Silicone RTV Technologies for Next Generation Automotive Applications
ABSTRACT
Environmental pressures and increasing fuel prices have triggered a number of major developments in the automotive industry. To achieve better fuel economy and emissions control, engineers have been evaluating replacement of mechanical systems with more efficient electronic alternatives. New regulations have provided incentives for industry developments such as hybrid cars, the use of bio-fuel, clean diesel and fuel cell technology. To meet the European directives for "end of life vehicle", design for disassembly and re-use are also increasingly in focus.

Momentive presents optimised fully-fluorinated LSR family
LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY — OCTOBER 14, YEAR
Momentive Performance Materials today presents its new, further-improved FFSL 70x1 range of fully-fluorinated liquid silicone rubber products. These new fluoro silicones succeed in combining excellent suitability for non-polar media such as fuels, lubricants and oils with cost-efficient fully automated manufacturing using conventional LSR process and cold runner technology for flash-less and trim-free parts within very short cycle times. The resistance to the different media and physical material characteristics are similar to those of conventional fluorovinylmethyl silicone (FVMQ). However, the poly addition system developed for this material guarantees much faster polymerisation than conventional, peroxide cross-linked FVMQ materials. The low viscosity attained also ensures the compatibility to basic principles of the mass-production applications of LSRs.

Momentive’s New SPUR+* Prepolymers Offer High Tensile Strength for Next-Generation Structural Adhesives
LEVERKUSEN, GERMANY — OCTOBER 9, 2008
Momentive Performance Materials will introduce two breakthrough prepolymers for industrial adhesives formulations at the Adhesive and Sealants Council’s 2008 Fall Convention & Expo in Baltimore, Maryland, October 12th to 14th, 2008. SPUR+ 3100HM prepolymer and SPUR+ 3200HM prepolymer will join Momentive’s highly successful SPUR+ family of silylated polyurethane resins. These high modulus prepolymers are excellent candidates to be considered for use as binding agents that can help formulators of structural adhesives achieve high tensile strength, without primers for most substrates, in both one- and two-part adhesive formulations.
