UTV’s (side-by-side) and ATV’s (Quad, 4-wheeler)
Add Cellasto® to suspension components to give your all-terrain and utility vehicles a smoother and safer ride. The high compressibility of Cellasto® boosts the performance of your jounce bumpers without compromising their durability and can be applied in small installation spaces. Even in grimy conditions, Cellasto® sustains its outstanding capabilities and extends the life of your products.
Motorcycles
Improve your on-road and off-road motorcycle’s performance and durability using Cellasto®. High compressibility, along with oil, fuel and grease resistance, makes it ideal for use in motorcycle jounce bumpers and drive dampening components. This unique material’s low stiffness while under compression across a broad range of vibrational frequencies makes it ideal for motorcycle NVH reduction.
Snowmobile
Incorporate Cellasto® into your snowmobile’s design to give your riders a significantly smoother experience. Cellasto® offers responsive dampening for both high and low impact, improving your snowmobile’s suspension dynamics. In icy temperatures and gritty conditions, Cellasto® also maintains its high performance, enhancing steering capabilities, improving seat suspension, and reducing vibration transmission.
Electric vehicles, golf carts
Upgrade the comfort and safety of your products when you add Cellasto® to components for electric vehicles, scooters, and golf carts. Through its high resilience, Cellasto® provides superior vibration reduction of powertrains and better impact protection for motors and battery packs.
Cellasto® ensures safe, durable light vehicle performance
Designing with Cellasto® will give your light vehicles a competitive edge by extending product life, reducing NVH, and improving rider protection. In suspension components, Cellasto® outperforms other elastomers.
High resilience, compressibility, and wear resistance under demanding conditions make it the solution of choice for producing long lasting, dependable components for light vehicle applications. Custom solutions co-created with BASF’s team of experts make the possibilities for your innovations limitless.
