The specialist characteristics of silicone rubber, and the expertise Silicone Engineering applies to it, allows it to serve a variety of diverse industries – including tubing, gaskets, seals and sheeting.

As transportation become faster, more reliable and more efficient, the demand for high-performance materials increases.

Silicone rubber easily meet these demands by delivering the strength, durability and safety needed in sectors such as train locomotives and carriages, marine vessels, public transportation and heavy goods vehicles.

With the outstanding ability to withstand incredible stresses and temperature extremes, silicone rubber is used widely throughout the Aerospace and Aviation industries.

Silicone rubber delivers the strength and durability needed in applications throughout the automotive sector – including silicone tubing and gaskets.

Silicone rubber’s excellent weathering properties extend the service life of automotive assemblies, making them more resistant to rain, wind, salt, abrasion, ultraviolet radiation and chemicals.

In building and construction, silicone products make construction materials work better and longer.

Silicone profiles and sections are fitted to glass, steel and plastics.

n the manufacture of solar applications, silicones are used both in the construction and the production process.

In both instances, the most important property of silicone is its durability, which has been proven to clearly outperform the durability of organic polymers.

Silicone rubber tubing and moulding is an important material in many different areas, including food processing, bakeries, breweries, vending machines, canned food, drink manufacturing and cooking equipment manufacturing.
