Powertrain & Thermal Systems

Every powertrain and thermal system component is a candidate for better efficiency, functionality, and cost. We can help.

Materials play a critical role in helping reduce emissions, boost fuel economy, and improve efficiency and safety in powertrain technologies. We offer a broad portfolio of solutions that are capable of withstanding today’s harsh environments. Our experienced global development team will help ensure that today’s solutions are on the road tomorrow…and for years to come.

Handling today’s hotter-running engines

Modern engines generate more heat and involve more aggressive gases, fluids, and acidic gas/air mixtures, often under high pressure. Many traditional materials can no longer perform in these much hotter, confined, and stressed environments.

We offer plastics and elastomers solutions for key powertrain and thermal management systems backed by extensive materials development and testing. Our goal is to help our customers reduce vehicle weight, beat the heat, and meet legislation requirements for particulates and carbon dioxide emissions reduction.
