Silex not only has exceptional technical expertise, but one of the widest ranges of stock and manufacture capability in the industry.
Whether you need a single square meter of sheeting, many thousands of meters of tubing - or anything in between - Silex can work with you to find and supply the ideal solution.
We hold many of our best selling products as stock
Our production possibilities are almost limitless
Our technical abilities are constantly evolving
The widest range of stock, available anywhere!
Silex not only has exceptional technical expertise, but one of the widest ranges of stock and manufacturing capability in the industry.
Regardless of your requirements, our wonderful team will help and support you to find your ideal solution. Unlike most silicone rubber suppliers, we hold many of our most popular products in stock; including tubing, sheeting and cord, which makes for extremely short lead times and small Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs)
This also allows us to produce seals, gaskets, O-rings or other fabrications, with added adhesive backing if required, in record time. If we don’t have the product you need in stock, our expert in-house tooling, manufacturing capabilities and wide range of compounds and additives mean that production possibilities are almost limitless, with lead times from 6 weeks and MOQs from just 10m. Our technical abilities are constantly evolving to ensure we can meet our customers’ demands, no matter how unusual. Innovation is just one of the great strengths of Silex Ltd and our team.
Why Silex?
Huge Product Range in Stock
Silex and MVQ hold an extensive range of products in stock in the UK and Europe. This allows for extremely fast lead times. Products can be punched into gaskets, waterjet cut, cut to lengths, printed, or adhesive backed to your specification, on site, within days. Silex and MVQ are also part of the “preferred converter” network of the Rogers Corporation. We supply the full range of their low-smoke, low-toxicity silicone sponges and foams for the Automotive, Rail and Aerospace industry.
Bespoke Production
For slightly more unusual products, Silex and MVQ offer bespoke manufacturing. In-house tooling allows us to produce a vast range of sheeting, extrusions, seals, gaskets and mouldings to your specifications. We stock a huge range of high-quality compounds from Dow Corning, Elkem, Momentive and Wacker Chemie, from which we can select the perfect compound for your project. Colour matching, printing, special colour effects, self-adhesive backing and fabrication services are all available on-site.
Technical Expertise
With over 35 years in the business, the Silex and MVQ technical sales team have a wealth of experience and expertise to discuss your requirements and work with you to find the ideal solution for your application. If you’d like to chat to a member of our technical team, please contact us.
In-House Tooling
If we don’t already have a suitable tool in stock, our in-house tooling capabilities allows us to produce a variety of appliances. For example, extrusion tools, punches and jigs can be fabricated quickly, and within tight tolerances so we can work to your exact specifications. You can find our range of existing tools here.
Premium Quality Product
Silex and MVQ only stock the highest quality silicone compounds and products from Rogers Corp, Wacker Chemie, Dow Corning, Momentive and Elkem. This allows us to produce extremely high quality products to tight tolerances that are suitable to almost any application. We produce silicones to FDA, WRAS, KTW, BFR XV and USP Class VI standards to name a few.
Low MOQs and Fast Turnarounds
An extensive range of products held in stock and vast manufacturing capabilities allows us to supply silicone rubber products with very low minimum order quantities, with lead times from next-day for stocked items.
