General Purpose Silicone Profiles - FDA
General purpose FDA extruded silicone profiles are a flexible, food-grade material designed for reliable performance in both high and low temperature environments. Manufactured from non-toxic FDA-approved silicone, it offers excellent durability, elasticity, and resistance to ageing, making it suitable for hygienic and sensitive applications. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +230°C (up to +250°C for short periods).
High Temperature Silicone Profiles
High temperature extruded silicone profiles are a flexible, heat-resistant extrusion designed for reliable performance in demanding thermal environments. It maintains excellent flexibility and structural integrity under prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, making it suitable for industrial, automotive, and fluid transfer applications. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +270°C (up to +300°C for short periods).
Metal Detectable Silicone Profiles
Metal detectable extruded silicone profiles are a specialised food-grade extrusion designed for use in hygiene-critical environments where contamination control is essential. It contains a detectable additive that allows it to be identified by metal detection systems, helping improve product safety and compliance. It remains flexible, durable, and suitable for food and pharmaceutical processing. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +200°C (up to +230°C for short periods).
Platinum Silicone Profiles
Platinum extruded silicone profiles are a high-purity, flexible extrusion manufactured using a platinum curing process for enhanced cleanliness and consistency. It offers excellent clarity, low extractables, and strong resistance to ageing, making it ideal for medical, pharmaceutical, and food-grade fluid transfer applications. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +230°C (up to +250°C for short periods).
Flame Retardant Silicone Profiles
Flame retardant extruded silicone profiles are a specialised flexible extrusion designed to resist ignition and reduce flame propagation in high-risk environments. It combines the durability and flexibility of silicone with enhanced fire performance, making it suitable for electrical, industrial, and safety-critical applications. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +230°C (up to +250°C for short periods).
Conductive Silicone Profiles
Conductive extruded silicone profiles are a flexible, electrically conductive extrusion designed for applications requiring EMI/RFI shielding or static dissipation. It combines the resilience of silicone with consistent electrical conductivity, making it suitable for specialised industrial and electronic environments. Operating temperature range: -60°C to +230°C (up to +250°C for short periods).
The features of silicone extruded profiles
Our silicone rubber profiles are designed to deliver reliable sealing performance across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. Combining excellent flexibility with resistance to extreme temperatures and environmental conditions, silicone profiles offer several important benefits, including:
- Flexible at extreme temperatures from -60°C to 230°C (up to 300°C)
- Available in a wide range custom shapes
- Excellent electrical insulation properties
- Highly versatile and durable material
- Non-stick and watertight surface
- Resistant to UV, ozone, and weathering
- Low toxicity and resistant to bacterial growth and microbial contamination
- Suitable for dust and water ingress protection up to IP65
- Ideal for use in food, beverage, medical, and pharmaceutical applications
Silicone profiles are widely specified where consistent sealing, temperature resistance and flexibility are essential. Their ability to retain performance in challenging operating conditions makes them a popular choice for both indoor and outdoor applications. However, silicone is generally unsuitable for environments involving strong acids, petrochemicals or excessive abrasive wear.

Why choose silicone rubber extrusions.
Silicone rubber extruded profiles offer a versatile and dependable solution for sealing, insulation and protection across a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured from high-performance silicone elastomers, they combine excellent elasticity with outstanding resistance to temperature extremes, moisture, UV exposure and environmental ageing. Available in numerous shapes, dimensions and material specifications, silicone extrusions can be produced to suit specific design and application requirements. Their ability to retain flexibility, recover after compression and provide consistent sealing makes them particularly suitable for machinery, automotive components, electrical enclosures, food processing equipment and medical applications. With excellent durability and long-term performance, silicone profiles provide an effective solution for demanding operating environments.
Excellent Electrical Insulation
Silicone rubber provides outstanding electrical insulation and dielectric strength, making it a popular material for extruded profiles used in electrical equipment, cable protection, connectors and electronic enclosures.
Long-Term Flexibility and Performance
Unlike many conventional rubber materials, silicone retains its flexibility and elasticity over extended periods. Its excellent resistance to ageing and compression set helps maintain reliable sealing performance throughout the product's service life.
Suitable for Specialist Environments
Available in specialist formulations, silicone extrusions can meet the requirements of demanding applications, including food processing, medical equipment and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Specific grades can also offer FDA compliance and metal-detectable properties.
Resistant to Environmental Conditions
Silicone profiles provide excellent resistance to moisture, ozone, UV radiation and changing weather conditions. These properties make them particularly suitable for external sealing applications where long-term exposure can affect other rubber materials.
