Automotive Anti-Vibration Rubber Parts


Automotive anti-vibration rubber parts are widely used in personal and commercial vehicles to minimize noise and vibration for occupants, as well as to protect and extend the life of electrical and mechanical components. Often referred to as NVH (Noise, Vibration and Harshness) parts, anti-vibration rubber parts can greatly enhance the cabin experience and enhance overall vehicle reliability and performance.

Materials used to manufacture automotive anti-vibration rubber parts

Compounds that CRG often works with to produce anti-vibration rubber parts include the following:

  • Fluoroelastomers, including Viton®

  • AEM (Ethylene Acrylic Elastomer), including Vamac®

  • Nitrile (NBR) and Hydrogenated Nitrile (HNBR)

  • EPDM

Fluoroelastomers, such as Viton®, are extremely effective in vehicle applications where extremes of heat, chemicals, fuel mixtures, and fuel additives are present.

AEM is an advanced elastomer that is engineered for superior thermal and chemical resistance. Vamac® is an AEM that is widely used in automotive applications. Automotive rubber parts made from Vamac® demonstrate superior longevity in powertrain, air management, and other vehicle applications where parts are exposed to chemical and environmental attack.

Nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) is a resilient material that offers good resistance to oils and acids. HNBR is hydrogenated nitrile butadiene rubber.

EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) is a synthetic rubber that lends itself to a variety of automotive applications. It has excellent resistance to many chemicals, as well as ozone and weathering.
