Environmental pressures and increasing fuel prices have triggered a number of major developments in the automotive industry. To achieve better fuel economy and emissions control, engineers have been evaluating replacement of mechanical systems with more efficient electronic alternatives. New regulations have provided incentives for industry developments such as hybrid cars, the use of bio-fuel, clean diesel and fuel cell technology. To meet the European directives for 'end of life vehicle', design for disassembly and re-use are also increasingly in focus. Silicone adhesives and encapsulants have been used for many years in tough automotive applications due to their physical property benefits and performance over a wide temperature range. However, several of these new industry developments are resulting in challenging technical requirements for elastomeric materials like adhesives, sealants, and protective coatings. For electronics in particular, new challenges exist in the area of heat dissipation, chemical resistance, and protection for printed circuit boards. In addition, when developing new materials, material regulations such as REACH must be taken into account. Momentive Performance Materials will present a range of silicone RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) technologies to consider for next generation automotive applications, as well as potentially high productivity solutions for existing applications.
