is undergoing a paradigm shift. Significant changes to the powertrain have become necessary to take the next big step in CO2 reduction. This can only be achieved by introducing new technologies and propulsion concepts. The migration from internal combustion engines to full electric vehicles (EVs) is progressing in steps; 48V electrical systems will pave the way for medium voltage HEVs (hybrid electric vehicles) and high voltage, full electric vehicles.

Automotive Specialty Applications
Engine noise and automotive component vibrations are not things you want to hear when you go for a ride in your vehicle. Having an elastomeric coating added to your components is an excellent way to reduce NVH – noise, vibration and harshness – as well as to provide resistance against underbody chips. Both SPUR+* 3030 prepolymer and CoatOSil* DRI waterborne silicone resin are excellent candidates for these applications.
