General Industries Insights

Different processes, changing conditions and high loads require reliable, resistant and process-safe components even under extreme temperatures, cycles and mechanical stress.

Silnova develops and manufactures silicone solutions for a wide range of industrial applications, including hoses, profiles and seals as well as individual special solutions for long-lasting and reliable use.

Hoses

Our hose solutions are characterized by high temperature resistance, mechanical stability and reliable performance even under demanding operating conditions, ranging from standard versions to specialized applications.

Profiles

Whether special profiles or assembled versions – our profiles offer high-quality, flexibility in design and reliable function even under thermal or mechanical stress.

Custom Developments

Do you need an application-specific hose or profile development or would you like to functionally expand existing components?

Together we develop custom solutions precisely tailored to your requirements.

Industry Features

The industry is characterized by a wide range of technical applications and very diverse operating conditions. The focus here is primarily on special solutions with thermal resistance, among other features, mechanical stability and long-term functional reliability of the components used.

Silnova products are already successfully deployed in demanding industrial environments – including in autoclaves and sterilizers, in laboratory cabinets as well as in the form of round cords, profiles and hoses for RTM-process. These applications require materials that reliably withstand extreme temperatures, pressure, aging and sustained stress.

In addition to material selection, the assembly of components also plays an important role. Depending on the application, customer-specific cuts and assemblies are just as achievable as special versions with fasteners and adhesive tapes.

Our silicone-based solutions are precisely matched to the respective operating conditions and ensure consistent performance, long service life and process safety, even under continuous or cyclical permanent use. This makes them ideal for industrial applications where reliability and resistance are decisive.

Requirements & Standards

The applications are as diverse as the industries themselves. Accordingly, the requirements for materials, processes and standard conformity are wide-ranging. Silnova solutions meet the highest demands in terms of purity and material stability, for example through targeted tempering to minimize volatile components. As a result, our products are odor- and taste-neutral when required and also suitable for sensitive applications. Industry-specific standards can be reviewed and taken into account on a case-by-case basis.

Depending on the field of application, we realize material specifications: from heat-stable, chemical-resistant and electrically conductive compounds to individually adapted materials. In addition, depending on the application or export country, we take into account relevant international requirements and standards and develop perfectly fitting solutions that reliably meet the respective framework conditions.

Material Properties

Our silicone materials are characterized by high long-term temperature resistance¹ and cold flexibility². This makes them ideally suited for demanding industrial applications. They remain dimensionally stable and functionally reliable even under high heat and intense steam exposure – for example in sterilizers or autoclaves.

In addition, the materials offer consistent elasticity across a wide temperature range as well as very good aging resistance. These properties make them a reliable solution wherever components are subject to thermal, mechanical or process-related stress.

Depending on the requirements, extruded profiles, round cords as well as components specifically suited for RTM processes (Resin Transfer Molding) are used. In addition to molded parts, this also includes hoses and profiles that are optimally tailored to the requirements of the process. This makes it possible to realize both simple and complex geometries with high reproducibility and consistent quality.

The materials used are plasticizer-free and PFAS-free and can – depending on the design – also be used for applications involving contact with sensitive media. This results in long-lasting, robust components that reliably meet the high demands of industrial operating conditions.

¹ For dry heat up to +200°C, special formulations up to approx. +300°C, short-term up to approx. +315°C
² Down to approx. -60°C, special grades down to approx. -90°C

Future-Ready Solutions

Sustainability aspects are continuously integrated into the further development of our product portfolio. Already today, we offer hose solutions for a wide range of industrial applications in which alternatives to PFAS-containing products are used.

Together with our customers, we assess the requirements of the respective application and support them in selecting suitable product options.

Custom Developments

Alongside our proven standard versions, we also realize customer-specific custom developments for demanding industrial applications. When special requirements arise, we develop precision-fit solutions together with our customers.

In doing so, special versions are created such as insulating hoses for thermally demanding processes or hoses for dry ice blasting in extreme cold applications in the extreme cold range. These examples demonstrate how flexibly material structure and construction can be adapted to individual requirements.

Whether new geometries or multi-layer material structures – our development teams accompany the entire process from the first idea through the concept phase to technical implementation. This results in solutions precisely tailored to the respective operating conditions and fields of application.
