We’re heading to Brussels!
We’re heading to Brussels! Silflex is proud to be exhibiting at Busworld – Exhibitions, the world’s largest event for the bus and coach industry. Silflex designs and manufactures precision-engineered silicone hose systems, all in-house, right here in the UK. From concept to production, it’s all under one roof – which means consistent quality and quick […]
Silicone Testing Lab
The Silflex plant houses a purpose built laboratory with almost all of the testing equipment purpose built to Silflex’s exacting standards. Testing in-house allows us to lower costs and simulate operation whilst recording and monitoring the hoses dynamic performance in a controlled environment. Reproducing the operating conditions in this way enables us to monitor, test […]

Why silicone?
Silflex use only the highest quality silicone in the manufacture of our hoses to ensure dependability and longevity of the products we produce. The basic physical stability of silicone rubber is the result of its unique molecular backbone structure of alternating silicone and oxygen atoms, creating a synthetic elastomer. With the addition of a variety […]
Research & Development
Research and development isn’t an add-on here at Silflex; it’s embedded everywhere. Continuing investment in material science, silicone technology, tooling precision, and performance testing empowers us to engineer hose solutions that meet or exceed expectations and perform reliably in the most demanding environments worldwide. With dedicated R&D engineers, on-site testing facilities, and rapid prototyping capability, […]
The benefits of bespoke silicone hose
Bespoke silicone hose can actually reduce costs compared to the time consuming black rubber assemblies.Silicone may not be the obvious choice for hose assemblies due to its apparently high cost. But bespoke silicone hose can actually reduce costs compared to the time consuming black rubber assemblies. Silflex has over 20 years of experience in designing […]
