The application of silica gel in automobile industry is growing rapidly. Silica gel (especially silica gel with various characteristics) can resist the erosion of fuel and lubricating oil, improve the service performance of automobile components, and reduce maintenance costs. Applications include:

• Automobile ignition wire and spark plug protective cover
• Hose for heating and radiator
• Muffler lining and battery connector
• Refueling pump made of fluorosilicone
• Filling sealant for electronic parts and electrical assembly
• Windshield glass and body sealing applications

Silica gel is widely used as insulating material in electronic components with applications including:

• TV anode cover and high voltage protection components
• Refrigerator defroster wires and power/signal transmission cables
• Conductive silica gel for electronic contact parts
• Flame retardant and radiation resistant cables for power stations
• Heating elements for precision instruments and medical devices
• Water-proof, moisture-proof filling materials

As a high-performance material, silica gel is essential for aerospace applications:

• Aircraft body cavity seals and electric connectors
• Sealing switches and dust/waterproof covers
• Jet engine O-rings and hydraulic components
• Oxygen masks and regulating diaphragms
• Radar wireless shock absorbers
• Rocket fuel valve coatings and power source cables

Silica gel's weather resistance makes it ideal for construction applications:

• Adhesive sealant for precast concrete and curtain walls
• Sealing joints in bathroom tiles and toilet appliances
• Highway joint applications
• Door and window sealing strips
• Building component weatherproofing
