The present invention relates to a cross-linkable, elastomeric silicone composition and to a method using the composition according to the invention to form seals for sealing and assembling components of a power train. The silicone elastomers prepared from the composition according to the invention have: good resistance to ageing in chemically aggressive fluids such as those used e.g. in a power train, in this case engine oils, gearbox and axle lubricants, oil/gasoline mixtures, coolants, fuels, or antifreeze; good adhesion properties, even to surfaces soiled by the oils used in a power train; and good mechanical-strength properties, such as breaking strength, elongation at break, and Shore hardness.

Method and composition for sealing and assembling components of a power train

The present invention concerns a crosslinkable silicone elastomer composition and a method using the composition according to the invention for forming sealing gaskets and assembly seals for the components of a powertrain. The silicone elastomers prepared from the composition according to the invention have:&#x2014;good mechanical strength properties such as shore hardness, breaking strength, modulus at 100% elongation and&#x2014;good resistance to ageing in chemically aggressive fluids such as those used, for example, in a powertrain, in this case engine oils, lubricants for the gearbox and axle, oil/petrol mixtures, coolant liquids, fuels or antifreeze liquids, and&#x2014;good adhesion properties even on surfaces polluted by oils used in a powertrain.
