Moulded and extruded components for sealing and gasketing, plus custom parts and ready-to-use compounds. Everything is made to your drawing, sample or specification. If it is rubber and it seals, we most likely make it.
Cured under heat and pressure in hydraulic presses, with tooling held in-house. Best for complex geometry and high repeatability. Every part here can be moulded in silicone, EPDM, NBR, FKM or neoprene.
Compression moulded gaskets in Silicone, EPDM, NBR, FKM and Neoprene, 20 to 90 Shore A. For flanges, enclosures and housings that see pressure and temperature cycling. Made to your drawing, or reverse-engineered from a worn sample.
Ready tooling for over 3,000 sizes covering BS 1806, ISO 3601 and metric standards, in every compound we mix. Static and dynamic sealing from -60°C to +230°C depending on polymer. Repeat orders on existing tooling ship fast.
Cable and wire-entry grommets that have passed IP66, IP67 and IP68 testing as part of our customers' products. Silicone and EPDM standard, with blind closed-membrane types for unused knockouts. We design the interference fit for your panel thickness and hole size.
Moulded washers in over 1,000 sizes from moulds we already hold, plus custom dimensions to drawing. Any of our elastomers, 30 to 90 Shore A. Volumes from a handful to millions.
Rubber bonded onto steel, stainless steel, aluminium, brass and other metal inserts, for parts such as bonded bushes and sealing plates. Every insert is cleaned and its surface prepared before moulding. Send your own inserts, or we machine them for you.
Continuously vulcanised to a constant cross-section, cut to length or joined into loops. Over 500 dies on hand, new dies cut to your drawing. EPDM sections run on a dedicated line, down to 40 Shore A.
Over 500 dies on hand: U-channels, D-sections, A- and P-sections and edge trims. New dies are cut in our own toolroom in days, not weeks. EPDM for weather, silicone for heat and cold.
Closed-cell sponge profiles, cords and strips. Lower compression stress and weight than solid rubber, so lightweight doors and covers still close properly. In soft, medium and firm grades.
Extruded lengths joined end-to-end into endless loops. Silicone is vulcanised silicone to silicone, with no glue. EPDM is vulcanised in thick sections and bonded with cyanoacrylate in thin ones. A-type, D-type and P-type sections. Mitred 45° or other corner joints on request.
Extruded silicone tubing, 1 mm to 40 mm ID, wall thickness held to tight tolerance on the CV line, for liquid transfer, insulation sleeves and gasketing. Compliant grades for food, pharmaceutical and potable water service: FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, BfR XV, USP Class VI and BS 6920, with documents on every dispatch. EPDM to order.
Round, square, rectangular and sponge cord, 1 mm to 25 mm, 30 to 90 Shore A, cut to length or joined into rings. Often the cheapest way to seal a machined groove. Flat silicone strip with a consistent section and high tear resistance, for service from -60°C to +225°C, with food-grade, heat and acid resistant grades. Common sponge cord sizes are usually available from stock.
Our speciality: soft extruded sections down to 30 Shore A in silicone and 40 Shore A in EPDM. Soft enough to seal light doors, thin panels and slightly warped flanges without closure force, and held to section on the CV line where soft compounds normally slump. Where a standard 60 Shore A profile will not close, this is the fix.
Send a drawing, a sample or a description of the problem. CAD, compound selection, tooling and production all happen under one roof, so a first article for a simple part is usually ready in about a week. Reverse engineering of imported parts is routine work here.
Uncured compound mixed to your spec and delivered ready for your own presses. Conductive, fire-resistant, self-extinguishing, or an extremely low compression set. We formulate it and prove it on the rheometer before dispatch.
First articles before you commit to a production tool. Soft-tooled and hand-finished rubber prototypes in your chosen compound, and CNC turning and milling of metal parts, inserts and test fixtures in our own machine shop. One piece or fifty, so you can fit it, test it and change it before the hard tool is cut.
Silicone sponge takes -60°C to +200°C without complaint. It seals under the lightest closure force, so thin lids and lightweight doors actually close instead of warping against a solid profile. And it barely ages. Sun, ozone and heat cycling do very little to it.
COST
Extruded can undercut moulded
An extruded silicone gasket can land cheaper than a moulded EPDM one. A moulded gasket needs a mould, and you pay for it. An extrusion die costs a fraction of that and is cut in days. Join the extrusion into an endless loop and any perimeter is possible, still with no mould to pay for. Most buyers assume the opposite until they see the quote.
Technical Specialisations
Where We Excel
Four areas where our capability runs deeper than standard rubber manufacturing.
01
Soft Silicone Extrusions, 30 Shore A
Extruding silicone at 30 Shore A is technically demanding, the compound is highly elastic and difficult to control dimensionally through the die. We have mastered the compounding, die design, and vulcanization parameters to produce consistent soft silicone profiles at this hardness, ideal for LED luminaire seals, electronics enclosures, and medical device housings where low closure force is critical. The same line runs soft EPDM down to 40 Shore A, where the seal lives outdoors and cost matters more than the temperature range.

