Meet market specifications for demanding spark plug boot applications

With proven XIAMETER^® brand silicone high-consistency rubber (HCR) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) elastomers, you can fabricate spark plug boots that:

• Meet market demand for long-lasting, low-maintenance components
• Provide critical dielectric (electrical insulating) protection required for automotive high-voltage cables, even in tight clearances against engine block
• Maintain physical and dielectric properties over wide temperature ranges from -40 to 200ºC (-40 to 392ºF)
• Provide long-term heat resistance
• Withstand oil contact that would degrade organic materials

Gain manufacturing productivity

Learn from our fabrication experts how you can:  

• Mold complex shapes to meet precise specifications and tolerances
• Utilize LSRs for maximum process efficiency
• Improve productivity with overmolding techniques
• Achieve better-quality consistency
