Classification of automobile rubber products and their functions in automobiles

The rapid development of China's automobile industry promotes the development of other related supporting industries, especially the rubber industry. In recent years, automotive rubber products have developed into a unique professional products industry. Automobile rubber products are indispensable components in automobile parts. There are about 100-200 kinds of rubber products installed on each car, and about 200-500 rubber accessories are used. In addition to tires, the consumption of rubber materials varies from 15 kg to 60 kg due to different specifications of vehicles, and automotive rubber products (excluding tires) account for about 6% of the total cost of vehicles. There are more than 1000 kinds of non tire rubber products for automobile industry, with more than 8000 specifications. According to statistics, the automobile industry accounts for more than 70% of the global annual consumption of raw rubber, including 60% of tires and 40% of auto rubber parts.

High speed, safety, comfort, energy saving and environmental protection are the goals of modern automobile. With the development of automobile modernization, the requirements for automobile rubber products are becoming more and more strict. Not only rubber materials with various special properties are required to meet the new technical requirements of automobile, but also rubber materials with higher physical and mechanical properties, such as aging resistance, high and low temperature resistance, new fuel resistance, excellent dynamic fatigue performance and durable service life. In fact, every high performance of modern automobile depends on the technical progress of rubber products to provide protection. The performance and quality of rubber products play a key role in improving the quality level of automobile. It is worth noting that rubber products always play the role of accessories, but this accessory always affects the technical progress and technical level of the host. Therefore, it can be said that the technology and quality of automobile rubber products can basically reflect the technical level of automobile.

In order to meet the increasingly strict and demanding quality requirements of automotive rubber products, the company not only constantly strengthens and improves the management rules, but also equipped with advanced rubber performance testing laboratory, which provides the feasibility of implementing various rubber performance testing schemes for the majority of automotive rubber products customers, and strictly controls the rubber performance from the objective index.

In the automotive industry, rubber products can be roughly divided into seven categories: tires, sealing products, shock absorption products, safety products, tape products, hose products and other products, such as wiper, fender, adhesive, sealant and interior products.
