About SILEX Limited Silicone Sheeting, Hoses And Seals

Silex was established in 1985, and is one of the UK's leading manufacturers of silicone-based products. They hold the country's largest stock of sponge and solid sheeting including FDA Sponge and Metal Detectable options.

Silicone Sheeting Products

Silex manufactures and stocks a comprehensive range of silicone sheeting from rubber in both solid and sponge grades. With hardness's from 10-90 shore A, or in a range of densities, sheeting is available in a variety of grades to suit almost any application. Low to High Temp Silicone Sheeting Silicone sheeting performs at a wide range of temperatures, with standard grades performing at temperatures from -60C to +230C, with high and low temperature grades also available. Where food, medical or pharmaceutical applications are required, FDA or metal detectable grades are available. Silex silicone sheeting can be supplied off the roll or converted into strips, seals, gaskets and fabricated products.

Silicone Hose Products

When the size range required exceeds the possibilities of extruded products or when wire reinforcement is required for vacuum applications, mandrel-built hoses can be a great alternative. Hoses of up to 300mm diameter can be produced, including platinum cured grades for pharmaceutical applications, peroxide cured coloured hoses for coolant, and various flame retardant and industrial grades for technical applications, including fluorosilicone lined hoses suitable for use with volatile fuels. Along with our large tube range, Silex stocks a selection of braided and reinforced hoses suitable for vacuum or pressure applications and our large coolant hose offering not only includes straight lengths and reducers but a range of elbows and straight connectors.

Silicone Seals, Washers & Gasket Products

The fabrication department at Silex has an extensive range of machinery for cutting gaskets and silicone seals from solid and sponge sheet and washers and sleeves from tubing. Excellent tolerance bands on dimensional aspects are guaranteed. Silex also manufactures joined silicone seals from extruded sections and cords with a variety of special fabrications and assemblies, sometimes incorporating non-silicone items such as valves or connectors. The Silex portfolio includes hot and cold adhesive bonding, mitre corner bonding and our film joining technique.

Silex's fabrication department offers a range of services for producing seals, washers and gaskets to tight tolerances.

Waterjet Cutting - a very precise solution for even small batch productions. All we need is a drawing.
Blade Cutting - a low cost, high precision method of producing gaskets and washers to either hand-cut or punch washers, seals or gaskets.
Pressure Sensitive Adhesive Backing - PSA backing can be applied to any flat surface quickly and cost-efficiently.
Assembly with Non-Silicone Items - such as valves and connectors.
Film Joining - Using a film of silicone rubber compound and curing with pressure and heat to form an extremely strong joint.
Cold Adhesive Bonding - Using a silicone adhesive to bond items.
Mitre Corner Bonding - A precise method of bonding corners, popular for seals and gaskets for angled surfaces.
Moulding - producing moulded seals, washers and gaskets (rather than cutting or punching from sheet) with exceptionally precise, clean edges.
