This presentation aims to demonstrate the various ways Fluorosilicone Elastomers can offer innovations to the Automotive Industry and provide answers for new challenges. After an introduction of Fluorosilicone chemistry and definitions, we will present benefits of this material class and show typical applications in the automotive industry that can make the most out of this technology, in the current environments and in the future. To design emission reduction technologies, we need new materials, such as the new Silastic 100% F-LSR: a range of products combining Fluorosilicone rubber properties (broad temperature range + fluid resistance) and Liquid Injection molding technologies (LSR productivity). Developments for Turbo charger Hoses and Exhaust gas Recirculation will demonstrate the progress made in terms of fluid and temperature resistance in combination with optimized processing behavior. Sustainable Innovation is not only a matter of offering new products or improved material performances, it should combine material improvements and intimate market understanding to offer solutions responding exactly to new application challenges.
