It started with a SC340 – and grew to be a KC 390

If it ends up on one of these…


Sinclair & Rush think plastic on behalf of the broadest imaginable range of industries:

HVAC, engineering, automotive, healthcare, telecoms, cable & wire, construction, marine, household appliances, hand tools, sport & leisure, aerospace – civil and military, and more.

Whatever your need for product protection, we’ve the plastics masking, plugging, sheathing, handling, gripping, shipping solution for you.

…If it ends up on one of those - it probably started with one of these:

Whilst waiting at lights on the Euston Road in London last week, my driving concentration lapsed and work mode took over – as it invariably does. I was surrounded by cars, truck and vans, approaching Euston station, with tube trains rolling beneath, a triple 7 bearing slowly down on Heathrow overhead and the University College Hospital across the way … just imagine the volume of electrical, mechanical and hydraulic components that made up the surrounding infrastructure.

But, and more importantly, just imagine the plastic dip moulded plugs, caps, masks and sheaths that are, were and will be part of the life process of each and every one of them…

…you see, we really do think plastic.

The SC 340 is a short cap used for all manner of protective application to prevent invasive liquids or materials contaminating tubes and tubular components. The KC-390 is a medium-size, twin-engine jet-powered military transport aircraft under development in Brazil.

This is one of literally thousands of off-the-peg solutions available from Sinclair & Rush (the cap not the plane!).

Sinclair & Rush pride ourselves on anything-but-off-the-peg-custom-design also.

Our strength has always been the ability to produce customised product protection solutions for customers. Our experienced engineers create a product designed specifically for customer needs, using cutting edge software and machinery to protect valuable components for OEM end use. Our skills are even called upon as part of prototype design and modelling to ensure that masking and plugging supports engineering efficiency throughout component life.

It may just be a plastic wiring sheath to some people, but to Sinclair & Rush it’s the wiring sheath for a part of a component that becomes part of yet another unit that may, in turn, contribute to the hydraulics of the tooling element of a manufacturing process – whatever it is, we are always proud to have done our bit.


Think Plastic ~ we’re proud to.
