Applications for silicone materials within automotive continue to expand due to their versatile nature and physical properties. For example, they can remain elastic at high temperatures whilst retaining adhesion, provide protection from harsh environments, conduct unwanted heat away from components and impart gloss, shine and water repellence to aftermarket car care products.

They can be used under the bonnet, on the drive train, in the cabin and on the bodywork in both conventional and electric & hybrid vehicles of all types. Silicone product types include, adhesives, sealants, coatings, thermal transfer materials, potting compounds, gels, greases, liquid silicone rubber (LSR), antifoams, emulsions and silicone fluids. CHT have an extensive range of silicones and are always willing to develop others for your specific application if needed.
