Due to the continued investment and drive by Silflex LTD to ensure we have suitable research facilities on site and engineers and Technicians with dedicated roles of development we are able to evaluate new materials and enhance hose operation to meet specific customer requirements. Our service to the customer is designed to provide solutions as well as manufacture existing product at a very high standard. Part of our development work involves continuous testing in demanding applications that is why we actively support Formula Student. This involves the design construction and manufacture of a car suitable for track trials, within specific design limitations. Many Universities get involved in this project with some of the keenest future designers pushing the operating windows and developing much needed feed back on the hose properties. This again is a valuable source of information on hose. As we are one of the few Silicone hose manufacturers that put such emphasise on development we have the resources at hand to react rapidly. Silflex is proud of its reputation for rapid response from design to delivery, however exacting the requirement. Hoses manufactured within the Silflex facility are also their branded performance hose Samco Sport which with its close ties to motor racing, rally, truck racing and all other forms of motorsport give an unrivalled feedback on the parameter of performance that can be achieved with reinforced silicone hose.
