Applications of Silicone Rubber in Energy Industries
Silicone rubber extrusions are the ideal material for an array of energy sector-related applications. Our 30+ years of experience ensure that we deliver durable, high-performance solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Renewables
- Seals and Gaskets: Used in wind turbines, solar panel frames and energy storage systems to prevent water and air ingress, enhancing reliability and performance.
- O-Rings: Provide sealing in connections for energy storage and battery systems, ensuring airtight protection and longevity.
- Custom Profiles: Silicone extrusions designed to provide flexible seals in varying environmental conditions, particularly in solar and wind energy systems.
- Solar Power Membrane: Silicone rubber extrusions are used in the membrane of solar panels to provide excellent weathering resistance, UV stability and long-term durability, ensuring the panels maintain their performance under harsh environmental conditions.
- Silicone Hoses for Wind Turbines: Silicone hoses are used in wind turbines for fluid transfer and cooling systems, where high-temperature resistance, flexibility and durability are critical for continuous operation in harsh, outdoor environments.
Oil and Gas Industry
- O-Rings: Used in sealing and preventing leaks in valves, pipelines and pumps. We provide custom silicone seals that ensure a reliable, leak-free performance, reducing the risk of failure in critical systems.
- Gaskets: Provide a secure seal in flanges and other connections, ensuring the safe transport of gases and liquids.
- Custom Tubing: Used for fluid and gas transfer in pipes and valves, ensuring resistance to extreme pressures and chemicals.
- Vibration Dampers: Silicone extrusions help minimise machinery vibrations in harsh environments, preventing damage and wear.
Nuclear Energy Industry
- Gaskets and Seals: Used to seal high-temperature, high-pressure equipment like reactors, containment structures and piping systems. Our bespoke gaskets offer exceptional resistance to extreme temperatures, radiation and pressure.
- Custom Tubing: Silicone rubber extrusions for fluid and gas transfer in nuclear plants, where temperature resistance is critical.
Insulating Materials: High-temperature resistant silicone extrusions used for thermal insulation in reactors and other sensitive equipment.
