Silicone Tubing

 
     
 

 
Silex Limited has, for many years, been at the forefront of this market developing a comprehensive range of silicone rubber products which are now used in hugely diverse applications—from the automotive, vending and aeronautics industries to pharmaceutical and food processing. Silex’s partner, Abbeychart, is pleased to offer a full range of products made in silicone.

Tubing
A comprehensive range of tubing, with bore sizes from 0.5 mm up to 180 mm, meets the demands of practically any application. Manufactured to BS2848 the smallest tubing manufactured by Silex is most commonly used as electrical sleeving, whilst midrange sizes are generally used to carry liquids and powders within the food processing, and pharmaceutical industries.

Silex offers a wide selection of Water Council, National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved materials for use specifically within hygiene-critical applications.

Many approved colours are available and we can also supply twin tubing. Increasingly New Generation platinum is the preferred material that gives excellent resistance to taste and taint or alternatively also available is general purpose silicone that we cure with a special long cure technique. Shore hardness available from 40° to 70°.

In response to customer demand, Silex has developed a specialised process during which single or double permanent striping in any colour can be introduced along the length of the extrudate.



If you don't see what you need in our typical stock,
we can get/make any size or quantity to fulfil your requirements.
We can supply in all sizes with increments of 0.1mm.


Braided and Mendrel Built Hoses

Silex pioneered the market for clear and braided silicone hose, first introducing this rugged product to the UK at a time when existing non-silicone hoses were failing to perform. This range has been extended and complemented with the addition of mandrel built hoses, so that customers can now choose from 3 mm bore to 101 mm bore.

Standard braided hoses are available in 3 mm to 25 mm bore size whilst the mandrel built hoses range from 12.5 mm to 101 mm bore, with wire helix for vacuum applications and without for standard pressure requirements.

Although products held in stock are predominantly translucent, primarily to meet the demands of the food and beverage industries, other colours are available on request.
