Manufacturing and developing new silicone rubber extrusions has been at the core of our operations since our inception, with our team using their vast experience and knowledge to produce innovative and modern solutions, taking pride in their development and continuously working to implement the latest production techniques.
We have produced over 9000 silicone rubber profiles for customers across the globe – working closely with our clients to ensure we understand project requirements and develop the perfect solution to meet your needs. The technical team at Viking Extrusions use their vast experience in manufacturing rubber profiles, providing advice on design for manufacturing (DFM) and taking ideas from a concept through to production, including sustainable manufacturing and choosing the right material for your application to ensure our product is tailored to your exact specifications.
and machinery allowing us to supply silicone profiles cut to any length required. We also have a comprehensive range of joining presses and are able to supply silicone rubber profiles, either glued or vulcanised into rings of any size.
For more information on our cutting and joining capabilities, visit our Cut to Length Silicone Extrusion and Silicone Rubber Joined Rings pages.
We can supply silicone rubber profiles complete with adhesive backing tapes applied. Specialist tapes are available on request.

We manufacture silicone rubber profiles from many different types of compounds and are confident we will be able to deliver the perfect solution for your industry purposes. The most popular types of silicone profiles we provide are:
General purpose silicone profiles
The most common type of our general-purpose silicone is FDA-approved and can be pigmented to almost any colour.
Platinum cured silicone profiles
Our platinum-cured silicone has excellent biocompatibility and is FDA and USP Class VI approved, making it suitable for medical and pharmaceutical applications. Platinum-cured silicone has high tear strength and transparency and is commonly used in food processing, peristaltic pumps and many other applications.
Heat stabilised silicone profiles
Suitable for applications up to 260°C.
High temperature silicone tubing
Suitable for applications up to 300°C.
Metal-detectable silicone tubing
X-ray-detectable silicone used for food processing applications.
Flame retardant silicone profiles
Available to EN45545-2 specifications for rail applications and FAR/JAR 25.823 for aerospace usage.
Conductive silicone profiles
Semi-conductive compound with low volume resistivity, used for electro-conductive parts, EMI shielding and heating elements.
Silicone rubber is an inorganic synthetic elastomer made from a cross-linked silicone-based polymer, offering a unique set of advantageous properties which cannot be matched by other organic elastomers, including:
Non-reactive
Silicone rubber is highly inert, meaning it does not react with the environment or most chemicals, making it the elastomer of choice for food and medical applications.
Thermal conductivity
Silicone rubber has a higher thermal conductivity than most other rubbers, with products containing high thermal conductivity used to make products such as heating rollers and thermal interface sheets.
Resistant to Ozone and UV
Silicone has superior weathering resistance compared to organic rubbers, whose carbon composition leaves them susceptible to UV, Ozone and other ageing factors.
Temperature resistant
Silicone rubber can operate in temperatures from -60°C to + 300°C. Even at extreme temperatures, silicone rubber maintains its mechanical properties such as tear strength, tensile strength, compression set and elongation.
Moisture and steam resistance
Silicone rubber can be immersed in cold, hot or boiling water for long periods without its mechanical or electrical properties being affected. Additionally, silicone can withstand steam under ordinary pressure, with specialist steam resistant grades available.
