Designing Custom Silicone Parts for Under‑the‑Hood Automotive Environments
This technical design guide helps automotive engineers and product developers create reliable custom silicone parts for under-the-hood environments. Learn how to address extreme heat, chemical exposure, vibration, and pressure through proper material grades (including fluorosilicone), durometer, geometry, and manufacturing processes for components like valve cover gaskets, coolant hoses, and exhaust hangers.
