Design engine mounts that isolate noise and vibration

Tightening engine compartment clearances and higher engine temperatures create challenging specifications for your engine support applications. With proven Silastic® brand silicone high-consistency rubber (HCR) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) elastomers, you can fabricate engine mounts that:

• Maintain mechanical properties over wide temperature ranges, from -40 to 200º C (-40 to 392ºF)
• Exhibit long-term heat aging resistance
• Can be tailored or custom compounded to meet extreme or extended heat-resistance requirements
• Provide noise and vibration dampening
• Withstand under-vehicle environmental hazards including corrosive road salts and aggressive oils

Custom compounds for design-specific solutions

You can rely on Dow Corning's elastomer expertise and familiarity with automotive industry needs and expectations. With material and adhesion expertise, our fabrication experts will help you:

• Meet increasingly challenging temperature resistance and noise specifications
• Custom compound Silastic silicone high-consistency rubber (HCR) elastomers with specific dynamic performance properties
• Attain better quality consistency
• Improve  productivity with overmolding techniques for metal parts.
