Technology in the Specialist Automotive industry is fast evolving – the latest Formula 1 innovations will appear in production models just a few years later.

Clwyd Compounders aim to be at the forefront – we supply compounds used by a number of teams, and have an extensive portfolio of high performance elastomers, offering the ultimate in petro-chemical and high temperature resistance to meet the demands of this market.

In Formula 1, cost is not the dominant concern. Where cost is key, we can provide compounds suitable for co-extrusion and co-moulding, where cheaper polymer compound is used to support a high performance polymer compound which provides the operating surface. We maintain a close working relationship with our suppliers, sourcing and developing the latest polymers to provide the best possible chemical and physical properties suitable for components in this industry.

NBR, HNBR, FKM and VMQ (silicon) are widely used in this industry.
