With the development of the automobile industry, the demand for special rubber for automobiles is increasing. At present, the localization rate of my country's special rubber is not high and it relies heavily on imports. Related domestic enterprises and research institutes are actively tackling key problems and making breakthroughs in some fields.
So, what is the development status of my country's automotive special rubber industry? Where is the focus of research and development? How will we speed up the pace of localization? This article will analyze it for you.
Currently, due to the continuous improvement of automobile performance and the increasing ambient temperature of automobile parts, the development and application of new high-performance raw materials with excellent oil resistance and high temperature resistance have become an important issue in the automobile rubber parts production industry. However, my country's special rubber relies heavily on imports, and it is urgent to increase research efforts to change this situation.
There is a huge demand for special rubber for automobiles
With the upgrading of the automobile market and the rise of domestic brands, my country's automobile industry is in a period of shifting gears and speeding up. Vehicles have put forward higher requirements for the performance and quality of rubber products, and rubber parts need to greatly improve their heat resistance. , cold resistance, oil resistance, aging resistance and other indicators.
Rubber accessories originally made of general-purpose rubber can no longer meet current usage requirements and must be replaced by special rubber.
"Special rubber for automobiles refers to rubber with the characteristics of high temperature resistance, oil resistance, ozone resistance, aging resistance and high air tightness. It is mainly used in special occasions that meet certain special requirements." Zhao Hongguo, senior engineer at PetroChina Lanzhou Chemical Research Center explain. It is understood that special rubber products for automobiles are important accessories for automobiles. Various rubber products for automobiles are not only large in quantity but also demanding. At present, each car uses 400 to 500 special rubber parts, weighing about 40kg (excluding tires), accounting for 4% to 5% of the entire vehicle, and its output value accounts for 6% of the total output value of auto parts.
Industry insiders said that special synthetic rubber for automobiles has excellent performance and has always been the darling of the market, with high prices. New technologies have promoted the rapid development of special rubber. The consumption of special synthetic rubber for vehicles has increased year by year, and new special rubber materials have also been continuously developed. At present, the consumption of special rubber in the automobile industry has reached 70% to 80% of the total rubber consumption of non-tire rubber products.
