When your application demands a unique solution, our engineers work with you from concept to manufacture to create fully custom silicone hose designs. Multi-branch assemblies, complex geometries, specialist linings, and tailored fittings — all delivered rapidly with complete in-house control.

Durable, heat-resistant, and engineered for long-term reliability, our coolant hoses are trusted across commercial vehicles, agriculture, rail, defence, and more. Designed to withstand extreme thermal cycles and vibration while maintaining consistent performance.

Robust, heat-resistant hoses engineered for turbocharger and charge air cooler systems. Built to handle extreme temperatures, pressure pulsation, and demanding duty cycles without degradation.

Specialist hoses designed to withstand aggressive fuels, oils, hydraulic fluids, and harsh operating conditions. Manufactured using reinforced materials and tailored internal linings for safe, reliable fluid transfer.

Future-ready silicone solutions for hydrogen, EV, and advanced battery cooling systems. Designed for thermal stability, chemical resistance, and emerging technology requirements — supporting next-generation mobility.

Certified to meet stringent flame-retardant standards, our fire-safe silicone hoses protect critical systems in rail, defence, construction machinery, and high-risk environments. Engineered for performance when safety matters most.

High-performance hoses engineered for motorsport, specialist vehicles, and demanding industrial applications. Designed for high pressures, elevated temperatures, and maximum reliability under load.

High-precision extrusion manufactured in-house for consistent wall thickness, flexibility, and clean finish. Ideal for fluid transfer, insulation, and specialist industrial applications where quality and reliability are critical.

Braided, layered, or fabric-reinforced tubing with exceptional strength and stability. Ideal for high-pressure systems requiring enhanced durability without compromising flexibility.

Lightweight, compressible silicone foams and sponges designed for sealing, insulation, and vibration damping. Manufactured to exacting standards for consistent density, resilience, and long-term durability.

Silflex has the in-house capability to incorporate a range of specialist liners into our hose constructions. This transforms standard silicone products into highly engineered solutions for our customers’ more challenging environments.

Smooth-bore silicone hoses engineered for sanitary applications in food processing, pharmaceutical, medical and laboratory environments. Easy to sterilise, non-reactive, and built for contamination-free performance.
