Combustion Engine

gasket combustion engine

SOLYEM was created in 1882. In 1898 it patented the first “metal-fibre gasket”, a gasket which then was widely used for steam engines. As soon as the automotive industry developed in the 20th century, SOLYEM concentrated its activity on combustion engine gaskets and became a major worldwide expert in this field.

In the next century, during the year 2000, SOLYEM patented another gasket type: the Liquid Elastomer Moulded gasket (LEM gasket). it’s core sealing solution is made to perfectly cover a wide variety of the combustion engine’s systems such as cooling, turbo and more. Our LEM gaskets technology is used all over the world to seal some of the most complex sub-systems in the automotive and mobility industries.

SOLYEM’s presence within the sealing of combustion systems also requires it to adapt to the fast-emerging E-mobility markets of the future, broadening its activity using LEM to ensure the perfect sealing of tomorrow’s technologies. SOLYEM developed the LEM technology following its Customers’ requirements regarding improvement of performance, efficiency and environmental friendliness. Our exclusive sealing technology is used in vehicles from the powertrain to the drivetrain units.
