Rubber Material

Seals and gaskets are critical components in every vehicle. They prevent fluid leaks, protect engine and mechanical parts from dust and contaminants, reduce vibration and noise, and ensure the overall reliability of the vehicle. The performance of these components is highly dependent on the choice of rubber material. Automotive environments are often harsh, exposing rubber to heat, oils, fuels, ozone, and mechanical stress. Selecting the right material ensures that seals and gaskets maintain their function over the vehicle’s lifespan while reducing maintenance and failure risks. Key Requirements for Automotive Rubber Components Automotive seals and gaskets must combine flexibility, chemical resistance, compression set resistance, and durability. They should maintain a tight seal under pressure and vibration, and resist degradation from oils, fuels, and environmental exposure. The material must remain elastic across a wide temperature range to provide reliable sealing in both hot engin...
