Automotive rubber trends

Automotive rubber parts for the automotive vibration, noise and improve vehicle stability and driving comfort, and so plays a significant role. General Motors of the relatively large amount of rubber material, but as in recent years toward high-power engine, the direction of small-scale development, the environment around the engine temperature, exhaust control regulations more stringent requirements, combined with the use of alcohol fuel, forcing the rubber Increase the heat-resistant parts, the hardy, oil, and other anti-aging properties. Therefore, special high-performance synthetic rubber increased usage, these cars are special synthetic rubber major markets. As a result, automobile rubber types of plastic will have a good performance special plastic direction.

Rubber raw materials increased to improve the life of rubber parts, at present, oil seal life in general more than 250,000 km, the fan life with up to 100,000 km. According to Dunlop research and analysis company in the future in the auto industry, ACM has the most promising, fluorine rubber, silicone rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer, epichlorohydrin rubber and polyurethane rubber consumption is also increasing. At present, the use of acrylic rubber-made auto parts are the main engine oil seal, cylinder head gasket and oil cooler hoses, exhaust hoses, transmission, oil seals and O-ring, and so on. Used car fluoride pumps have been sealed plastic pieces, stem seal, after the crankshaft oil seal, valve, single patch, tube and cylinder liner O-ring, and so on. Expected, with the exception of cylinder pad, a variety of pads may be made with silicone rubber.

China's automotive-specific varieties of rubber less specifications, and the quality of instability, poor technology performance, the vehicle can not meet the demand for rubber, in particular the introduction of models made of rubber required is the lack of raw materials, rubber, imports only, and the main Had to be imported acrylate rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer, hydrogenated nitrile rubber, oil and silicone rubber, butyl rubber, thermoplastic rubber and fluorine rubber, rubber 7.
