Challenges of high temperature and extreme environment resistance

Automotive parts are often exposed to extreme temperatures and harsh environments. Ensuring that silicone parts maintain stable performance under conditions of heat, cold, humidity, and chemical corrosion is a major challenge.

High sealing performance requirements

Automobile engines, transmission systems, and electronic components have extremely high requirements for sealing. Any leakage may cause performance problems or safety hazards. Ensuring the durability and reliability of silicone seals in long-term use is an important pain point in the customization process.

Complex geometric design

As car designs become more complex, silicone parts need to be able to adapt to complex geometries and maintain their functionality during assembly, which places higher demands on the flexibility and processing technology of silicone materials.

Wear resistance and life

Auto parts are often subject to mechanical wear during use, especially those silicone parts that are in motion or frequently in contact with other parts. Improving the wear resistance of silicone parts and extending their service life are issues that must be considered when customizing silicone solutions.

Material compatibility

When silicone is used in combination with other materials (such as metals and plastics), the compatibility between the materials must be considered to avoid performance problems or failures caused by material incompatibility.

Electrical Connectors

In automotive electrical systems, silicone overmolding is often used to protect electrical connectors. By coating metal or plastic connectors with silicone, it can improve their insulation, waterproofness and corrosion resistance, ensuring the stability and safety of the electrical system.

Shock absorbing parts

Silicone overmolding is also used to manufacture a variety of vibration-absorbing components, such as engine mounts, suspension systems, and interior noise reduction parts. The elasticity and durability of silicone materials enable them to effectively absorb vibration and shock, improve ride comfort and extend component life.

Sensor protection

The camera lens is the core component of the camera. The surrounding silicone coating can protect the lens from scratches and collisions.

Buttons and controls

In various automotive sensors (such as temperature, pressure and speed sensors), the silicone overmolding process provides a protective shell to prevent the external environment from affecting the sensor, ensuring its accuracy and reliability.

Buttons and control panel

Silicone encapsulation technology is also widely used in buttons and control panels in cars. These components are not only required to be durable, but also need to have a good feel and aesthetics. The softness and wear resistance of silicone make it an ideal material.

Excellent waterproof performance

The silicone encapsulation process forms an effective waterproof barrier for the connector by covering the outer layer of the connector with a layer of tightly fitting silicone. Even in a humid, rainy or flooded environment, the silicone layer can still prevent moisture from intruding and ensure the stable operation of electronic components.

Excellent weather resistance

Cars travel under different climate conditions, and connectors need to withstand the test of various environmental factors such as high temperature, low temperature, and ultraviolet rays. Silicone material has excellent weather resistance, which can maintain its physical properties unchanged and extend the service life of the connector.

Flexibility and shock resistance

Due to the flexibility of silicone, it can adapt well to the complex shape of the connector and absorb vibration and shock. The inevitable vibration when the car is driving may affect the connector. The silicone encapsulation process can effectively reduce the damage to the connector caused by mechanical stress and ensure the reliability of the electrical connection.

Environmental protection and safety

Silicone materials are non-toxic and harmless, meeting the strict requirements of the modern automotive industry for environmental protection and safety. The silicone encapsulation process not only improves product quality, but also meets the industry's high standards for environmental protection.

1. Material selection and formula customization
Based on the specific needs of the automotive industry, we select suitable silicone materials to ensure that they have excellent temperature resistance, aging resistance and chemical corrosion resistance. Our material scientists and engineers will customize the best formula according to different application scenarios to meet customers' high standards for performance and quality.

2. Precision mold development
The precision of the mold determines the quality of the final product. We use advanced CNC machining and EDM technology to design and manufacture high-precision molds to ensure that every detail of the silicone product meets strict tolerance requirements. During the mold development process, we maintain close communication with customers to ensure that the mold design meets the installation and use requirements of automotive parts.

3. Molding process
For different automotive parts, we select the most suitable molding process, including liquid injection molding (LIM), compression molding and transfer molding. During the molding process, silicone is precisely molded into the required structure under heating and pressure to ensure that it can maintain stable performance under extreme temperature and pressure environments.

4. Post-processing and surface treatment
In order to enhance the performance of silicone products, we perform necessary post-processing on the molded products, such as removing flash, polishing, coating, etc. These steps not only improve the appearance of the product, but also enhance its durability and weather resistance, ensuring its long-term use in harsh automotive environments.

5. Quality Inspection and Control
Every silicone product undergoes strict quality inspection before leaving the factory. We use advanced testing equipment to conduct multiple performance tests such as size, hardness, tensile strength, etc. to ensure that the products meet the stringent standards of the automotive industry. Through sophisticated testing processes, we are able to provide silicone parts with reliable quality and stable performance.

6. Packaging and Logistics
In order to ensure the safety of products during transportation and storage, we use professional packaging solutions to ensure that silicone products remain in perfect condition when they reach customers. Our efficient logistics network can deliver on time to meet customers' urgent needs.
