Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) Automotive, a market leader in the auto industry’s technology, quality and service segments, offers a diverse portfolio of products to all the major automobile and commercial vehicle manufacturers worldwide. The portfolio includes a large assortment of seals ranging from our near frictionless dynamic seal, Levitex, to static sealing solutions suited for even the harshest conditions.

As battery, fuel cell, charging and hybrid technology emerge, so does the growth in our product offerings. To meet the demands of these new systems, FST is now prepared and ready ready to support solutions that extend outward from sealing. The electrification of the vehicle creates potential needs for electromagnetic interference shielding and pressure management. For this, we now offer a wide array of EMI shielding plastics and DIAvent®, respectively. The list of our innovations is constantly growing in the fields of battery, fuel cell, e-powertrain, power electronics, engines, transmissions, suspensions, steering systems, drivetrains, climate control, & conventional fuel systems.

All of this is made possible by our cutting-edge research, absolute perfection in manufacturing and outstanding customer service. We look forward to what we can create together!

The Future Begins Now

As an innovative partner to our customers, Freudenberg provides custom-engineered materials and technology expertise to resolve all of your E-Mobility challenges.

Our portfolio on components addressing thermal management, temperature and pressure control, power densities and service improve the safety, reliability and range of electric vehicles. Our DIAvent® component, for example, offers intelligent pressure management solutions for large batteries in electric and hybrid vehicles. Specially developed heat shields for lithium-ion battery systems prevent the heat from “propagating” to neighboring cells when cells malfunction. The patented nonwovens they contain reliably ensure bi-directional pressure compensation even under extreme conditions.

Air Conditioning Seals for Climate Control

Environmentally compatible coolants place new requirements on the material and design of seals in air conditioning systems. Freudenberg Sealing Technologies has developed a range of perfectly designed seals both for the HFO 1234yf coolant selected by the European automotive industry and the R744, its alternative.

Since these coolants are expensive, it is important to minimize the leakage rate: by using air-conditioning seals from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies. Their largest benefit is their high function reliability. This applies to O-rings as well as Simmerrings and service valves. And don’t forget: whether for the HFO 1234yf or the R744 coolant – all of our seals make a contribution to increasing the efficiency of the air conditioning, thus reducing CO₂ emissions. That’s what we call classy climate control.
