Automotive manufacturers are consistently reducing the size of the power trains and engines to reduce fuel consumption. Unfortunately, this results in increased temperatures and material stress within confined areas.
Elevated temperatures and corrosive fumes and fluids rapidly degrade ordinary elastomer materials. Hence the need for made-to-purpose rubber compound materials that adhere to customer specifications.
There is a distinct trend to reduce maintenance requirements and enhance the performance of internal combustion engines between service visits. However, this demands high-reliability parts that can withstand the inhospitable high temperatures and caustic fumes in the engine/power train environment. Therefore, there is a need to prepare for higher alcohol content in the fuel mix and prevent the destruction of elastomeric components.
The popularizing of Electric vehicles will extend the interval between service visits even more since they have very few moving parts and no internal combustion that generates fumes and high temperatures. Moreover, in the case of hybrid vehicles, fuel tends to remain in the tanks for longer durations (due to lower fuel consumption). Such elongation of fuel presence in the tank demands stronger multilayer bonding.
Our R&D Labs have been the fountainhead of innumerable innovative Elastomer products widely accepted and used in industries such as Automotives, Oil & Gas, Building & Construction, Mining and Industrial Machinery, Chemical Processing Industries, & Wearables etc.
