Description
This premium silicone rubber strip is a high-quality, 60° Shore A grade material supplied in a practical translucent finish. Engineered for durability and reliable performance, it offers an excellent balance of flexibility and firmness, making it ideal for sealing, cushioning, spacing, and general-purpose engineering applications.
Available in a wide range of widths and thicknesses, and with the option of adhesive backing, this silicone strip can be easily tailored to suit everything from light-duty gaskets to more demanding industrial seals. Its translucent appearance allows for unobtrusive installation in laboratories, food-related environments, electrical enclosures, and precision equipment where a clean, professional look is important.
Product Features
- Manufactured from 60° Shore A silicone rubber for a firm yet flexible sealing and cushioning performance.
- Translucent finish for discreet installations and easy visual inspection in technical and hygienic environments.
- Offered in multiple standard widths, including 55 mm, 60 mm, 65 mm, 70 mm, 75 mm and additional sizes to suit varied design requirements.
- Available in a broad selection of thicknesses such as 0.3 mm, 0.5 mm, 6 mm, 8 mm, 10 mm and several other intermediate gauges.
- Optional high-tack adhesive backing for quick, clean installation on metals, plastics, glass and painted surfaces.
- Good resistance to temperature extremes, ageing and weathering for reliable performance in challenging conditions.
- Supplied in continuous strip form for easy cutting to the required length on-site.
Key Features and Benefits
- Balanced hardness of 60° Shore A provides stable dimensional integrity while maintaining enough flexibility for effective sealing and vibration damping.
- Translucent silicone helps maintain a clean aesthetic and allows underlying markings or substrates to remain partially visible where needed.
- Wide choice of widths and thicknesses reduces the need for custom tooling and enables precise matching to grooves, flanges or gaps.
- Adhesive-backed option significantly speeds up installation, removing the need for separate fixings or bonding processes.
- Excellent resistance to moisture, ozone and UV helps to extend service life in both indoor and sheltered outdoor applications.
- Easy to cut, punch and trim on-site, enabling quick adaptation for prototypes, maintenance work or small production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cut the silicone rubber strip to custom lengths and shapes?
Yes, the strip can be easily cut to size using a sharp knife, scissors or a suitable cutting tool. For more complex shapes, it can also be punched or die-cut using appropriate equipment.
Is the adhesive-backed version suitable for use on all surfaces?
The adhesive backing is designed to bond well to most clean, dry, smooth surfaces such as metals, plastics, glass and painted finishes. For porous, dusty or contaminated surfaces, additional preparation or a separate adhesive may be required to achieve a reliable bond.
Is this 60° Shore silicone strip flexible enough for curved or irregular surfaces?
The 60° Shore A hardness provides a firm material with moderate flexibility. It can conform to gentle curves and slight irregularities, particularly in thinner gauges, but may not be suitable for very tight bends or highly contoured profiles.
