When we think of rubber in the automotive sector, tyres are usually the first thing that comes to mind. However, a vehicle incorporates many other rubber and silicone components that perform essential functions in safety, sealing, fluid transfer, insulation, and comfort.

Properties of CONIEX Masterbatches

Thanks to its in-house technical expertise and decades of experience in developing silicone blends, CONIEX manufactures compounds capable of meeting the demands of the automotive sector.

These materials are designed to provide high resistance to oils, fuels, heat, and temperature variations. Particularly noteworthy are fluorinated rubber-based compounds, manufactured on dedicated production lines, which are especially suitable for high-performance technical applications.

Applications in the Automotive Sector

CONIEX compounds are mainly used in powertrain gaskets and sealing systems, as well as in fluid transfer, damping, and anti-vibration mount applications.

The most common components include:

• Fuel lines
• Turbocharger hoses
• Fuel diaphragms
• Cylinder head gaskets
