    Fluoropolymers

    Design freedom, as well as confidence in the performance of your chassis and wheel designs, requires deep materials expertise – from high-temperature seals, gaskets and o-rings, to low-permeation fuel hoses that help reduce automotive emissions. Unlike anyone else, 3M reaches across industries to help you incorporate a family of fluorinated elastomers, fluoroplastics and compounds that survive heat, harsh chemicals and bone-crushing pressures.

    Our 3M™ Friction Shims help answer the demand for maximum power density – enhancing friction to transmit higher loads while enabling lightweight designs. This technology is ideal for steering and chassis designs that meet specifications for weight, torque, power density and efficiency of assembly. 3M™ Friction Shims reliably transmit up to 4X higher torque than conventional systems without requiring modifications to joint design.
