Dairy is where the Silclear story began. 🐄

Long before we expanded into sectors such as pharmaceutical, food processing and industrial manufacturing, we were supplying silicone products to the dairy industry and supporting farms across the UK and the world.

Today, dairy remains a huge part of what we do.

Silicone is an ideal material for dairy applications thanks to its flexibility, durability and excellent resistance to temperature extremes, cleaning chemicals and repeated wash cycles. It’s non-toxic, easy to clean and well-suited to hygiene-critical environments where reliability matters every single day.

At Silclear, we manufacture a wide range of dairy silicone products including:

🐮 Milk tubing
🐮 Pulsation tubing
🐮 Sampling tubing
🐮 Milking liners
🐮 Silicone dairy fittings
🐮 Bespoke dairy silicone solutions

Our silicone products are designed to offer long service life, consistent performance and reliable operation in demanding milking environments.

From parlour to pipeline, dairy continues to be one of the industries at the heart of Silclear.

What is silicone sheeting actually used for? 🤔

From food production lines to industrial machinery, silicone sheeting is one of the most versatile materials used across modern manufacturing and engineering.

Its combination of flexibility, temperature resistance, durability and hygienic properties makes it suitable for a huge range of applications, including:

✔ Gaskets and seals
✔ Thermal insulation
✔ Protective linings
✔ Food-grade processing environments
✔ Electrical insulation
✔ Cushioning and impact protection

Available in a wide range of thicknesses, Shore hardnesses and colours, silicone sheeting can also be tailored to suit highly specific application requirements.

In case you missed it, we recently explored the key uses and benefits of silicone sheeting in our latest blog. Check it out here 👇

Silicone is a critical material within the Food & Beverage processing sector.

Behind every cup of coffee, bottled drink or processed food product, there are components working hard to ensure safe, hygienic and reliable production. Silicone tubing, hoses, seals and gaskets are widely used throughout these systems.

Why silicone?
✔️ Food-safe and non-toxic
✔️ Resistant to extreme temperatures, hot and cold
✔️ Flexible yet durable under constant movement and pressure
✔️ Resistant to flavour transfer
✔️ Easy to clean and compatible with regular washdown and CIP processes
✔️ Long service life, helping reduce downtime and maintenance

You’ll find silicone components used in environments such as:
🔸 Beverage bottling lines
🔸 Breweries and wineries
🔸 Coffee and vending systems
🔸 Filtration and transfer systems
🔸 Food processing and packaging machinery
🔸 High-temperature or high-pressure fluid handling applications

In an industry where hygiene, compliance and reliability are non-negotiable, material choice matters.

Strength you can measure. 🔬

This machine is used to assess important silicone material properties including tensile strength, tear strength and elongation.

These tests help us understand how a silicone compound performs under force, how resistant it is to tearing, and how far it can stretch while maintaining its integrity.

By carefully monitoring material performance, we’re able to maintain consistency, support quality assurance and ensure our silicone solutions are suited to their intended application.

Another example of the attention to detail that goes on behind the scenes here at Silclear.

🐝 🌺 🐝 It's World Bee Day 2026 🐝 🌻 🐝

They might be small, but bees carry a huge responsibility.

Bees are essential pollinators, supporting around a third of the food we eat and playing a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Without them, everything from crops to wild plants would struggle to survive. And if they struggle to survive, then so do we!

But bee populations are under pressure from habitat loss, pesticides and climate change.

The good news? Small actions can make a real difference:

🌼 Plant bee-friendly flowers (especially native species)
🌿 Let parts of your garden grow wild
🚫 Avoid or reduce pesticide use
💧 Leave out shallow water sources for thirsty bees
🏡 Consider adding a bee hotel or safe nesting space

Protecting bees isn’t just about helping wildlife, it’s about protecting the ecosystems we all rely on.
