What Are Silicone Mouldings?

Silicone mouldings are shaped components manufactured from silicone rubber using compression or injection moulding techniques. These parts are designed to perform in specific environments and applications where flexibility, hygiene, and thermal or chemical resistance are critical.

Silicone’s unique properties make it ideal for moulded parts, especially in sectors where performance under pressure, heat, or strict hygiene conditions is essential.

Compression Moulding

Silclear is equipped to handle low-to-medium volume silicone moulding projects using efficient compression moulding techniques. This process involves placing uncured silicone into a heated mould cavity where it is compressed into shape.

Compression moulding is ideal for:

  • Prototyping and short production runs
  • Simpler part geometries
  • Reduced tooling costs
  • Faster tooling lead times

Our in-house compound mixing and close collaboration with trusted toolmakers mean we can offer quick turnaround and excellent value.

Injection Moulding

With nearly 40 years of experience in injection moulding silicone components in the UK, Silclear delivers high-quality, consistent parts at scale. This process involves injecting silicone rubber into a closed, precision-machined mould under high pressure and heat.

Injection moulding is ideal for:

  • High-volume production
  • Complex or precision parts
  • Fast cycle times
  • Lower cost per part (at scale)

Though tooling costs are higher upfront, injection moulding becomes more cost-effective as volumes increase.

FAQ

Silicone mouldings are custom-formed components made from silicone rubber, shaped using moulds to create complex or simple parts with consistent precision. These mouldings are used across industries for their durability, flexibility and high-performance material properties.

Silicone mouldings are widely used in sectors such as medical and pharmaceutical, automotive, food and beverage, electronics and industrial manufacturing. They are ideal for seals, gaskets, diaphragms, connectors and any component requiring resilience and hygiene.

Silicone mouldings offer excellent thermal resistance, flexibility, chemical stability and long-term durability. They’re also non-reactive, biocompatible and resistant to UV, ozone and extreme weather, making them suitable for both critical and harsh environments.

Compression moulding uses heat and pressure to shape silicone in a cavity, making it ideal for smaller batches or larger, simple parts.

Injection moulding forces silicone into a closed mould at high speed and pressure, suitable for high-volume production with tight tolerances.

Yes. At Silclear, we specialise in producing custom silicone mouldings tailored to your exact requirements. Whether you need specific shapes, material properties, colours or certifications, we work with you from design to delivery to meet your project goals.

We offer a wide range of silicone grades including food-grade, medical-grade, industrial-grade and flame-retardant silicones. Each grade is carefully selected to suit the application’s regulatory, thermal and mechanical requirements.

Silicone mouldings can be produced in a broad spectrum of colours and shore hardnesses (typically from 20 to 80 Shore A). This flexibility allows for clear identification, brand consistency or application-specific functionality.

Yes. Our silicone mouldings can be manufactured to meet international standards such as FDA 177.2600, BfR XV, 3-A Sanitary Standards, EC 1935/2004, and ISO 10993 for medical use, depending on your application requirements.

Lead times vary based on complexity, volume, and tooling needs. For standard parts, we offer fast turnaround, while custom mouldings may take longer to prototype and produce. Contact us to discuss your timelines and we’ll work to meet them.

Our technical team can advise you on the best process based on your part’s geometry, volume, material requirements and end-use conditions. We help determine whether compression, injection or another method is most efficient for your needs.
