💡 Have an idea for a silicone product but aren't sure where to start?

Not every project begins with a finished drawing or detailed specification.

At Silclear, we work with customers across a wide range of industries to design, develop, and manufacture bespoke silicone products tailored to their specific requirements.

Whether you're developing a brand-new product, improving an existing component, replacing an obsolete part, or simply trying to solve a technical challenge, our team is here to help.

From custom tubing, hoses, mouldings and extrusions to specialist silicone components, we can support projects from initial concept through to full-scale production.

Our custom product design and development service can help with:

✅ New product development
✅ Existing product improvement
✅ Reverse engineering
✅ Material selection
✅ Manufacturing optimisation
✅ Technical problem solving

And don't worry if you don't have a finished design. Many successful projects start with nothing more than an idea, a sample or a problem that needs solving.

How soft or firm should silicone be?

That all comes down to Shore hardness.

Different applications require different material characteristics. Some products need to be soft and highly flexible, while others require a firmer compound for added durability, sealing performance or structural stability.

Here at Silclear, Shore hardness testing helps us measure the firmness of silicone compounds and finished products to ensure they meet exact customer and application requirements.

It’s another small but important part of delivering reliable, high-quality silicone solutions.

Behind every finished silicone product is a team of people putting in the work to make it happen. 👏

From preparing materials and operating machinery to inspecting, finishing and packing products, there’s a huge amount that goes on behind the scenes here at Silclear every single day.

Whether we’re producing tubing, mouldings, extrusions or bespoke silicone components, consistency and attention to detail are at the centre of everything we do.

It takes experience, teamwork and a lot of hands-on knowledge to keep production moving smoothly, especially when manufacturing products for demanding industries such as food, dairy, pharmaceutical and industrial applications.

A big thank you to the Silclear team for the hard work that keeps everything running!

Dairy is where the Silclear story began. 🐄

Long before we expanded into sectors such as pharmaceutical, food processing and industrial manufacturing, we were supplying silicone products to the dairy industry and supporting farms across the UK and the world.

Today, dairy remains a huge part of what we do.

Silicone is an ideal material for dairy applications thanks to its flexibility, durability and excellent resistance to temperature extremes, cleaning chemicals and repeated wash cycles. It’s non-toxic, easy to clean and well-suited to hygiene-critical environments where reliability matters every single day.

At Silclear, we manufacture a wide range of dairy silicone products including:

🐮 Milk tubing
🐮 Pulsation tubing
🐮 Sampling tubing
🐮 Milking liners
🐮 Silicone dairy fittings
🐮 Bespoke dairy silicone solutions

Our silicone products are designed to offer long service life, consistent performance and reliable operation in demanding milking environments.

From parlour to pipeline, dairy continues to be one of the industries at the heart of Silclear.

What is silicone sheeting actually used for? 🤔

From food production lines to industrial machinery, silicone sheeting is one of the most versatile materials used across modern manufacturing and engineering.

Its combination of flexibility, temperature resistance, durability and hygienic properties makes it suitable for a huge range of applications, including:

✔ Gaskets and seals
✔ Thermal insulation
✔ Protective linings
✔ Food-grade processing environments
✔ Electrical insulation
✔ Cushioning and impact protection

Available in a wide range of thicknesses, Shore hardnesses and colours, silicone sheeting can also be tailored to suit highly specific application requirements.

In case you missed it, we recently explored the key uses and benefits of silicone sheeting in our latest blog. Check it out here 👇

Explore silicone sheeting uses across industries, including sealing, insulation, protection and non-stick applications.

Silicone is a critical material within the Food & Beverage processing sector.

Behind every cup of coffee, bottled drink or processed food product, there are components working hard to ensure safe, hygienic and reliable production. Silicone tubing, hoses, seals and gaskets are widely used throughout these systems.

Why silicone?
✔️ Food-safe and non-toxic
✔️ Resistant to extreme temperatures, hot and cold
✔️ Flexible yet durable under constant movement and pressure
✔️ Resistant to flavour transfer
✔️ Easy to clean and compatible with regular washdown and CIP processes
✔️ Long service life, helping reduce downtime and maintenance

You’ll find silicone components used in environments such as:
🔸 Beverage bottling lines
🔸 Breweries and wineries
🔸 Coffee and vending systems
🔸 Filtration and transfer systems
🔸 Food processing and packaging machinery
🔸 High-temperature or high-pressure fluid handling applications

In an industry where hygiene, compliance and reliability are non-negotiable, material choice matters.

Strength you can measure. 🔬

This machine is used to assess important silicone material properties including tensile strength, tear strength and elongation.

These tests help us understand how a silicone compound performs under force, how resistant it is to tearing, and how far it can stretch while maintaining its integrity.

By carefully monitoring material performance, we’re able to maintain consistency, support quality assurance and ensure our silicone solutions are suited to their intended application.
