Silicone Cone Caps

Silicone cone caps are premium high-temperature masking solutions designed specifically for professional industrial applications across the UK. These cone-shaped protective covers are manufactured from premium-grade silicone rubber, enabling them to withstand extreme temperatures up to 315°C whilst maintaining their structural integrity and sealing properties. The unique tapered interior design allows these versatile masking caps to accommodate a range of diameters from a single product, making them ideal for masking threaded studs, rods, bolts, and tube ends during intensive finishing processes.

Widely used throughout the powder coating, shot blasting, and anodising industries across Britain, silicone cone caps provide exceptional protection against coating overspray, abrasive materials, and chemical exposure. Their primary benefit lies in their reusability and cost-effectiveness, as each cap can withstand multiple production cycles before replacement, significantly reducing operational costs whilst ensuring consistent, professional finishes on components ranging from automotive parts to architectural metalwork.

Available Materials and Style Options:

• Premium-grade silicone rubber construction for maximum durability
• Natural translucent finish as standard specification
• Custom colour options available for easy size identification and workflow organisation
• Tapered cone design with flexible interior to fit multiple diameter ranges
• Available in sizes from 3mm to 22mm to accommodate diverse industrial applications
• Custom sizing options available for specialised requirements

Key Features and Benefits:

• Exceptional temperature resistance up to 315°C, suitable for most industrial curing processes
• Tapered interior design provides secure fit across multiple diameters, reducing inventory requirements
