Continuing Solutions for Internal Combustion Engine Designs (ICE)

  • Like you, we have spent decades helping improve and maximize both the manufacturing and performance of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. Our well-established portfolios in thermally conductive and structural adhesives are just the beginning. 3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoropolymer technology helps OEMs meet regulations for evaporative emissions worldwide. We deliver 3M™ Interam™ Mat Mount and Thermal Insulation materials for higher performance in converters and emission control systems. From one end of the powertrain to the other, 3M helps advance ICE vehicles through a network of application development and testing facilities worldwide.


ICE Solutions from Engine to Exhaust

Precision. Performance. Efficiency. Explore how 3M can help you maximize your ICE vehicle designs.

    Emission Control - Evaporative

    3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroplymers are used in parts such as seals, gaskets and hoses that must survive heat, harsh chemicals and bone-crushing pressures. 3M™ Dyneon™ Fluoroelastomers (FKM) and Fluorothermoplastic (THV) materials allow designers to create low-permeation fuel hoses that help reduce automotive emissions and help meet global evaporative emissions standards, including fast-evolving standards such as China 6 and India’s BS6.

    Featuring our 3M™ Interam™ Brand Products, our ICE emission control solutions include intumescent, non-intumescent, hybrid mat mounts and thermal insulation engineered to suit nearly any catalytic converter assembly. All are available with testing resources, concept consultation, in-depth design expertise and technical support throughout all phases of ICE emission control system design and validation.

    Thermal Management

    Our 3M™ Interam™ Mat Mount and Thermal Insulation solutions include endcone insulation, heat-shield insulation, erosion protection materials and more. 3M™ Boron Nitride Cooling Fillers promote thermal conductivity in materials like thermoplastics and elastomers, which is ideal for designing small, lightweight components that remain cool under pressure. We support each solution with complete material and assembly testing capabilities and facilities for gasoline and diesel applications.
