Ideal for use in sealing, gasketing, vibration damping and edge protection, this silicone strip is available in multiple widths and thicknesses to suit your project requirements. Its inherent temperature resistance and weatherability make it a dependable choice for use in factories, workshops, HVAC systems, electrical enclosures and general engineering applications.
Product Features
- Manufactured from high-quality silicone rubber with a Shore A hardness of 60° for balanced flexibility and durability.
- Available widths including 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, 55 mm and 60 mm, plus additional width options for specific installation needs.
- Offered in a range of thicknesses such as 0.3 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm, with further thickness variants to match precise sealing gaps.
- Supplied without adhesive backing for maximum versatility in mechanical fixing, clamping or custom bonding methods.
- Excellent temperature resistance typical of silicone rubber, suitable for both high and low temperature environments.
- Good resistance to weathering, ozone and UV, helping maintain performance in indoor and outdoor applications.
- Can be cut, punched or shaped to form gaskets, seals and strips tailored to your specific installation.
Key Features and Benefits
- Consistent sealing performance thanks to 60° Shore hardness, offering a firm yet compliant seal that resists compression set.
- Wide choice of widths and thicknesses allows accurate matching to groove sizes, flange faces and irregular surfaces.
- Silicone formulation provides dependable operation over a broad temperature range, reducing the risk of seal failure in fluctuating conditions.
- Resistant to ageing and environmental exposure, helping extend service life and minimise replacement and maintenance intervals.
- Easy to handle and fabricate with standard cutting tools, supporting quick on-site adjustments and custom gasket creation.
- Non-adhesive format gives flexibility in how it is installed, enabling use with fasteners, retainers or separate bonding systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this silicone rubber strip be used in high-temperature applications?
Yes, silicone rubber is well known for its ability to perform reliably at elevated temperatures compared with many other elastomers. This strip is suitable for typical high-temperature industrial environments, but you should always check that the expected operating temperature range for your application is compatible with silicone rubber.
How can I fix the strip in place if it does not have adhesive backing?
The non-adhesive strip can be installed using mechanical methods such as clamping in channels, compressing between flanges, using fasteners with retaining washers, or by applying a suitable separate adhesive or sealant compatible with silicone rubber and the mating surface.
Can I cut the silicone strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the strip can be cut to size using sharp knives, shears or appropriate cutting tools. It can also be punched or shaped to create custom gaskets and profiles, allowing you to adapt it precisely to your sealing or protection requirement.
