Description
This premium silicone rubber strip is a high-quality, professional-grade sealing and gasketing material designed for demanding industrial and commercial applications. Manufactured from durable, 60° Shore silicone, it offers a reliable balance of flexibility and firmness, making it ideal for long-lasting seals, cushioning and vibration damping in a wide range of environments.
Supplied in a translucent finish, the strip is suitable for use where appearance and visibility of underlying components matter, such as enclosures, glazing, and equipment housings. Available in practical widths of 95mm and 100mm, and a broad choice of thicknesses from 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and additional options, it can be tailored to suit a variety of sealing gaps and load requirements. Selected variants are offered with an adhesive backing to make installation quick and clean on smooth, prepared surfaces.
Product Features
- Manufactured from 60° Shore silicone rubber for a firm yet flexible sealing and gasketing performance.
- Translucent material for a clean appearance and improved visibility of underlying surfaces and components.
- Available strip widths of 95mm and 100mm to suit common sealing and protection requirements.
- Multiple thickness options including 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm and additional sizes for fine-tuning seal compression and support.
- Optional adhesive backing on selected variants for easy peel-and-stick installation to clean, dry substrates.
- Resistant to a wide temperature range, typical of silicone rubber, for use in both heated and chilled environments.
- Excellent ageing and weathering resistance, helping maintain performance in indoor and outdoor settings.
Key Features and Benefits
- Provides a reliable, long-term seal thanks to the 60° Shore hardness, which resists permanent deformation under moderate compression.
- Translucent finish supports discreet installation where a neat, unobtrusive appearance is important.
- Wide choice of thicknesses allows you to match the strip to specific gap sizes, improving sealing effectiveness and reducing air, dust or moisture ingress.
- Adhesive-backed options reduce installation time and remove the need for separate fixings or adhesives in many applications.
- Silicone rubber’s inherent resistance to ozone, UV and ageing helps maintain flexibility and integrity over extended service life.
- Suitable for use across diverse industries, reducing the need for multiple different sealing materials on site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone rubber strip be used outdoors?
Yes, silicone rubber offers excellent resistance to weathering, UV and ozone, so the strip is suitable for many outdoor sealing and protection applications, provided it is correctly installed and used within its typical temperature limits.
How do I choose the right thickness of silicone strip for my application?
Select a thickness that, when compressed in your joint or gap, provides a firm seal without being crushed flat. Thinner strips like 2.5mm or 3mm suit small, even gaps, while thicker options such as 4mm, 5mm or 6mm are better for larger tolerances or where more cushioning is needed.
Does the adhesive backing provide a permanent bond?
The adhesive backing is designed to give a strong, long-lasting bond to clean, dry, smooth surfaces, but it is primarily intended for positioning and holding the strip in place. For critical or high-load applications, additional mechanical fixing or a dedicated adhesive may be advisable.
