The future of mobility is being redefined with the paradigm shift from traditional internal combustion technology to steadily growing and continually evolving electric vehicle technology. As advancements in e-mobility are made, the intrinsic need for advanced materials is ever present and growing. Safety, reliability and performance continue to remain driving forces in the specification of polymers in e-mobility applications.

Some of the material characteristics that are key to addressing and solving such complex challenges include:

• High Thermal Stability
• Low compression set without post-cure
• Self-lubricating properties
• Low viscosity
• Fast cure
• Low modulus
• Increased crack resistance
• Outstanding resistance to aging
• Easy to color
• Self-bonding
• Thermal conductivity
• Excellent electrically insulating properties
• Dielectric strength

E-Mobility applications

Learn more about solutions provided by MOMENTIVE. For example, the Silopren LSR 3000 Series of self-lubricating LSRs have a long track record of success with all major tiers and OEMs in single-wire seals, radial seals, and matseal systems or family-seals used in electrical connector applications. Grades are now available with low volatiles, low compression set and/or long-term heat stability.

The Silplus family of heat-cured rubbers can be extruded using conventional rubber processing equipment, creating the potential to assist our customers in effectively meeting a range of cost, durability and mechanical performance standards as it relates to the e-mobility segment.
