The transportation industry relies on materials that deliver long‑term reliability under constant vibration, temperature extremes, fluid exposure, and demanding regulatory requirements. Silicone elastomers—especially specification‑grade, aerospace‑grade, and fuel‑resistant formulations—play a critical role in sealing, insulation, gasketing, vibration control, and component protection across automotive, heavy‑truck, rail, marine, and aviation platforms. ElastaPro manufactures U.S.‑made silicone sheet and uncured compounds engineered to meet the specifications required for modern transportation systems.
High‑Temperature Silicone for Engines & Powertrains
Automotive and heavy‑truck powertrains expose elastomers to sustained heat, thermal cycling, and mechanical stress. ElastaPro’s general‑purpose and specification‑grade silicone sheets provide continuous service from –80°F to +450°F, with intermittent performance up to 500°F. These materials maintain elasticity, resist cracking, and deliver stable sealing performance in:
Engine‑bay gaskets
Heat‑shield insulation pads
Under‑hood electrical enclosures
Turbocharger and exhaust‑system components
Many grades meet A‑A‑59588, ASTM D2000, and UL 94HB, supporting compliance with common automotive and industrial transportation standards.
Fuel‑Resistant Silicone for Rail, Marine & Heavy Equipment
Rail systems, marine engines, and industrial vehicles often require elastomers that withstand fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids, and solvents. ElastaPro supplies fluorosilicone (FVMQ) materials engineered specifically for fuel resistance, making them ideal for:
Fuel‑system gaskets
Solvent‑exposed seals
Valve and pump diaphragms
High‑pressure hydraulic components
Fluorosilicone grades such as AMS3325–3327 provide excellent stability in diesel, jet fuel, aromatic hydrocarbons, and aggressive lubricants—critical for long‑life transportation components.
Aerospace‑Grade Silicone for Commercial & Defense Aviation
Aviation platforms demand materials that meet strict aerospace specifications for thermal endurance, compression set, flame resistance, and fluid compatibility. ElastaPro manufactures AMS and BMS silicone sheeting and uncured compounds used across commercial aircraft, defense systems, and advanced air‑mobility platforms.
Key specifications include:
AMS3301–3305 general‑purpose aerospace silicones
AMS3335 high‑strength silicone
AMS3325–3327 fuel‑resistant fluorosilicone
BMS 1‑52, 1‑57, 1‑71, 1‑76 Boeing‑grade silicones
These materials support avionics sealing, environmental barriers, vibration isolation, and fuel‑system components. Every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis and is manufactured under AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015 certified quality systems.
Silicone for EVs & Advanced Transportation Systems
Electric vehicles, battery‑electric buses, and next‑generation mobility systems require materials that withstand electrical stress, thermal management cycles, and outdoor exposure. Silicone’s dielectric strength, UV resistance, and long‑term stability make it ideal for:
Battery‑enclosure gaskets
Power‑electronics sealing
Thermal‑interface pads
Charging‑infrastructure components
Platinum‑cured silicones offer purity, low outgassing, and excellent mechanical stability—critical for EV safety and reliability.
