The shift toward electric mobility extends well beyond energy storage, encompassing high-voltage architectures, advanced thermal management, and enhanced cabin experiences. Fluorosilicone materials contribute across multiple vehicle systems, supporting the industry’s push toward higher efficiency, safety, and user comfort.

High-voltage electric vehicle platforms, including 800V and above, place extreme demands on electrical insulation materials. Fluorosilicone potting compounds and liquid fluorosilicone gels are specified for critical power electronics such as onboard chargers and inverters, where they provide reliable dielectric protection and thermal management in confined spaces. Fluorosilicone sealants are similarly essential for sealing high-voltage connectors and housing assemblies.

Thermal system performance depends on durable sealing solutions. Coolant loops for batteries and cabin climate systems increasingly use seals made from turbocharger hose-specific fluorosilicone rubber or equivalent materials designed to withstand modern coolants and wide temperature ranges. Low-compression-set fluorosilicone rubber is selected for components like pump seals, where long-term elasticity and leak prevention are essential.

Inside the vehicle cabin, material feel and functionality are gaining importance. Soft-touch components made from fluorosilicone millable gum or phenyl silicone rubber elastic mastic enhance the user interface of controls, sensors, and decorative elements. High-rebound fluorosilicone rubber also improves acoustic performance in speaker systems and active noise control applications. As vehicle automation advances, fluorosilicone materials are expected to see growing use in protecting sensors, actuators, and other critical autonomous driving components. These developments underscore the material’s integral role in the future of electric and automated transportation.
