The well known under-bonnet temperature increase has been resolved mainly by using high-performance polymers with the capability of withstanding temperatures in excess of 200°C. Some of the rubber mouldings commonly encountered in a car include O-rings, seals and grommets. Rubber mouldings are required to resist oils and greases as well as dirt, water, and weathering. Many custom rubber moulding solutions are subject to dynamic loading, including engine mounts and exhaust hangers. Applications requiring the best oil and chemical resistance and good ageing in hot fuel vapours are accommodated using high-performance fluoro (FKM) and fluorosilicone (FVMQ) elastomers. The bonding of rubber to other substrates is a crucial part of being able to offer novel solutions.

Many industries rely on the performance & quality of rubber sheeting. None more so than the automotive industry, starting with car tyres. Over the years, under-bonnet temperatures have been increasing with evermore aerodynamic car design. In conjunction with this, the demand for a more comfortable passenger space has been growing, making selecting materials supercritical. DLR can meet these ever-changing requirements by offering products that can provide traceability throughout the supply chain. As rubber sheeting specialists we are firmly in the driving seat, leading the way in novel solutions for the automotive industry.
