Engineered and functional silicone components
Parts where silicone performs a defined job — sealing, protection, tactile interface or movement — and the specification matters more than the appearance.
Function first: sealing, protection, interface
This is the deepest product direction and the one closest to the engineering capability behind the rest of the site.
Engineered functional silicone components
Components developed from a 2D drawing, 3D / CAD file, physical sample, existing component or a confirmed functional specification. Geometry, fit, material, function and manufacturability are reviewed before tooling.
Custom molded technical parts

Seals & gaskets
Sealing components developed around fit, compression, contact surface and environmental requirements.
Protective boots & covers
Boots and covers for equipment, housings, connectors and exposed interfaces.
Interfaces & pads
Pads, interfaces and contact components for cushioning, sealing, protection or controlled contact.
Overmolded components
Silicone combined with plastic or metal inserts for integrated sealing, grip, protection or functional structures.
Repeat OEM components
Parts developed against approved specifications for repeat OEM production.

Compliance by application
Material documentation such as FDA- or LFGB-type testing support is reviewed for the specific grade where applicable.
Protection, fit and grip
Custom protective boots and covers for devices, controls and equipment — molded to your device dimensions with cut-outs for connectors, buttons and displays.
Device geometry & cut-outs
Boots and covers molded to your device dimensions, including cut-outs for connectors, buttons and displays.
Sealing & ingress review
Perimeter and compression designed around the closing method; enclosure-level ratings are validated on the complete assembly.
Grip & surface
Surface texture and hardness selected for grip, feel and handling conditions.
Material selection
Grade chosen for temperature exposure, cleaning agents and the service environment.
Wall thickness & flexibility
Wall sections balanced so the cover flexes where needed without losing protection.
