NEV Drives Growth in Silicone Sealing Demand

Battery packs, motors and electronic controls in NEVs drive surging demand for seals that resist heat, aging and media corrosion. Silicone's wide-temperature stability and electrical insulation make it a key material for the three-electric sealing systems.

Industry forecasts point to a clear rise in per-vehicle silicone sealing and cushioning content as electrification and intelligence advance. Suppliers with formulation, tooling and automated-molding capabilities stand to gain most from this upgrade cycle.
