Fluorosilicones (FVMQ) play an increasingly significant role in automotive applications. Reason for this are their fuel and oil resistance paired with excellent low temperature flexibility and their broad application temperature range. Supporting trends in automotive are global specifications (fuels, temperatures), tighter emission regulations (valves in fuel system), higher engine efficiencies (increasing temperatures, complex air-intake systems) and many more. One of the most aggressive fluids in automotive (blow-by-gas) is successfully handled by Fluorosilicone parts. Fluorinated liquid silicone rubbers drive new and innovative applications mainly in hard-soft- combinations. GE Silicones is known as relevant and experienced manufacturer of these high-tech elastomer grades and continues their evolution together with customers and end-users in new developments.
