Silflex use only the highest quality silicone in the manufacture of its hoses to ensure that our products take high advantage of this remarkable material. Silicone rubber has a wealth of attributes which make it the ideal choice for hose applications in today's automobiles. It offers: High resistance to atmospheric oxygen, ozone,     water, sunlight and ultraviolet radiation. Good tensile strength. Flexibility and extended life at low and high     temperatures. Excellent resistance to compression set. High electrical insulation qualities. "The natural choice for the demanding under-bonnet conditions presented in today's automobiles" 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 of reinforcing fabrics, our specialist engineers are offered an almost infinite range of design possibilities. Silicone is an ideal material for small batch production parts. Due to our manufacturing process we are able to produce low volume parts for demanding applications with low tooling costs. We are able to produce complex forms on relatively short time scales to suit most applications. Silicone rubber is playing a significant part in our changing world, and Silflex's commitment to research and development will ensure that even greater benefits can be passed on to our customers. "Silicone and Silflex. Together they bring you a world of new horizons"
