Dow article about the growing use of the company’s Silastic fluorosilicone rubber in automotive turbocharger hoses
Demand for fluorosilicone rubber in this area is being driven by the evolution of powertrain technology and EU regulatory requirements to reduce CO2 emissions, notes Dow.
‘These developments make acid-resistance caused by exhaust gas recirculation a much more important consideration for turbocharger hoses’ added Bruno Cuocci Dow Silicones Technical Specialist.
