As per findings from industry research, the effectiveness of an antivibration mount hinges on its material composition. The automotive antivibration mounting material is the core technology that determines its ability to isolate noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). These materials are designed to absorb and dissipate vibrational energy, preventing it from transferring from the source to the vehicle structure.

Rubber is the most established and widely used material due to its excellent flexibility and damping properties . However, modern applications require highly specialized elastomers. Depending on the operating conditions—such as temperature, oil exposure, and ozone resistance—manufacturers select specific synthetic rubbers like SBR, EPDM, NBR, and AEM . These materials are often bonded to metal components for structural support and are designed to match the shore hardness of the original equipment to ensure maximum performance and longevity . For example, a composite with equal loading of conventional carbon black and slag has been shown to provide 17% better mechanical damping .

The industry is also moving toward more sustainable automotive antivibration mounting material solutions. Researchers are developing eco-friendly composites using industrial waste like slag and silicon carbide (SiC) to replace conventional petroleum-derived carbon black fillers in NVH mounts . These innovative materials, reinforced with natural rubber from renewable resources, can provide synergistic dynamic stiffness equivalent to traditional composites while offering a broader isolation zone and lower critical frequency for vibration isolation . For high-performance applications, hydraulic mounts, which are filled with a special fluid, offer superior vibration and noise reduction compared to standard rubber mounts . As the automotive industry, particularly the electric vehicle sector, demands higher-performance and sustainable solutions, the development of advanced materials will continue to shape the market .
