Did you know silicone extrusion is about much more than tubing?

While silicone tubing is one of the most common extruded products, the extrusion process can also be used to create a huge range of custom profiles, cords, seals, strips and specialist shapes.

Depending on the application, silicone extrusions can be designed with:

• Solid or hollow sections
• Simple or complex cross-sections
• Sealing lips and channels
• Different wall thicknesses
• A range of Shore hardnesses
• Custom colours and material grades

These profiles can be used in applications including:

• Sealing and gasketing
• Machinery and equipment
• Doors, panels and enclosures
• Food and beverage processing
• Pharmaceutical and medical equipment
• Electrical and thermal applications
• General industrial components

At Silclear, we manufacture both standard and bespoke silicone extrusions, helping our customers develop profiles around the exact requirements of their application.

Today is World Mental Health Day. 💚

A reminder that our mental health matters just as much as our physical health, and that sometimes simply checking in with a colleague, friend or family member can make a difference.

Take time for yourself, look out for those around you, and remember that it's always okay to talk.

Getting these dimensions right can affect everything from fit and flow to flexibility and performance.

In this Knowledge Hub article, we break down:
• Internal diameter (ID)
• Outside diameter (OD)
• Wall thickness
• How each measurement affects tubing performance
• What to consider when choosing the right size
