How can silicone be used?

Silicone sponge is used in a variety of applications but generally its purpose is to seal, insulate or protect an application from flame, heat, water, dust or general weathering.

Acoustic & vibration insulation

Silicone sponge protects applications from vibration damage acting as a dampener, as well as being an acoustic insulator in.

Seals & gaskets

Silicone sponge provides ultra low compression force deflection and compression set making it ideal for use as seals and gaskets

Thermal insulation

It’s closed cell structure allows for excellent thermal insulation in a wide range of applications.

Protection & safety

Protection from environmental stresses, vibration and extreme temperatures.

Sealing profiles

Custom sponge extrusions (tubing, profiles, cords and sections) are used commonly as seals for LED units and other electrical enclosures

The combination of silicone’s durable, flexible and hygienic properties

With its extreme temperature resilience, excellent elongation and resistance to weathering, silicone is an ideal material for dairy tubing, which is often exposed to the elements and subjected to harsh treatment in the milking parlour. It offers a robust solution perfectly suited to all-weather conditions, no matter how severe.

Silicone Engineering’s suraSil™DS is our standard dairy tube. Below is a technical data table showing the mechanical properties:

Other dairy tubing grades:

suraSil™DX – Extreme high tear dairy tubing for ultimate durability
neutraSil – antimicrobial silicone proven to prevent growth of harmful bacteria
Twin Air Pulse Tubing – Used for efficient milk flow

PRODUCT FEATURES

Why choose silicone rubber tubing for the dairy industry?

As an engineering technical specialist, Silicone Engineering’s high performance suraSil™DS range of dairy tubing is designed to deliver the highest durability, flexibility and hygiene performance which sets us far apart from the competition.

Durability

suraSil™DS dairy tubing has been specially formulated by our engineering specialists to provide a strong wall structure and is tested to withstand the daily wear and tear of dairy parlours. Its durability makes silicone dairy tubing the ideal solution for this industry.

Flexibility

suraSil™DS dairy tubing stays flexible up to -60°C, ensuring no cracking or splitting occurs during cold winter temperatures. This flexibility allows dairy and agricultural workers the reassurance that the silicone can withstand all weather conditions and be constantly reliable.

Hygiene

Our dairy tubing has been specially designed with an ultra-smooth inner surface to reduce the risk of particle build up from the milk. This increases the efficiency of daily hygiene cleaning, reducing the risk of the build-up of harmful bacteria.

neutraSil™ - antimicrobial silicone tubing

neutraSil is an antimicrobial silicone independently proven to prevent bacterial growth such as E. coli, Salmonella and MRSA. Compliant to FDA regulations and EC 1935/2004, neutraSil™ is used in dairy, food manufacturing and healthcare sectors to improve safety and hygiene standards. As an engineering specialist, we are delighted to provide the highest quality silicone tubing to safely serve the dairy industry.
