Silicone Compounds for Electric Mobility

Silicone rubber has accompanied the evolution of internal combustion engines over the past decades thanks to its well-known properties, such as heat and permanent deformation resistance, electrical insulation, and flexibility—even at low temperatures. Typical applications include hoses, gaskets, connectors, wiring, and mounts—everything generally exposed to the hottest environments within vehicles.

However, the rise of electric vehicles in recent years has introduced new construction models, increasingly complex challenges, and consequently, new technical requirements. Today, silicone rubbers must offer high thermal conductivity, electromagnetic shielding capabilities, high purity, resistance to extremely low temperatures, self-lubricating properties, and low viscosity to accommodate increasingly sophisticated designs.

Applications range from sealing gaskets and flexible housings to protect sensitive electronic components, battery packs, and motors from moisture, dust, and contaminants, to wiring and connectors that safeguard electrical components from short circuits and enhance overall vehicle safety. Additionally, silicone is used in fuel cell components to ensure high-pressure hydrogen sealing, as well as in anti-vibration elements for a smoother and quieter driving experience.

MESGO is ready to support you in designing all these new components, thanks to strong partnerships with leading silicone polymer suppliers, cutting-edge instrumentation, and a model driven by innovation.
