Synthetic leathers made from silicone (Si) have superior tactile feel, durability, recyclability, ease of cleaning and inherent fire resistance, but have poor abrasion and cratch resistance due to the inherent properties of silicones. LuxSense is a first of its kind silicone-organic hybrid synthetic leather that combines the benefits of both to become the first synthetic leather that competes with authentic leather on performance, and exceeds all leathers on sustainability.

A lack of conventional energy resources and the associated consequences have led to a shift towards e-mobility in society in recent years. This has changed the requirements profile for Tenneco sealing components for electric drive compared to the traditional combustion engine. Figure 1 shows the change in the requirements profile. As such, Tenneco investigated the influence of these new requirements on its current elastomer portfolio in order to provide tailored materials for e-mobility applications, such as sealings for high voltage and electric components in, e.g., battery electric vehicles (BEVs) or fuel cell electric vehicles.
