Chiltern Connections

There are a number of materials used throughout the automotive industry such as silicones, conformal coatings, contact lubricants, encapsulation resins, thermal interface materials and PCB cleaners. A multitude of switches, connectors, sensors and electronics inside the cabin, under the hood and outside are exposed to changes in temperatures, humidity, condensation, pollutants, and liquids.More

 

For automotive manufacturers to be competitive - meeting consumer demands for providing safe, reliable, hard wearing, good quality and efficient vehicles - the exposed components are required to be protected by the most innovative and durable materials.
Chiltern Connections supplies Electrolube,ACC Silicones and Shin-Etsu Silicones products, providing solutions to the automotive industry in the UK and beyond.
Listed below are some of the interior, lighting, under-hood and exterior applications with examples of materials used within the automotive industry, supplied by Chiltern Connections.
