Wide Range of Silicone Rubber Cords

We offer a comprehensive range of silicone rubber cords, available in both solid and sponge forms. Each type has its unique advantages:

  • Solid silicone rubber cords - Known for durability and strength, solid rubber cords are the perfect choice for those needing robust sealing capabilities. They easily withstand harsh conditions and extreme temperatures, making them perfect for industrial uses where a firm, tight seal is necessary.
  • Sponge silicone rubber cords: These are an affordable alternative to solid cords. Thanks to their compressible nature, sponge cords provide a softer seal, giving flexibility and cushioning that solid cords cannot.

Customisation & Versatility

Our extruded silicone rubber cord is highly adaptable. They can be easily joined to form silicone O-rings, which are incredibly popular due to their efficacy in various sealing applications. The flexibility in our production process allows us to cater to any size and specification, ensuring we meet your exact needs.

  • Lightweight & Flexible - Known for their extreme lightness and flexibility, sponge silicone cords are exceptionally easy to handle and install. This makes them perfect for applications where ease of use and adaptation to complex shapes and spaces are required.
  • Strong & Durable - These cords are built to last. Their strength and durability make them suitable for heavy-duty applications where a robust material is necessary to withstand tough conditions without compromising performance.
  • Hygienic and Easy to Maintain - The smooth, non-porous surface of silicone cords prevents the buildup of bacteria and other contaminants. Silicone does not degrade over time, maintaining its integrity without cracking or perishing. This feature makes it incredibly easy to clean and sanitise, ideal for industries where hygiene is paramount, such as food processing and medical environments.
  • Moisture Resistant - Both sponge and solid silicone cords are moisture resistant, making them excellent choices for use in wet conditions. This resistance ensures they maintain their properties and effectiveness in various environments, from outdoor weather to industrial water exposure.
  • Fast and Reliable Delivery - We pride ourselves on delivering your silicone rubber cords quickly and directly to you. Our fast delivery service ensures you receive your products promptly, helping you keep your projects on schedule.
  • Temperature Resistance - Silicone rubber cords can endure extreme temperatures, both hot and cold. This makes them suitable for applications ranging from rubber gaskets in automotive cooling systems to seals in refrigeration units.
  • Easy Customisation - At United Silicones, we understand that each industry has unique needs. We offer custom silicone rubber cord, allowing for a range of sizes, shapes and properties.

As leading silicone rubber cord manufacturers, we supply high-quality sponge and solid silicone cords to a wide range of industries.

Here's a detailed look at their versatile applications:
