3M's contributions to the automotive powertrain and chassis run the gamut from catalytic converter mounting systems to diesel particulate filters; from fluoropolymers for hoses, gaskets and seals to vibration damping polymers.
3M provides the answer to catalytic converter mounting challenges with its Interam mat mounting and insulation system. The product is used to secure the ceramic monolith inside the converter and for endcone insulation for internally insulated converters.
These microencapsulated adhesives enhance the anchorage of threaded fasteners. The adhesive, coated on fasteners and dried, remains dormant until the shearing action breaks the capsules and allows the adhesive to cure at room temperature.
