DuPont Performance Elastomers Provides Unseen Protection in Chassis Applications

One route to a quieter, safer ride lies beneath the vehicle. Long term reliability is the key for critical elastomer components used in braking, steering, and suspension systems. Chassis components were among the earliest automotive applications for products of DuPont Performance Elastomers.

Chassis and Underbody Applications

Today's list of uses for the chassis and underbody system includes a wide range of specialized part and assemblies, many designed for long term noise attenuation and vibration control. Shock absorber seals, CVJ boots and liners, vibration mounts and air springs are major contributors to the smooth, silent ride so important to the modern passenger car. Hoses, cups and boots of Neoprene polychloroprene provide worry-free performance in critical braking and steering systems. Elastomeric covers of Hypalon® chlorosulfonated polyethylene protect polyamide fuel lines.
