Fluoropolymers help the automotive sector improve vehicle performance, safety, efficiency and durability. Their resistance to heat, fuels, chemicals and demanding operating conditions makes them valuable in both conventional and next-generation vehicles.
They also support the transition to low-carbon mobility. Fluoropolymers enable the use of alternative fuels and play an important role in electromobility, including batteries, fuel cells, gaskets and membranes. In several of these applications, they are difficult to replace without affecting performance, safety or reliability.
