Automotive silicone is a heat-resistant & rubber-like polymer used in manufacturing lubricants, sealants, adhesives, and thermal & electrical insulation. It offers superior properties to increase the efficiency of the vehicle, for instance durability, strength, resistance, and ultraviolet resistance. Its resistance to ultraviolet radiation, abrasion, and chemicals make silicone the best choice in the automotive sector.
