Technical rubber and silicone parts for the automotive industry
CHEVALIER CLERET ELTEC is a recognised partner of automotive equipment manufacturers and subcontractors for the manufacture of technical rubber and silicone parts. Our components are used in constrained environments, for essential functions linked to sealing, damping and filtration.
Expertise in elastomer injection for the automotive industry
We master the processes of rubber injection, LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) injection, injection with overmoulding (on metal, thermoplastic or glass inserts) to produce technical parts that meet the strict standards of the automotive sector.
The materials used include:
- Silicone LSR or HCR (temperature resistance, high elongation),
- FKM / VITON (excellent chemical and thermal resistance),
- HNBR (high thermal and chemical resistance),
- EPDM (resistance to ageing, ozone),
- CR (Chloroprene) (ozone resistance and good mechanical properties),
- NBR (nitrile) (resistance to oils, certain gases)
Automotive applications covered
Our parts are used in various vehicle systems:
Automotive series production: flexibility and robustness
We support our customers from the prototype phase through to series production, with manufacturing capacities ranging from a few hundred to several million parts a year. Our production units in France and Romania are equipped for semi-automatic or fully automatic production runs, guaranteeing productivity, traceability and consistent quality.
We seek out the technical and economic solutions best suited to our customers’ needs and requirements. Our IATF 16949 quality certification since 2004 is a major asset in this market.
