Damping

WACKER’s silicone fluids and liquid and solid silicone rubbers combine ideal damping properties with high durability and reliability. These features have made these products an integral part of modern automotive construction. Their superior functionality is well evidenced by their stability across a wide temperature range.

Vibration Dampers

ELASTOSIL^® liquid silicone rubbers provide ideal damping in all climates. This makes them particularly suitable for automotive vibration dampers, as they optimize noise levels to make driving a more relaxed and pleasurable experience.

Benefits

Constant damping over a wide temperature range
Rapid curing
Versatile
Self-adhesive
Non post-cure
Balanced
Enhanced abrasion resistance
High tear strength
Low compression set

Torsional Vibration Damper

Silicone fluids of the WACKER^® AK STAB series are essential components of torsional vibration dampers. They eliminate rotational vibrations in order to avoid catastrophic resonance and thus fracture of the crankshaft of vehicles with combustion engine technology. Heat-stabilized silicone fluids are in many cases an even better alternative than mechanical solutions.

Benefits

Excellent shear and heat stability
Constant rheological properties over a wide range of temperatures and frequencies
Reliable functionality over the damper's lifetime

Exhaust-Pipe Suspensions

ELASTOSIL^® solid silicone rubbers are used in exhaust pipes, where they help to absorb mechanical vibrations. They also keep the exhaust pipe at a safe distance from the underbody, without transmitting heat, and reduce noise levels by efficiently damping vibrations. WACKER silicone rubber is specially tuned to the frequency range required to filter out unwanted vibrations.

Benefits

Constant damping at both high and low temperatures and in all climate zones worldwide
Outstanding heat resistance
High dynamic loading capacity
Enhanced abrasion resistance
High tear strength
