What is Silicone Extrusion?

Silicone extrusion is a manufacturing process used to produce continuous lengths of silicone with a consistent cross-sectional profile. During the process, uncured silicone compound is forced through a precision-engineered die, creating a profile that is then cured to produce a durable, flexible silicone product.

The extrusion process is ideal for manufacturing products that require continuous lengths or uniform profiles, making it one of the most efficient and versatile methods of silicone manufacturing. It allows for the manufacture of bespoke profiles tailored to specific dimensions and performance requirements, while also maintaining consistency throughout production.

Guide to silicone extrusion

Why Choose Silicone Extrusion?

Continuous lengths

Silicone extrusion is ideal for manufacturing products in continuous lengths, making it the preferred process for tubing, seals, gaskets and other linear profiles that require consistent dimensions.

Cost-effective

Silicone extrusion offers an efficient and economical manufacturing method, particularly for medium to high production volumes and long, continuous products.

Repeatable

The extrusion process delivers reliable, repeatable results, ensuring every profile is manufactured to the same high standard throughout production.

Consistent

Silicone extrusion provides excellent dimensional consistency, helping to ensure finished products meet specification and perform reliably in their intended application.

Minimal waste

As a continuous manufacturing process, silicone extrusion makes efficient use of materials, helping to reduce unnecessary waste while maximising production efficiency.

Complex profiles

Using precision-engineered extrusion dies, silicone can be manufactured into a wide variety of simple or complex profile shapes to suit bespoke applications and customer requirements.

Scalable production

Whether you require prototype quantities, small production runs or high-volume manufacture, silicone extrusion provides a flexible process that can be scaled to meet changing production demands.

FAQ

Silicone extrusion is a manufacturing process used to produce continuous lengths of silicone with a consistent cross-sectional profile. The process is commonly used to manufacture products such as tubing, seals, gaskets, cords and bespoke profiles for a wide range of industrial, food, pharmaceutical and engineering applications.

Silicone extrusion offers a cost-effective and efficient manufacturing solution for producing continuous silicone profiles. It provides excellent dimensional consistency, repeatable quality, design flexibility and is suitable for both small and high-volume production runs.

Silicone extrusion can be used to manufacture a wide variety of products, including silicone tubing, cords, seals, gaskets, profiles and many other bespoke extruded components. The process is ideal for products that require a continuous profile or consistent cross-section.

Yes. Silclear manufactures bespoke silicone extrusion profiles tailored to the exact requirements of each customer. We can develop custom tooling, advise on material selection, match colours and manufacture profiles to your required dimensions and tolerances.

Silicone extrusion is used across many industries, including food and beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, medical, industrial manufacturing, engineering and laboratory applications. Silicone’s durability, flexibility and resistance to extreme temperatures make it suitable for a wide range of demanding environments.

Silicone extrusion is generally the preferred manufacturing process for products requiring continuous lengths or consistent profiles, such as tubing and seals. Silicone moulding is typically better suited to individual components with more complex three-dimensional shapes. If you’re unsure which process is right for your application, our experienced team will be happy to advise.