02
Gaskets for IP66, IP67 and IP68 Enclosures
We design and manufacture gaskets that hold IP66, IP67 and IP68, and we engineer them for it rather than just quote the rating. Groove fill, compression set and creep are worked out before the tooling is cut, so the rating survives years in service, not just the type test. Proven in lighting, electronics and electrical fittings.

03
Endless Extruded Gaskets, Cut and Joined
We extrude profiles to precise lengths and join the cut ends into one endless loop. Silicone joints are vulcanised with silicone compound, so there is no glue. EPDM is vulcanised in thick sections; thin EPDM sections are bonded with cyanoacrylate. The joint is the strong point: done properly it matches the profile for strength, and ours sometimes exceeds it. Just as important, it is consistent. The hundredth loop joins exactly like the first. Any perimeter without new tooling, in A-Type, D-Type, P-Type and custom sections.

Common Questions
Silicone (VMQ), EPDM, FKM (Viton), NBR, Neoprene (CR) and SBR, plus over 1000 custom formulations developed in-house for specific temperature, chemical and IP requirements. Tell us your operating conditions and we'll recommend the right compound.
Yes, both, and on a dedicated continuous vulcanizing line of their own. Moulded EPDM gaskets, washers, O-rings and grommets to your drawing, and extruded EPDM profiles, channels, sponge sections and joined endless loops down to 40 Shore A. EPDM is the cost-effective choice wherever a seal sits outdoors: UV, ozone and weathering resistance close to silicone, at a lower price, provided there is no oil or fuel contact and the temperature stays inside −50°C to +110°C.
Yes. Our grommets have passed IP66, IP67 and IP68 testing as part of our customers' products, and our gaskets and seals go into IP-rated products such as luminaires and enclosures.
From prototypes to millions of pieces. We turn samples around extremely quickly, and repeat orders on existing tooling ship fast.
Yes. Silton has supplied the Indian and United States markets since 2002, backed by a four-decade OEM track record. Send a drawing and we will quote.
Yes. Send a sample, drawing, or datasheet. We reverse-engineer it and make it here, often for less than it costs to import.
A profile extruded to precise length with the cut ends joined into an endless loop, with no new tooling for a different perimeter. Silicone joints are vulcanised silicone to silicone, with no glue. EPDM is vulcanised in thick sections and bonded with cyanoacrylate in thin ones. A vulcanised joint compresses like the rest of the profile, so the IP rating holds around the full loop.
30 Shore A, very soft, requiring specialised compounding and die design. Ideal where low closure force is critical: LED luminaires, electronics enclosures, medical housings. Sponge and foam profiles go softer still.
Yes. We extrude silicone tubing in compliant grades for food contact, pharmaceutical, and potable water applications, formulated to FDA 21 CFR 177.2600, BfR Recommendation XV, USP Class VI (chapters 87 and 88) biological reactivity requirements, and BS 6920 (WRAS) for drinking water contact. Sizes from 1 mm to 40 mm ID, custom wall thicknesses to your drawing. Tell us your application and the compliance documentation your industry requires, and we will confirm the right grade before you order.
Absolutely. Send a drawing in any format: STEP, IGES, Parasolid, DXF, PDF, even a hand sketch. We've made everything from micro O-rings under 5 mm to panel seals over a metre long.
Our grommets have passed IP66, IP67 and IP68 testing as part of our customers' products, and our gaskets and seals go into IP-rated products such as luminaires. An IP rating belongs to the finished product, so tell us your enclosure and duty and we will suggest the right section and compound.
